Being an iNaturalist Curator

That was fun, so we're doing it again:

Saturday, April 18th at 6PM Central Daylight Time (see in your local timezone)

We'll have a group chat, with @bouteloua screensharing / presenting, about what it's like to be a curator and what some of the common tasks are. If you're already a curator, feel free to join in and add your perspective!

To attend, download Discord’s software or mobile app (there are issues viewing the stream in a browser)

Under Voice Channels, open the General chat a little before it starts
Once @bouteloua begins screen sharing, you will need to Join Stream
We have a concurrent text chat at #v-of-the-c too
Please mute yourself when not talking :)
