Each site is planning general orientations, setting up resident with laptop, reviewing goals of the project, credentials, like email. Carolyn will add them all to the wiki.

Specific to resident:
Alicia (Chicago Botanic Garden) will be doing a Garden Volunteer orientation, as she will be classes as a volunteer. Leora should ask to have Alicia added to the Collections Call.
Katie (MCZ) will dive right into transcribing.
Pamela (Smithsonian) will learn about the people she will be surveying
Ariadne (MOBOT) will get an orientation to the MOBOT library and tech space.
Marissa (LA)

Workshop travel plans
Some are better formed than others. Carolyn will add a travel plan grid to the Bootcamp page so we can fill in our plans as they are solidified.

Changing call time
Going forward (beginning Jan 18) we will meet on Tuesdays at 2 PM Eastern, 1 PM Central and 11 AM Pacific

Next up:
We should talk about whether the residents should join all our calls or not. Definitely the Jan 18 one, though. Perhaps once a month?

Also, the residents need to set up virtual communication links. It might be a good time to talk about Slack as a communication tool. Other resident cohorts have found it useful. Residents should have their own (unmonitored by mentors) communication vehicle.

Homework: Review the timeline and grant text so we can talk about how we are doing in keeping up with the grant tasks and outcomes.
