User GroupsNCBO currently has two user groups, the purpose of which is to improve bi-directional communication between the Center and those who use its software in order to facilitate feature updates, bug repairs, and usability. BioPortal User GroupBioPortal User Group Meetings have been suspended until September. Please check back for an updated schedule. User Group Members: See Here for upcoming meeting times, login instructions and news You can now see video recordings for past usergroup sessions This group provides a forum for new change requests for BioPortal functions and features, and for discussion of the value and capabilities of these requests. It allows the NCBO BioPortal team to formally communicate software related information to the user communities. Members of the BioPortal User Group are part of communities that utilize the software, such as biologists, medical personnel, clinicians, and computer scientists. Each community is represented by one individual that participates in committee meetings by presenting and voting on feature changes, as the ambassador from their community. All members have the option to participate in usability studies and user acceptance testing. For a list of current communities in the BioPortal User Group, and for more information, please read the Charter. To Join, please email the Committee Chairperson, Natasha Noy Phenote+ User GroupThe Phenote+ User Group aims to enhance knowledge transfer between software developers and users, thus driving the development of the software.
