#opendata #fairdata #biodiversity

~Typical day at work @ #FinBIF, mostly meetings:

- Reviewing first year of a large-scale crowdsourcing-based biodiversity project, setting goals for future (bird atlas)
- Sprint review & planning, 20+ things going on
- Planning map UI for visualizing nature observations
- Planning mobile app UI to collect data about underrepresented species systematically
- Thinking where on Mastodon to set up account(s) for us
- Investigating why certain data is missing (reason, again: political, not tehnical)
