Hello ECOLOG-L subscribers, You may have seen a few posts by me over the last several months, since I joined ESA as director of membership and communications in June. Most of what I've shared so far has been business of the Society that may have broader community interest.
What I'm sharing now concerns all ECOLOG-L subscribers. Several months ago, ECOLOG-L founder Dr. David Inouye, a longstanding and distinguished member of ESA, requested that the Society take over administration of ECOLOG-L on a full-time basis. Since that time, we at ESA HQ have been working with Dr. Inouye and the technical team at the University of Maryland to sketch out a smooth transition plan. ESA is proud to be stepping in to support the ECOLOG-L community on its own platform, Ecologists Collaborating Online (ECO). It is our intention to ensure a seamless transition from the University of Maryland server to our own, and we look forward to providing this crucial service for the ecological community going forward. Currently, there are no actions that you will need to take: On approximately Nov. 12, 2018, the ECOLOG-L archives will be migrated to ECO, as will all user accounts, and ECOLOG-L itself will be shut down by the University of Maryland. We will be sharing more details about the transition, including what you can expect to see on ECO, over the next several weeks. If you have any specific questions, please contact j...@esa.org.
