Additional Speakers for November meeting

• Pam discussed the need to make a decision on inviting possible alternates for Ontologies, Paleobotany and other topics.
• Based on emails received, people are interested in Ontology issues. It was suggested that Damian Gessler is connected with Plant Ontology and will already be at the meeting.
• Hilmar Lapp was suggested because of his view from the informatics/cyber infrastructure side would be a good addition.
• Quentin Cronk was suggested for his morphology background.
• It was agreed that Doug and Pam would invite anyone they thought appropriate to attend the meeting without further discussion from the group.
