Develop a VIVO Camp that can be held as needed. The camp engages newcomers to the VIVO community, providing an introduction to VIVO for planning, evaluation, and implementation purposes. The camp is not a developers camp, nor a hackathon. It is intended for those new to VIVO, to provide them with an introduction to research networking systems, the VIVO community, software, and data models. The camp must be sustainable – revenue from the camp must be sufficient to offset the expenses of holding a camp.
