On 30 March the first PECBMS webinar took place. Over 30 participants joined the event dedicated to the RTRIM shell. We discussed the data preparation, most common errors and how to use the Online tool. We also introduced a new forum in Slack to share experience within the whole network.
RTRIM shell Webinar
We are happy that 35 national bird monitoring coordinators and their colleagues joined the webinar. After a short introduction we presented several presentations:
Data preparation for RTRIM shell (Antoine Derouaux)
RTRIM-shell calculation – most probable Error messages (Eva Šilarová)
RTRIM-shell output preparation for On-line tool (Eva Šilarová)
Online tool – from data upload to data validation (Eva Šilarová)
PECBMS Forum (Alena Klvaňová)
After a short break, the discussion followed.
You can also check the Webinar Agenda that contains a short manual on working with RTRIM-shell and Total Commander during data calculation and preparation for ONLT upload.
PECBMS forum
For a long time, we were thinking about a kind of platform to share our experience within the whole network, to let anyone ask questions and look for answers, discuss problems. Finally, we have chosen the Slack application to set up a forum. You can visit it here: pecbms.slack.com
We have invited all the national coordinators, however in case, you have not received the e-mail, please contact Alena at klvanova@birdlife.cz. You can also invite your colleagues!
If you are new to Slack, read the PECBMS forum_instructions, or the channel #basic-information in Slack.
We thank all webinar attendees for joining!
See you in Slack!
