Over 30 participants, decided to forgo free time exploring the Colorado Rocky Mountains at the 2006 All Scientists Meeting (ASM) to listen to Susan Stafford, University of Minnesota, and Peter Arzberger, UCSD University of California, San Diego - who joined the group via skype – to discuss opportunities for long-term mentoring and professional development for LTER Information Managers (IMs).

In response to the e-mails that have been circulating regarding the GIS committee, I was interested in looking at the results from the 2003 GIS survey and finding out who is involved in GIS at each site currently. I was able to access the surveys from the13 of 24 LTER sites that responded. But as the survey is already 4 years old I wanted to find out the current responses to the survey. So I summarized the results of the 2003 survey by quickly going through the surveys and simplifying the results.
