The Biological Data Standards Cluster has created accompanying guidelines to the Biological Data Standards Primer that provide more context and details for data managers. The goal of these guidelines is to bridge the gap between the Primer and the full, lengthy standards documentation, by giving the information necessary to help data managers decide which standards should be used for the biological data they are working with. Currently these guides are stored in a repository in the ESIP GitHub. Interacting with, or contributing to, the GitHub repository might not be intuitive or standard practice for all users of the guidelines. In this session, we will introduce some GitHub basics for users, and using GitHub as a tool, we want to encourage the ESIP community to provide structured feedback and ensure the guidelines are accurate and aligned with current standards for biological data. Value to Session Participants: For those newer to GitHub, this session will provide an environment to learn how to make a fork, submit a pull request, and submit issues. Recommended Ways to Prepare: Review the Biological Data Standards Primer
