[Linux-aus] Final report on Stemformatics Data Portal

Thu Oct 26 12:26:53 AEDT 2017

I will pass that on - thanks Kathy!

That sounds perfectly reasonable - I'll check in with Sadia (who is the
only one available) and take it from there.

Thanks again for the opportunity to engage with the LA community. It was
definitely worthwhile.

Regards,

Rowland
