Announcements
New Software Screenshots
In cooperation with The Natural Biometrician, the penguins around the shop here have been working on redesigning the FPS database developed by The Forest Biometrics Research Institute. Many times the developers have made the announcement that the FPS database is just an example and users are expected to customize it to fit their needs. The FSD Office Penguins are well on the way to making that a reality with straightforward updates, navigation menus, and functions. Check out some of the initial screenshots at The Natural Biometrician and tell us what you think. Want to use the interface for something else. Go for it. It is flexible enough to handle just about any MS Access database type of model.
Oh ya, the downside is the cost. FREE!!!! Yes, that is right we are giving it away as we should. Currently settling on the license before releasing in mid-November 2017. To protect the USER, we are actively considering GPLv3. Open Source! That doesn’t mean we would turn down contributions if you feel that it is worth the development.
Solar Eclipse 2017
Ok seriously you think that on a day where the entire United States will be able to see some form of eclipse the office penguins will be in the office. NEVER!!! Viva la penguins! The office is packed up and will be in the center line of totality. Where will you be? We will post after the event.

Happy New Years - Well for FPS
Remember that July 1 is the first day of the new year for The Forest Projection and Planning System (FPS). This means anything measured this year before today is assigned a year of last year for its measurement. Today ALL growth is considered to have happened and it is year end of the current calendar year.
Upcoming Workshop Cancled
The planned workshop scheduled for February 8, Getting the Most Out of Your Inventory Data with FPS: Building a Wall-to-Wall Inventory, has been canceled. No real word on why from WFCA when asked. This is the second time FSD has attempted to run this workshop in cooperation with WFCA and the second time it has been canceled by powers not in the control of FSD and no real information on why.

Here is a quick summary of the first day of the FBRI hosted event and some of the things we learned.

Parking at Oregon State University costs a fortune. in 1 month the new FPS libraries will be released with no software update. July was specifically mentioned several times.
