MIMS team

The MIMS team is split into three groups, the software developers, data curators and the systems administrators, with Bryan McAlister as coordinator and Marjolaine Krug as the OCIMS and MIMS Manager. The MIMS manager position is in the process of being filled.

All requests to the MIMS team should be submitted through the ticket system - instructions on using it can be found here.
