Hi friends! Popping in to share some important things happening in the Community. 

⏰Reminder: This week we have the opportunity to ask some questions directly to the wonderful Product Manager for Registry & Inventory, Tori Erhdhart. Those can be threaded on her “Meet the PM” article.

1.🧑‍💻 We have a git repo! - The brilliant minds on our Lab Automation team put together a Github repository where folks can share scripts that convert data from raw instrument data outputs to the open source Allotrope standard.  The Allotropy open source library is a FAIR data standard and will help your team find greater efficiencies working with your instruments. We have this linked on the Product News page! 

2. 💫We really really really value your ideas. Our product teams are preparing to perform their quarterly response-a-palooza! 🗓️The week of October 30th, our Product Operations Team will be combing through all the submitted ideas. They will be adding the ideas that meet our voting criteria into our internal product feedback systems, and updating the statuses of those ideas to reflect their standing on the roadmap. Our Product Managers will be in the Community responding to ideas and digging deeper where clarity is needed.
➡️Before that week, be sure to get your ideas in, and upvote the ones you’d like to see enacted! 

3. 🎪We have some pretty cool events coming up! With the launch of Benchling Connect, we want to give our users all the opportunities to understand this new functionality, ask questions about how it could fit into their systems and processes, and figure out what implementing this change looks like. Come see our product teams review Benchling Connect at the What’s New Webinar, bring your questions to our Product Manager AMA with Nari Kang, or chat with Ken and other Benchling users about how they want to use Benchling Connect at our Boston User Group Meetup.
