| We have only one item for the moment. Should it be sent out every other month (change the settings)? Or should I (John) turn off when we don't have sufficient posts? Tracy: what about asking the other ARKA WGs for posts? John: for example a new specification did come out Tracy: we should add it Roxana: maybe we can also add WG meeting minutes/standing agenda items that are newsworthy and convert them to posts. Tracy: It would be difficult for me to write posts that are technical. Maybe one person per WG could write a summary for the newsletter. Julien: maybe we can change the automation algorithm (more than 2 or 3). John: yes I can look into tweaking the algorithm. John: Liaisons could be people that sit on Tech&Outreach (eg, Roxana), NAAN&Outreach (eg, Maria), etc. | |
calls for papers, submission deadlines, upcoming meetings: Calendar of events | Roxana: I wanted to be on the RDA panel but I had to pay fees to participate so I'm not going to attend it. Tracy: hard deadline (March) for the next iPRES conference in Glasgow. The new ARK specification could be of great interest if solid enough now or before March. Roxana: it is a good idea to present the new ARK specification at iPRES 2022. Tracy: I will update the Calendar of events. John: everybody should feel free to keep this up to date. | |
people to work on Getting Started page (discussed 09-23 meeting) | Roxana: only one comment from Maria (concerning EZID) - we can definitely take it out. John: who wants to take the information down? Everybody should have access to arks.org Tracy: I removed the part about EZID on the website. Everyone - please have a look at the Getting started page so we can publish it. | |
Blog post about ARK origin story | John | Reworking from the interview. John: when ready, I will ask for input. |
Blog post about iPres Lightning talk slides | Tracy | Tracy: conferences are different from published pieces. When should we let people know that we did participate at a conference? Before, during, after? Also where do we want to make the slides available? John: This lightning talk is available on Slideshare. Julien: we could embed it directly on the post. John: better to use the WordPress Shortcode than copy/pasting the HTML through an <iframe> on WordPress. |
new Wikipedia history section | Peter | John: peter added a History section on Wikipedia. He thinks that it could still be improved. Please have a look and provide feedback if needed. |
If ARKA becomes a member of NDSA... Each member organization is required to identify and provide one or more representatives to participate in NDSA activities. Multiple representatives are encouraged. Representatives from NDSA member organizations agree to:
Interest GroupsContent
Standards and Practices
Infrastructure
Working GroupsWorking Groups are created on an as needed basis. Once formed, groups may perform a one-time activity, a cyclical activity, or an ongoing activity. This activity level is listed after the Working Group name below. Further details about each group is provided on their individual pages. Communications and Publications (ongoing)
Conference Planning Program Committee (annually)
Excellence Awards (annually)
Fixity (cyclical)
Levels of Preservation (ongoing)
Task Force on Membership Engagement and Recruitment
NDSA Agenda (cyclical)
Staffing Survey (cyclical)
Storage Survey (cyclical)
Web Archiving (cyclical)
| John: a few things to do if we want ARKA to become a member of the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA), such as having representatives in one or more NDSA Interest and Working Groups. How much time would it involve though? Tracy: it could vary substantially depending on the interest and working groups. For instance the design of the new version of the Levels of Digital Preservation Matrix that required a lot of work. Tracy: I want to make sure though, if I participate also as an ARKA member, that I can serve ARKA interests as well as those from my institution. One interesting group: the Infrastructure Interest Group. John: would you see yourself signing up for this group? Tracy: Yes. But how committed do you need to be within the NDSA? For example in the IIIF community, it's not really a problem to not participate actively for a while. NDSA - USA, even if they do have a little bit of international range. See https://ndsa.org/membership/members/ Roxana: what's the difference between members and partners? Could ARKA become a partner rather than an NDSA member? Maybe they don't really advertise this as such. For instance, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is a partner. John: maybe partners are like sponsors. But I don't know the difference. Tracy: how did it come up? John: conversation with Nathan Tallman. Tracy: John, could you ask Nathan for more details? | |
