Minutes
1) Announcements/catch-up
- Working on IMLS grant application w/Northwestern (Evviva) for Hydra international outreach
- Trip to Cape Town in December - Michele has helped to coordinate funding for Debra to attend to talk about all things DuraSpace
2) Prospects
- Membership/partnership outreach
- BIBSYS
- No response from Frode yet
- Michele recommends making finding personal connections/introductions - he may have some
- BIBSYS is using XLIbris
- SURF - Michele may have some connections for personal introductions
- RIAN
- Michele doesn't know much about this org - but will talk with contact at Trinity College, John Marves and get some info
- Canadian Federation of Library Associations
- no one knew anything about this org
- Mark Leggot has a new role with Canadian Research Libraries - VIVO is working on that connection
- BIBSYS
- Other outreach opportunities
- Less ideal targets:
- DUOC
- Michele doesn't see a direct interest in DuraSpace activities - might not be an ideal target for outreach
- Debra agrees the connection may not have ideal alignment and likely not membership potential, but that it may be an introduction/gateway for other connections; she attended conference in Santiago, they were very interested in Hydra
- Ankos - because of coup in Turkey it may not be worth effort right now, Michele had contact he spoke with before coup and they wanted a closer connection with community and DuraSpace, Michele will contact again when things stablize a bit
- DUOC
- Ideal targets
- COAR - Michele will make some personal introductions

- Mike added that VIVO is cultivating connections in Austrailia, specifically the National Data Service - and that outreach to the region is strategic now given that OR17 will be in Australia
- Michele knows Paul Sherlock, can introduce him - Mike indicated this would be helpful
- Mike says NDS is very involved in research impact
- Jonathan addes that the emphasis there seems to be on research data repositories - sharing research data/info
- Red Clara

- Discussed Columbian DSpace instance list: http://registry.duraspace.org/registry/dspace?f[0]=field_country%3Acolombia, Val mentioned that Columbian DSpace has been growing rapidly over the past few years so may be worth looking at

- Jonathan suggested that there might be opportunities for VIVO
- Less ideal targets:
