Minutes
SiDora
- Key technical individual for DGi hasn't been around
- Info from Erin hasn't been the most useful
- Wondering if they will be sending us a virtual machine image (VMWare/Virtual Box)
- Seems like they need to get rid of the garbage content before handing it our way
- Feeling like their SCM is rather out of control, appears that they may be building code out of Thorny's site
- Dan planning to continue bugging Erin to get the cleanup done and an AMI sent our direction
- Does Jonathan need to have a conversation with the CEO of DGI? Will pass this by Mark, see what's appropriate
- It does not seem like there is a well developed plan for getting us what we need
Advisory group meeting
- Jonathan: Hesitating about setting up advisory meeting
- Up in the air about what we'd like advice on
Directional challenges
- Where to go with DfR, discussion with Michele
- Could be a real challenge for us organizationally to meet the work requirements of DfR in the next year
- High level of effort to be able to market to both audiences (researchers as well as institutions)
- Institutional IT departments would need to get behind this effort for it to work
- Dan: Functionality proposed competes with existing products from orgs with deeper pockets
- The level of effort to support DfR in production is likely beyond the ability of DuraSpace, at the current staffing level
- Would like to explore partnerships with other institutions
- There is a lot of potential in the DfR concept
What do we need to finish out this year
- SiDora, in working condition
- A bit of UI work to get things looking consistent in SiDora
- Pretty much all of the non-survey, non-interview pieces of the 0.3 release
- Need to wrap up some documentation - Jonathan to define what is missing
Interview and Surveys
- What to ask from Kim?
- Expecting that we need to have a less constrained discussion
- Survey discussion as we've discussed it is likely too narrow
- Would like to get her perspective on future directions
