- Did we conclude as a group to recommend Option 2 for Steering Group Membership - Yes that is the steering recommendation.
- Tech Lead Seach
- Had search committee meeting this am May 22
- Kristi Searle was very helpful in moderating the event for more feedback with all candidates.
- Got feedback on candidates - 1 from Leadership - 1 from Steering Group - 2 from Workgroup Leads - all feedback forms were completed by people that had heard all candidates except 1 who had only heard 2 of them.
- Need to vet references for all candidates
- Any relocation questions with candidates - will need to follow up on this in next round
- All candidates strong on agile development
Are we looking for someone who already understands a deep semantic approach and can lead technically - or are we looking for someone who may rely on the community for deep knowledge but shows more evidence of talent for getting development going in the community?
- Search committee ready to do anything to follow up on these issues.
- Search committee will make rank ordered recommendation to Duraspace. Duraspace will follow up with additional interviews and offer.
- Roadmap Process
- first document - shows outline toward roadmap creation
- second document - draft features - things that people are eager to see in VIVO - went through notes and previous roadmaps etc - found lots of proposed features for VIVO - end-user vs stewardship vs development features (three categories) - don't need to draft suggestions for new features we have plenty to do in that area - many recurring themes - draft features had 25 for each of the three categories
- need put constraint around voting for preferences based on estimates of time for each item.
- Need to keep roadmap workplan moving ahead
- Future Topics
- Looking at VIVO and Elements and SHARE and other expert systems and what types of data should be used from organizational systems.
- If SHARE Notify can be setup correctly it could be a major source of new data for VIVO
- Our next meeting – May 29 – is joint with the work group chairs
Action Items
- Mike Conlon and debra hanken kurtz will follow up regarding share notify
- Mike Conlon will solicit agenda items for the joint meeting next Friday
