Notes
- Updates
- No meeting next week
- Fedora will offer training in October. Three days. $1000 for industry, $600 for academic, $400 for Duraspace member. Donated space at a university. No instructor compensation. Must have 10 students or cancel. Make $10K twice a year.
- Nominations open for Steering group. Please encourage nominations
- Roadmap process underway. Please discuss roadmap items during your meetings
- Trip report from Open Repositories. Lots of Duraspace.
- SHARE Notify looks like an interesting source of data for VIVO. 41 sources so far in a single RESTful interface.
- Site List
- Purposes
- Registry. Duraspace has a master registry of sites using its software. The registry drives various displays in the Duraspace Drupal sites. Expected to have a site view in the new VIVO web site.
- Wiki. Currently the "best" list of sites. Need to reconcile with other lists. Perhaps not have a list of international sites. Just one page with public VIVO and sites implementing VIVO. Need to retire sites that are no longer active and archive their names.
- Prospects. Some sites a prospects for membership. Having a better list of sites provides a better foundation for developing a list of prospects (not all prospects are VIVO sites).
- Premium sites. Some sites have outstanding VIVO implementations. These will be featured on the new web site. We will need to identify 6 or 9 sites (numbers are the result of the web design) that have top notch implementations.
- Improve the list
- Steering Group members and the Community
- Adding new sites from the listserv
- Reviewing the list with Zoho for contacts
- Contacting the contacts
- Purposes
- Completing the Web site
- Videos. Three 90 second videos – VIVO Intro (cut down version of the Duraspace QuickByte video), VIVO ontology (one of the ontologists describing the concept and its importance for sharing across site, and a third video by a faculty member using VIVO data for new kinds of work (a social network application)
- Flyer. Two page 8.5" by 11" flyer. "Current" one from 2012. Will update for download from web site as PDF.
- White paper. 4-5 page academic style paper on VIVO with the names of the collaborating authors and references and screen shots. Will provide as a PDF on the web site for download.
- Partners. Need a list of partners for the web site. 9, 12 or 15.
