Notes

1-We oriented Julia to our work and our spreadsheet. This is the first time she's joined our meetings.

2-Ann noted her recent visit with Tec Monterrey in Mexico, where she met with the two staff working on VIVO. Mich noted that there is a large DSpace community in Mexico, and they recently had a webinar with 80 attendees, hosted by Tec Monterrey. See action item below. 

3- Social media- Julia noted that the communication interest group is planning to have more activity on Twitter and LinkedIn, and possibly either Facebook or Instagram.  Ann suggested creating a weekly calendar of global VIVO sites to feature on social media.  These would be simple posts of the link and the institution name, with maybe a fun fact about their VIVO.  Someone would need to own each one and reach out beforehand to inform them we are doing this.  This is a good way to start a conversation if there isn't an active relationship. The goal is to promote the VIVO sites that are not well known and encourage others from that local country (or beyond) to get interested.  Julia also noted the communications group is reviving the VIVO stories interviews as another promotional tool. There is one underway at Univ Colorado Boulder.

4- Mic recently organized a European VIVO members call. These are the members:  Sigma, CINECA, TIB, DTU.  Notes will be shared with the rest of the group. DTU and TIB want to present in webinars.  They want to be part of development, but the call is too late for them. They will continue to meet.  He wants to do similar things in LATAM, but it will be focused on users since there is only one member. 

5-VIVO webinar series- Ann was going to coordinate the next one, but has passed this on to Mic since we wanted to feature DTU and TIB, and he has already discussed this topic with them. 

Action Items
