Agenda

1. Review membership changes since last meeting
2. Review new VIVO registered sites since last meeting
3. Conference follow-up
   1. Which presenters and attendees should we follow-up with?
   2. What is our strategy for engagement over the next few months?
4. Outreach and marketing
   1. Can we produce a simple introductory video for VIVO to share with potential adopters in lieu of a live demo?
5. Recommended changes to VIVO Leadership elections
   1. What changes would this group recommend?

Notes

New Sites

1. What should our approach be when a new site is registered?
2. Put together a welcome package?
3. Reach out regarding user groups

Online User Group Meeting

1. Fedora held a successful online event of this kind
2. Lower bar than a conference - less focused on topics than sharing best practices and local projects
3. Regional events help bring users together
   1. VIVO has a strong presence in North America, Latin America, and Europe
   2. Language-specific groups vs. large regions
4. We'll need some time to organize the event and build awareness of the user groups
   1. January might be a good month to target
   2. Talk to coordinators, establish user groups in September-October

Action Items
