Meeting Notes
- Introductions - all
- Nominations - Mic
There are three candidates for three officer positions:
Chair - Bryan Cooper
Vice-Chair - Brian Lowe
Treasurer - Terrie Wheeler
The three candidates shared their ideas and motivations to be elected. Bryan focused on the idea of raising funding for VIVO, possibly getting grants. The idea is to work on the VIVO-in-a-Box concept using what has been successfully developed by other institutions already.
Brian highlighted the issues many institutions are encountering when starting to work with VIVO, identifying the complexity of the configuration as one of the main entry-barriers.
Terrie was Treasurer last year and Secretary before that, she wants to continue supporting the Program because she strongly believes in it. At Weill Cornell they've been investing in VIVO development and would love to see others doing the same and commonly share and use the results for the benefit of the broader community.
An email will be sent after the meeting to ask the Leaders to vote for the candidates.
There's still a missing position that needs to be elected: Secretary.
- Technical Update - Dragan Ivanovic
The preparation of VIVO 1.15.0 release candidate is ongoing. This minor release should include
- search facets,
- improvement in role management systems,
- configuration of private individual pages,
- responsive Wilma theme,
- I forgot my password
Hopefully, the release candidate will be published in February. It will be announced and some time will be allocated for testing release candidate. Depending on the result of testing, after testing there might be additional round (preparation of the new release candidate) or publishing release.
