A: prospecting is important, but do have a need to shore up current membership. If anyone has leads on membership, we want to do some outreach, taking care of renewals first. David will share a list of prospects.
3. ITAV Fedora Summary and Next Steps
Laurie Arp presenting on ITAV (It Takes a Village). Phase 1 built a framework for assessing sustainability, Phase 2 will allow for development of toolkit. LYRASIS/DURASPACE merger allowed for review of all community-supported open source projects brought in. Ranking governance, technology, community engagement. Fedora is in a mature state - some parts are in the Phase 2 critical phase, particularly with the technology. Fedora is pretty clear that we are in a technology phase - which will help with long-term sustainability. Happy to continue to work with Fedora on thinking about next steps. One option is an in-person meeting with the team. Any specific way that they can help with sustainability they can be available for that.
Q: If we could come together for a workshop - would it be generalized review of the assessment, or focused on particular moving forward objectives.
A: can customize. With Fulcrum, the identified key areas for their in-person meeting.
Q: Interested in finding out more about the Resource - revenue streams, particularly in light of our membership renewals. Fedora has competition, which makes the membership issues a bit messier. If we could focus on this area, that would be helpful.
A: Membership fatigue - always good to be more diverse. Particularly with dependencies from other communities - creative ways to work together that we can discuss further.
Q: Jennifer - question about the CNI spring meeting
A: David - if we can get a critical mass (currently have 6, could use a few more yes responses) we can get a meeting together.
Some of the points in the ITAV report would be helpful in the script for the membership drive.
