Membership and community engagement interest group

- Membership renewal invoices have been sent out. We are monitoring responses, reporting back to the group with any changes, reaching out to members who wish to cancel or downgrade.
- Some cancellations and downgrades are likely due to COVID-19 related budget cuts so we are discussing possible budget mitigation scenarios.
- We are setting up a membership outreach webinar to meet with members, provide updates, and pitch for membership renewals.
VIVO Scholar task force
- The VSTF is planning to release a beta version of VIVO Scholar during the first week in June. The VIVO Scholar beta is a minimally-viable version that the VSTF is making available for the community to explore. New functionality will be added by the VIVO Scholar Task Force in the coming months.
- VIVO Scholar is an optional add-on to your existing VIVO stack. VIVO Scholar does not replace the current VIVO stack; it’s a lightweight, responsive, customizable display with enhanced search features.
- VIVO Scholar requires a VIVO implementation and Scholars Discovery, the middleware that consumes VIVO data and makes it available for display in a front-end and in API endpoints.
- The VIVO Scholar Task Force invites the community to download VIVO Scholar and try loading the test data set. We are looking for contributors to help us add functionality and improve VIVO Scholar to create a final version.
