  • Background: Invest In Open Infrastructure Catalog of Open Infrastructure Services
    • DSpace is a "No" for "Open data statement" and “Commitment to equity and inclusion”
    • See FAQ: How are you assessing “transformative influence”? (And what counts as evidence?)
• Breakout room reporting out
• Next steps

Breakout Rooms:

Discuss and gather feedback from Leaders on 1) The DSpace project and equity and inclusion and 2) Open data and the DSpace project as a means to seed discussion and work by Steering and Leadership around DSpace project transparency and front-facing communications.

Leaders will break into 4 randomly assigned groups.

We will take 25 minutes for breakout discussions and then return for 20 minutes to report out and discuss with the whole group.

Guide for breakout discussions:

• Record group members in the notes document.
• Identify reporter to report highlights of the discussion out to the larger group.
• Each group will discuss the following topics/questions and report back to the full group:
  • What is the DSpace commitment to equity and inclusion? How is it manifested? How is it communicated? How could it be communicated? Where does the project fall short? Where are there opportunities for learning, growth, and improvement?
  • How do we think about open data and the DSpace project? At the project level, what is our commitment to open data? How can we communicate at the project level our commitment to open data?
