Purpose and notes
: We'd like to open up the conversation about outreach with the community and offer help when needed. Mike thinks that this group could talk more about community-building and related issues and provide that feedback to Steering. There may be specific issues that we can tackle, for example, issues related to the conference, are there things that we could do about certain things. Kristi talked about environments, organizations and companies who are representing people data, which is rather complex. These organizations may need help learning about VIVO, and need VIVO evangelists.
Mike reminds us that we need to talk about partners and parterships partnerships with other related organizations, which is important to the project. Kristi's current research dovetails very nicely with VIVO and partners nicely, but it's nice to have different perspectives.
...
Partners such as Altmetrics, Plum, Pure, thomson Thomson Reuters/Converis etc. are synergistic with VIVO and we need to make sure that all of our partners are productive partnerships. We need to make sure that these ties really benefit VIVO and help to strengthen our partners.
...
"VIVO around the world" will be a 45-minute session to get one slide, like a screenshot of the home page, and presenting for five minutes about their VIVO. To show the diversity in what we're doing and put a strong finish to the conference. We need to engage people on the list.
Next call: August 18 at 1:00 PM Eastern
