Agenda/Notes
- Brochure Drafts - review
- Like the idea of a front and back - front high level with some screenshot examples, back break downs concepts with more details.
- Concept of middleware is important to have there, but need to clarify what middleware is - multiple audiences who want to see that word or need to see how Fedora is connected to the repository ecosystem.
- Jennifer will make a few updates and then we'll share it with David to see if this is on the right track/get feedback.
- Question about branding LYRASIS and contact information, include link to membership since we want to grow membership.
- Question about the link - still is linking to duraspace site
- "raise all boats, stabilize, and sustain" - concept that Fedora has been around a long time - looking to reduce the churn, not change all the time,
- User Group meetings - feedback
- Nice to see fresh perspectives by having the regional user groups combined
- Hope can still do at least once a year an online version of user group meetings
- High-energy, good content sharing, went by quickly. People seemed to engage with it.
- Conversation about exhibitions - interesting and hadn't thought about it in the context of Fedora.
- European one in two weeks time - largely German presentation. Many of us in North America are interested in participating in the European one.
- David posted the Youtube videos of the recordings - attendance about 40 people each day.
- Promoting these to the broader public - create a blog post
- Blog posts
- Robin will work on the user group meetings blog post.
- It was fairly straightforward to post the COVID 19 blog post.
- Capture ideas and can add more posts as we think of them
- Topic for a future meeting to think about - how to communicate reduced member fees and impact on Fedora's work
- Need to get message out about why participation is a good thing.
- Can institutions give time rather than money? Not just development staff?
