Notes
I. Review of VIVO governance
...
- As we think about the next version of VIVO, how do we engage the leadership group, the community at large, and the people working on various aspects of VIVO to consider priorities
- How can we create a process by which the various elements of the VIVO community have input regarding development work to be done in the future
- Those likely to contribute will want to contribute to something that will benefit them – creating value for the people donating that effort
- We have a value proposition and strategic plan. We need a road map process by which people can become involved
- Any thoughts regarding road map process would be very welcome - a huge topic, and we need all the various elements of the community to participate
- Need simple processes for participating in developing the roadmap and in contributing effort to the roadmap
- Will need a process for prioritizing work to be done
- Roadmap is Incredibly important to the sponsors - their contribution and their effort to go to things they value
- We have many proposals
- Things in JIRA
- Ideas that we hear repeatedly in email and personal conversations
- Competitive analysis of what we're lacking that others have
- These proposal are not currently formalized – how to submit, how do we review, how do we prioritize, how do we assign effort?
- Any thoughts we have over the next month or so will be incredibly valuable. We are just beginning consideration of processes for developing roadmap.
- Review/suggest processes that other projects have
- What are the principles (e.g., clear and open process that everyone knows about and how to participate, are there other principles?)
- How do we encourage participation in the process?
- How to include apps and tools that are near ready?
- There is are a great deal of outstanding apps and tools
- A task force is currently considering how to include apps and tools
- The roadmap process should include prioritizing which apps and tools might be included
...
