Kristi gave an update on the fundraising efforts. DSpace was one of the funding target targets for the third SCOSS funding round. So far there have been pledges for a total of $174.000 over three years, which is significantly less than was expected. Natalie Baur has been hired to a part-time position with this money. Kristi is still working with SCOSS, but as the fourth SCOSS funding round has already started, some of the attention is likely to move to other projects. Part of our focus has now moved to trying to encourage the new members that joined to continue their membership after the three-year period.

Beate announced in the chat the Hamburg University of Technology has been awarded a Technical Integration Grant from the ORCID Global Participation Fund. This will be used to improve the ORCID login process in DSpace-CRIS, which may benefit all of the DSpace community. 4Science will be the developer. Susanna considered this a good example of getting outside funding for specific development tasks.

Maureen mentioned that Andrea Bollini from 4Science was going to be presenting the DSpace 7 ORCID integration in the February DCAT meeting. Everyone is welcome to join DCAT meetings, which are held on the second Tuesday of each month. Among other things, DCAT has been supplementing the user-facing documentation of DSpace. DCAT is looking for nominations for a new chair. There could be two people serving as chairs as well.

Kristi supported this idea, although she has been thinking more about virtual events. These could be a bit less about technology, with more emphasis on what the community is doing and how DSpace is being used in different organizations. There should be a small working group for coordinating things. It was decided that a group consisting of Kristi, Natalie, Isabel, Michele and Susan Susanna will start planning for community events.

Beate mentioned that DSpace Praxistreffen will be organized in person in March for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
There was some discussion on whether there should be a mechanism for donating smaller amounts of money to DSpace. There was some talk whether it might be possible to have a voluntary participation fee for DSpace events. However, this didn’t receive support from the Leadership members as it was argued that this might lead to communication problems.
