Notes

Exercise 1: Jamboard Exercise Notes - https://drive.google.com/file/d/199n0OvdLLueZD_pFni8qKY-bXArSewGP/view?usp=sharing

Group 1

Question 1: What communities/groups of people that use Fedora

  • Media Groups. How do they manage their digital content?
    • This is a potentially untapped market and we don’t really know what these people are doing with their stuff?

Question 2: Missing Voices

  • Engaging non-technical voices can feel difficult at times because of the nature of what we do/make
    • Discussions do end up being mostly technical in nature
  • Going back to previous list things like Media group, we don’t know who those people are either
  • Researchers, faculty and grad students
    • Interesting to put them on the list of missed voices because we often just assume they’re not interetsed

Question 3: What outlets can we use to connect?

  • Looking at ways to get in to other people’s spaces instead of expecting them to come to us
    • They may not be aware of why they need to be coming to us
  • Survey fatigue 


Group 2

Question 1: What communities/groups of people that use Fedora

  • Question to consider: If Fedora went away tomorrow, who would notice?

Question 2: Missing Voices

  • Lack of understanding from those who don’t work directly from it so trying to make it understandable to them is challenging
  • People understand physical objects (ie. a building) and they don’t understand software 
  • Pandemic has potentially opened people’s eyes to the need to for things to go online
  • Campus and library leadership is sometimes a hard sell on understanding because they don’t understand the need for what we do

Potential Areas
Affordances of large and federal datasets may be different - do we need to keep everything forever
Keeping things releasable and in the cloud


Discussion at the end on several people wanting to get members from Islandora and Samvera community together for a discussion, not technical, in nature.
