- Tallahassee is a tough choice for international and US travelers. There are much better locations. (Note taker: it's also hard to spell correctly)
- Would hitching VIVO to EFS preclude non-profiles type use cases? Such as Research Intelligence. No; openness at both levels.
- Would sequencing the two events, with a common day, be a good approach? Potentially good idea; requires discussion. But we also want to be sure others (such as PURE users) get exposure to VIVO topics & community. Combined meeting could be good for not splitting the audience–don't want to lose out. (Another vote for not-Tallahassee.) Note that EFS was a one time event; VIVO has been meeting for 10 years. Is VIVO losing momentum? Can a co-located conference generate more revenue for VIVO? (Probably not.) What about Europe? Christian thinks not worth going to the US for such an event. Research intelligence might be a good hook, but expert finding is for mktg depts with less $. Federico says expert finders are an interesting use case, but maybe not worth going to the US for. This is really important discussion for LG to be having. EFS forum had a lot of energy, but Elsevier may have been providing both fiscal sponsorship and some organizational support. Who would be fiscal sponsor (legally sign for expenses) for the conference? Interest in this not being Eslevier. Would Columbia be an option? North East would be great. Violeta already organizing another event in 2020 though.
Lyrasis Objectives
Comments on http://bit.ly/2JwazKi:
- Some objectives seem less concrete (how would "identifying mutual benefit" .
- Hosted VIVO seems provocative.
- LYR should be an asset on mktg more than DuraSpace
- Governance & autonomy is key; this is well put.
- Tapping into LYR markets & communication channels is a big opportunity for VIVO
- Governance should happen quickly
- Support should happen quickly
- Growth needs to be the focus.
