23 | 25 min | LYRASIS line of credit for DSpace development | Below is a draft agreement for a line of credit from Lyrasis that would guarantee available funds for paid development on DSpace 7. From the agreement: "The Lender promises to loan $100,000.00 USD to the Borrower in accordance with the agreed upon terms, and the Borrower promises to repay the total principal amount drawn to the Lender, with interest payable on the unpaid principal at the rate of LIBOR + 4% percent per annum, calculated monthly beginning on the date of first withdraw. Interest rate is LYRASIS's cost of money – One Month LIBOR+4.0%. As the rate changes due to market conditions, DSpace Leadership Chair will be notified in writing. LIBOR is the most widely used global "benchmark" or reference rate for short term interest rates” REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
DSpace Steering has discussed the proposal and came to general agreement that its terms are generous and it presents a good opportunity for ensuring development milestones for DSpace 7 are met. DSpace Steering commissioned a group to discuss how development work would be structured and how payments would be made. This group consisted of Kristi Park, Jyrki Ilva, Lieven Droogmans, Susanna Mornati, Tim Donohue, and Laurie Arp. Notes from this discussion are available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17sfJMpiDf937b-JoYswEwAPnyZK0_s7bPLfmYGgLZbg/edit?usp=sharing.
