  • Michel Heon and Jose Ortiz (in CC) should be in the call for some technical questions, if there is any after our presentation. Michel and Jose were selected to work on the implementation in the first phase of the project, and I believe made a nice job.
  • Strategy around developing improved interoperability with DSpace
  • Seeking project-based funding – good idea?

Parking Lot: Discussion of group Licenses for the VIVO products (Dragan, Christian, 5-10 mins). 
At the moment copyright owner is the Cornell University, we should discuss whether it is possible to change that, i.e. to define that the VIVO group is copyright owner. We will report on actions in this direction.
