- Help to plan out a broader DSpace Governance Model.
- Community leadership
- Would like a chair from the community to help lead this particular group.
- Role: Lead and organize meetings. Possible "spokesperson"
- This is a community initiative and would really like this role to be filled by a community member. DuraSpace will still provide support as neede
- Nominate yourself or someone else (via email) by the end of the week
- Planning for OR13
- DuraSpace has a Plenary to begin the User Group Sessions
- DSpace RoadMap & Vision has essentially one full hour (two 1/2 hour sessions). Thurs (July 11) afternoon at OR13.
- 3-3:30pm : DSpace Roadmap & 3-5 Year Vision
- First 15 mins: Tim's Roadmap overview (recent & upcoming releases, what's happened in the last year)
- Second 15 mins: Introduce the draft vision? (perhaps others involved in presenting the vision?)
- 3:45-4:15pm : DSpace Roadmap & 3-5 Year Vision Discussion
- Get community feedback through this part of session
- Could be organized as a panel or similar?
- 3-3:30pm : DSpace Roadmap & 3-5 Year Vision
- General Discussion (OR13 related and otherwise)
- How to manage participation & folks wanting to help. Adding members to the this group based on interest at OR13.
- At OR13, get feedback on what is described. What aspects are really compelling in the vision.
- Tito: Would be nice to formalize this group in advance of OR13. Formalizing the charter is necessary & formalizing the "rules of engagement".
- e.g. How can others connect to this discussion. How big is the group? Is it a regular conference call? Is it a regular face-to-face meeting?
- Good to try and formalize the charter BEFORE OR13
- Richard: Transparency very important. Process needs to be community-driven from the start. All the products need to be available & transparent & open for comment.
- Sarah S: Have us all promote this work through our own social networks. Help push it out the message via twitter and elsewhere. Want to reach broad audience
- Tito: Focus discussion/feedback on the single Vision Document on a specific URL. Needs more visibility & further refining. Focus on one document (and perhaps have a hashtag: #dspacevision). Focus on getting this document to where it needs to be. Goal is a vetted document.
- Amy: Around facilitating community discussion. Also provide an email address to communicate ("dspacevision@duraspace.org" or something similar). Hashtag also good. but other avenues are helpful. Jonathan agrees.
- Maureen: wants to see us work on charter for this group, better define ourselves before OR13. Jonathan to work with Maureen & Tito & Sarah S on this in coming weeks.
- Stuart: often we don't spend much time to sit back and reflect on the impact DSpace has had worldwide.
- At OR13, Start with impact of what DSpace has had. It has had enourmous impact worldwide. Quotes / videos from people (if possible)?
- Would help ground the discussion: Why do we need a vision? Why do we want to keep going with DSpace
- DSpace governance planning
- Discussions will take place post-OR13. Didn't get to this during the call.
Action Items
- All: Nominations for a Chair for this Vision Group before Friday. Lead meetings & work with DuraSpace to organize effort.
- All: Email us if you are interested in being part of presentation/panel at OR13
- Tim will send out slides/video for OAI8 DSpace User Group (took place on June 18). These slides cover much of the basics of the DSpace 2013 Vision Document
- Jonathan & others: Drafting charter for Vision group.
- Jonathan to try and setup a meeting/discussion with he, Maureen, Sarah S. & Tito.
- Also work on draft with Tim & Val
