Alignment / Decisions from previous meetings
- We need a plan with actions, goals and associated target dates, aimed at marketing for DSpace 7
- Popular use cases, and how DSpace 7 improves on them, are powerful in marketing
- Facts that the SG endorses, are powerful in marketing
- We need a more general approach for DSpace Marketing on the longer term. The group did not reach agreement on whether this can be open ended, or whether this can have a finite timeline

Discuss and assign goal owners for each of the five identified goals | Bram Luyten (Atmire) | Bram Luyten (Atmire) was mainly working on the translator campaign, part of goal 1. The new format for translations is almost done, but will likely only be merged shortly AFTER the preview release: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/366 Work on the two other Goal 1 campaigns: the API campaign and the Tester campaign TODO. Who wants to own (one of) the other goals? Goal 2: Identify and promote endorsing institutions Goal 3: Early majority: get existing DSpace installations to upgrade Goal 4: Get non-DSpace users to adopt DSpace 7 / Grow DSpace installation base Goal 5: Get the late majority and laggard DSpace institutions to upgrade to DSpace 7 |

Goal owners: try to find people outside of this group if we don't have anyone in here at the moment?
