2020-09-02 DSpace Marketing Working Group Agenda/Notes

Proposal to change from a Working Group to an Interest Group

• DSpace Working Groups are teams which are created to achieve a specific set of deliverables. 

• DSpace Interest Groups are teams which form around a common interest. They are essentially discussion groups where individual meet to discuss common goals, use cases or ideas. Interest Groups tend to have the following properties:

  • Often they are ongoing, with no definitive start or end date. The interest group exists for as long as the common goal is relevant.
  • Often they have no definitive deliverables or output (other than meeting notes or recommendations to Project Teams or Working Groups)
  • They may establish Working Groups or pass off ideas to existing Working Groups (to achieve specific deliverables)
• A DSpace Marketing Interest Group (DMIG) is currently listed on the wiki

Strategy for the Group going forward

• Meeting schedule 
• One option:
  • 1x per month for strategy around DSpace marketing (all audiences)
