Agenda:
- Checkins
- Reviewing Leadership Team exercises
- Tim shared document summarizing notes from Leadership team exercises
- We often talk to the same people. Who is missing that we should talk to?
- Who else outside usual communities, and usual staff at institutions
- How do we reach out?
- Next steps:
- Use the three questions and set up meetings on the calendar:
- Going well?
- Challenges/Concerns?
- Hoping to tackle 1-2 years?
- Use the Fedora webinar to engage people
- Invite people to meet, ask them to bring a colleague
- Goal of the engagement: where is the hunger for Fedora down the road?
- Use the three questions and set up meetings on the calendar:
- Thoughts/discussion
- Like the idea of bringing existing users as well as skeptics
- Would want to know in advance who is coming so message and folks there to facilitate can address the types of questions that will come up
- Important to engage middle management layer
- Talking points
- Open Access - as a value
- Tim's Toaster analogy - you need something complex enough to model all of the records, not just a basic toaster.
- Can we engage key faculty/researchers to advocate for Fedora?
- Various stakeholders in our institutions - a key group, they are hard to get to understand/see use of Fedora
- Government orgs - records managers also important, values of open source, stability important
- Logistics
- Communication to leaders about helping facilitate meetings in September/October - 1 for UK, 1 for North America
- Can share results at the next Quarterly leadership team and then ask for more volunteers for next one.
- Give questions to participants ahead of time.
- Cap attendance at 10 or less, or maybe 3 institutions per call?
- Put out an 'all call' and see if we get bites. If we get a ton of responses, we chunk the attendees per area (ex: govt' agencies, liberal arts)
- What is the ask - "Future of Fedora" sessions - share about your organization to help with laying groundwork for development work. "Repository support group" - a chance to connect with others using Fedora or interested, a chance to build community.
