Bookclub Kick-off
You will also be interested to know that Drs. Jim Hendler and Dean Allemang, coauthors of the book, have agreed to help kick off the book club with an open teleconference on January 26th @10am ET.
In preparation for this kick-off session, please begin collecting questions and topics that would be instructive as we begin this exploration:
Chapter Summaries
We would like to have a rolling google-document that will act as both a resource for keeping up with a summary of the book's content and relevant tools/resources as well as a record of our community's interpretation of the book. Each discussion session should establish one or more scribes to contribute notes to this document:
Mailing List
We have created a new google-group mailing list for on-going discussion related to the book to supplement the discussion group calls. Although the occasional update email will continue to be sent to the fedora-community mailing list, most of this book club's communications should take place on the duraspace-bookclub list:
Planning Meetings
In the latter part of every month, we will hold an open "book club planning" meeting to review the current processes and discuss course adjustments. Call-in details below All are welcome!
