New task forces forming Text of story 1
VIVO Technical Specs. VIVO has a new technical specifications document. The two-sided PDF handout summarizes VIVO from a technical point of view – what it consists of, what is required to run it, what does it do. We hope the document will be useful in discussions regarding the suitability of VIVO as software at your institution. You can find the technical specs on the VIVO web site, and links to the specs in the VIVO wiki on the homepage.

Community input for VIVO 1.10. The Outreach and Engagement Interest Group will have a call this Thursday to discuss VIVO 1.10 Release Planning. We are often asked "how does the VIVO project decide what will be in future versions of the software?" As a member supported, open source, community developed software project, we have a governance process by which decisions are made. The community expresses its interests through the interest groups and via the email lists, the governance groups approve directions, various supporters commit to participating in various development activities, the committers group approves changes to the software. The process is described in the VIVO Roadmap Process. You can always find the VIVO Roadmap Process in the upper left hand corner of the VIVO wiki, along with the VIVO Project Charter v 1.1 and VIVO Strategic Plan 2015-2016. The strategic plan will soon be updated. Expect to see more about that in the weeks ahead.
Please join us this Thursday at 1 PM eastern via Webex to participate in community input to VIVO 1.10 Release Planning.
Go VIVO!
