Notes
Communication Plan
- We need to give an update to the community on the progress of the merger discussion and the work of the planning groups
- Will draft a communique after OR2025 to be sent out after OR2025 via the Google Community Group
- We can use other communication channels, such as the newsletter, the news section of the website, Holger's coffee hour
- Communication needs to be high level and needs to stress that this is still an investigation; nothing has been decided yet
- Sharing merger updates at OR2025
- People will likely aske questions about the merger at the upcoming OR2025 conference
- Maureen will briefly touch on the merger during the Showdown presentation
- Tim and Holger have included slides in their presentations that give updates on the merger
- Holger will create a form that people can fill out during OR2025 and after if they have questions about the merger; OR2025 attendees were encouraged to point to this form if asked about the merger; presenters will include this form in their presentations
- Briefly discussed ways to get feedback from the community
- Do we want to make a survey to gather input from the community regarding uses and use cases of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS?
- As an example, institutions that do not use entities may be intimidated by enabling them by default
- What are the consequences (for the community, for users, from the user perspective) of a merged DSpace and DSpace-CRIS?
