Notes

Partners call in early January - 

...

1. Personalization of the website - need variety of showcases for people featured to showcase how people use and participate
2. Blog - recognizing the value of a blog - need to ensure there is proper resourcing - Table blog until the staffing situation is sorted out? - General agreement
3. Quotes from users for use in publicity - reaching out to different users, positive - verbal quotes quotes; several volunteers 

Steering considered staffing challenges last week - own funds not there for positions, some cash rich - institutions may pay temporarily for a Community Manager with those funds 

    Table blog until the staffing situation is sorted out? - General agreement

Do some communication in year to come - 

Nature of marketing in community for Samvera - need input from community or not a community effort

Case studies writtenCoSector have case study written - could be adapted: theoretical case studies - make it more about Samvera technologies

Chris contacted all the sites from used as examples in Connect workshop - all institutions agreed to provide case study.  Identify a suitable template 

...

   (b) should we be looking to increase membershipPartnerships?  - longer term goal, but the immediate course of marketing effort to spread awareness and increase adoption, Partnership not a key focus of net next six months

Steering agree Samvera needs a VM or Docker of Samvera install -  being investigated

Samvera should have a Hyrax install - repo of past materials - looking to do it at Hull

what are key events?  how can we engage people?  - list of events for Fedora - relevant events in the space - table, initiate conversations, who they're connecting with and what they're connecting with

AULs, ULs - list-serves, if we want to communicate about why we should engage: the community, the engagement, the sustainability, generate or reframe - frame it in a way for the audience we want to target

RMC Roadmap Council is writing a white paper about community and technology (coming soon)

...

Karen will look at the slide deck for updates - deck needs to be ADA compliant?

Chris will work on Leafleta more professionally produced leaflet - suggestions for improving content welcome

FAQ - Steph wants to work on FAQ - Chris will look at what we've got working on at the moment
