Meeting Times & Communication Channels
Note that following current best practices within Samvera, interest and working groups should use an existing communication channel unless and until it becomes clear that a dedicated channel is needed. This section should specify which existing channel(s) will be used: e.g., samvera-tech, samvera-partners, samvera-community@googlegroups.com. When using a shared channel, individual working groups should start the subject line with their name in []s, such as [archives] for the Archives Working Group. If and when a dedicated channel is needed, the new channel should be well publicized and open to any interested subscribers/participants in the communityThis Group will aim to create deliverables through assignment of asynchronous work using collaborative tools. Proposed meeting commitment is 1 kick-off meeting in February 2021, 2x per month from March - August 2021, and one meeting in September 2021.
Until discussion warrants dedicated channels, the samvera-tech mailing list and a dedicated Slack channel can be used for this discussion and coordinating meetings.
Members
Note that Working Groups must have participants from three different Partners. All members of a working group producing software must be licensed Samvera contributors covered by the appropriate CLAs. Other types of contributions such as requirements, design, best practices, documentation, etc. - do not require CLAs but participants should accept that the materials to which they contribute may be released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License..
