Agenda & Notes
Any other items for the agenda?
No other agenda items were raised.Discussion: Robin Lindley Ruggaber will give her presentation from Open Repositories 2024, “Appalachian Research and Value for the Greater Good” and lead a discussion about supporting under-resourced regional institutions and similar partnerships.
Excellent presentation from Robin! Useful insight to appreciate the relationship between a parent university and satellite campuses and how they might support each other.
Would like to tell the UVA, PALNI and British Library stories (the latter two using Hyku) of a hub and what it can do to support related organizations without infrastructure directly on Samvera channels. UVA story would be excellent as a video story.
Would like to reach Deans with these stories to highlight how libraries can support wider mission of the institutions. Also to showcase, and leverage, use of open source in achieving that mission.
Robin is interested in hearing from anyone who has had grant opportunities for similar projects. Suggestions for Mellon and Arcadia.
Regional Meetings - updates and planning needs
CFP soon (hopefully within next 7-10 days) - a small program committee has been formed and is working on this
Registration opening soon
Hotel and travel info posted
PALNI and IU are funding it
Because of hotel availability, we're making some changes to the schedule, with DevOps4Lib being at the same time as the Samvera Northeast Regional meeting (10/14-10/15), and the Blacklight Summit moving to Wednesday, 10/16
The Samvera Northeast Regional Meeting dates are unchanged (10/14-10/15)
West Coast Oct 9-10
Registration launching soon. The program will be driven by those who are attending, so as to best focus it on their interests.
Europe - Oxford and British Library have expressed interest in working together to host something at Oxford in the fall.
Ensuring cross-meeting representation
Hyrax Group would like an opportunity to interact with community on roadmap items, not enough people attend the calls to make that the best forum for broader feedback
Would be good to have a presence at all the Regional meetings in the fall.
Regional Ambassadors: Are there enough regions represented in the Hyrax WG and Maintenance calls to have someone from each local area attend one of the regional meetings as an ambassador?
the week of October 21st (International Open Access Week)
No fall Partner in-person meeting - could have a virtual Partner meeting after the regional meetings, or devote November 8th or December 13th meeting to discussion of regional meeting outcomes and next steps. Thoughts welcome.
A Spring 2025 hybrid Partner meeting at Northwestern is being considered
Other Updates:
Sign up to present or facilitate a topic (5 - 30 minutes) at a future Partner call
Potential ideas of interest include research data and the challenge of campus v library IT)
Nominations open for the Julie Allinson Award 2024.
The aim is to complete the process by September 1st so the Award can be given out at a regional meeting.
