Samvera is a robust partnership community with volunteer contributions forming most of the project work and formally sharing responsibility for its development. They set technical and Community direction; contribute to design and code; organize events; conduct training; help orient new adopters; write documentation; and advance the Community overall. While the volunteer individual partner contributions are the community's core, we have recognized that sustainability and efficiency are promoted by having dedicated , and accountable staff in the form of the Samvera Community Manager, but the community still is unable not currently able to fund a full second FTE to engage in the technology planning and coordination for the community. A lack of participants for the Hyrax tech lead role led to an experiment (currently running) to compensate a person or institution for a 25% time commitment to the project.
This working group will assess the current need for and ability to fill current and future roles in the Samvera community with equity, efficiency, and sustainability in mindto support contributions from everyone and avoid burnout.
