Report on progress towards permanent appointmentsJon Dunn

A subcommittee of the Steering Group has prepared a job description for the Community Manager role drawing on examples from a number of sources.  Partners need to decide when and how to take the process forward taking into account Samvera's financial position. 

A parallel job description for a Technical Manager has been prepared but this is less well developed - the subcommittee seeks greater clarity from our Partners, technical WGs and teams about the scope envisaged for this job; how does the incumbent's work integrate with existing groups' and where do the various levels of technical decision making sit?

Future Partner CallHow do we increase numbers at Connect?Brian McBride & Richard GreenAttendance at Connect is in a downward trend.  Understandable, because people and institutions are generally more experienced with Samvera and don't send so many people to 'on-board'.  But smaller conferences will mean higher registration fees etc...
