Everyone gave a very warm welcome to Heather, and there was a fun Q&A question session. Heather previously served in several roles at LYRASIS and DuraSpace including as the Outreach & Engagement Coordinator for Digital Technology Services, the DSpace 7 Release Manager, and the DuraSpace Services Coordinator.  Prior to working at DuraSpace and LYRASIS, Heather was the Member Services Coordinator at the NC LIVE consortium. She received her MLIS from Simmons College. She lives and works in Durham, North Carolina in the Eastern time zone.  Her first weeks will be focused on knowledge transfer from RG, the Interest and Working Groups, and Steering as well as communications planning and other organizational work. Heather will be reaching out to partners and others as well to hear about your experiences and thoughts. Anyone in the Community is also encouraged to reach out and set a time to chat, Heather dot Klein at Emory dot edu

Updating Samvera's Code of Conduct  - update: (slides, PDF)

Samvera is moving ahead with a review of the CoC with the assistance of a specialist organization.  This will be an explanation of the process so far and an overview of what is to come

Governance review #1:

The Governance Review Group surveyed the broad Community to see how well they thought the governance changes were progressing.  This will be a brief report back. Governance Review Group Report

Governance review #2:

What the review group did not do was to ask if the governance changes were achieving the goals that the Community had for them.  This discussion will explore this second question.

The Julie Allinson Award

It is proposed that we should remember the enormous contribution that Julie made to the Hydra/Samvera Community by creating an annual award in her name.  What should this be, and how should it be funded?
