Jeremy Friesen
Research & Development Technology Engineer, University of Notre Dame's Hesburgh Libraries
I work at the University of Notre Dame's Hesburgh Libraries. I'm part of a newly formed Strategic Innovation Lab, our purpose is to "focus on the 2 to 5 year range for how the Hesburgh Libraries can position itself to meet changing campus stakeholder needs." I have also contributed to our institutional repository efforts, managed a team of developers, built organizational coalitions, and worked to foster equitable and inclusive processes.
In Samvera, I have worked in and on the software development cycle; Contributing code, documentation, reviews, design discussions, facilitating working groups, process improvements, tech calls, and more. I've also participated in and facilitated Samvera Partner meetings. I have observed the community at work at many levels, and appreciate its values of openness and inclusion.
This past year has reinforced my deeply held belief that community-oriented processes and solutions are our collective way forward. I am eager and excited to further and continue my contributions to Samvera. I will bring three key things: A current contributing software developers perspective; a passion for a community that understands inclusion and diversity requires ongoing action; and an ability to build coalitions through listening and growing shared visions.
