Code of Conduct

We want Samvera Community to be a fun, informative, engaging event for all our partners and participants. We've got a few strategies to help make this happen:

1. 1. We encourage everyone to apply the Samvera community principles of openness, inquiry, and respect in their interactions at the event.

   2. We have officially adopted an Anti-Harassment Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to community helpers .

Agenda

Samvera Connect reminders

Samvera Connect brief progress update

Partner meeting at Connect (Carolyn Caizzi , 5 minutes)

Minutes: 

• Samvera Connect reminders and brief progress update
  
  • Andrew: Reminders have gone out on Slack
    • Please register if you haven't (current registration: about 113, close to that in workshop signups)
    • Program up for a while, schedule coming soon (confirming that presenters will be registered and present)
      
• Partner meeting at Connect
  • Carolyn: Ben and I are co-chairing
    • Please add your name to the partner meeting agenda, we would like to have an accurate head-count
    • The agenda is fleshed out for the whole day, starting at 8:30am (coffee and snacks provided)
    • There will be a remote connection option (tested recently, and it sounded OK)
• Carolyn: Question: Heard the Working Group for Hyrax was being slowed down by free version of Travis, and potentially looking about using a different tool or paid version, should that request go to Steering?
  
  • John: I'm new to steering, but I think so, who will I get details from?
  • Carolyn: Will write up a request with more info and send to Steering
  • Dan: We also had problems with Travis, and a paid version didn't help — refactoring the test suite was a more effective approach
  • Will: Dan Pierce is working on that, and looking at CircleCI too, may resolve the issue
• Andrew: Gotten question from my institution about what partner financial contributions would go towards, would like a resource to point people to
  
  • John: The Governance WG report and recommendations include that info, can send links to more detailed info — but maybe other people could use that info too?
  • Carolyn: Contribution Model WG will present at the partners meeting, and Richard will do an update about fundraising (related to eventually hiring staff), but specifics always welcome
  • Andrew: Will wait for partners meeting discussion, and bring info back to my institution
    

November (assuming October is happening at Samvera Connect and we have facilitators for that:

• Facilitator: Simeon Warner
