Agenda

Changes to agenda
2019 Partner and Supporter Fundraising call
1. Review sample documents in Google Drive
2. Can we, effectively, repeat the thrust of the Spring letter?
3. If so, what are the Samvera Community achievements, and needs, that we should highlight?
4. Would we want to add anything about a wider fundraising call later in the year? And/or: How might we encourage these folks to contribute more. FYI: this call goes to all the Partners (not just those who actually contribute funds) and to a couple of non-Partners who regularly contribute.
Sponsorship for Samvera Connect
1. Review examples of other sponsorship schemes
2. Should Connect seek sponsors?
3. If so, brainstorm initial list of organizations that we might target
4. How would we "sell it to them". (What would they get for their money beyond "feeling good"?)
Large-scale fundraising
1. Brainstorm an initial list of people we think we might approach
2. How would we "sell it to them". (What would they get for their money beyond "feeling good"?)
  1. Does the 1% open source funding model have any leverage? https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2018/mar/9/one-percent-for-open-source/
3. How might we develop a contributory model from service providers?
Date of next meeting
1. Wednesday January 9th. 08:30PT, 11:30ET, 16:30UK
2. After 9th January set up a Doodle poll to agree future dates
