Minutes:
Did everyone finish writing by the end of last week? Still work to be done, comments left on the document.
Scope? Is this
Jen: Is this better coming from the marketing folks? We're describing the community right now, but now how we fit into the community.
Julie: I feel that this should come out as something written by us, as a professional state of the community and software paper. But we do need something about the roadmap council in it. Something is perhaps missing. You should be able to send this to a senior person to inform about Samvera.
Rob: Marketing copy and sites and blog posts etc. are important, but the idea of the roadmap council looking back, and saying where we're at and where we're going, is important. We should tie how the roadmap council is part of this future at the end, maybe the conclusion. This paper as a declaration of the community. I've heard customers talking about possible turmoil in the community, which makes people nervous. Looking at Samvera as a community, we should be giving something that makes people feel better about the direction of the community. Marketing pitches come from so many places that people a numb to it, but it's different coming from a group like this. Talking about what's upcoming and exciting has value, to the community and to those outside.
Nabeela: I feel like this is 90% done. In the community it's good to collaborate with other groups—that's the spirit of the community too. In a way it seems like we're trying to summarize the community, which is hard. It's our white paper, but the marketing group could take this and run with it.
Julie: The point of if we're doing too much—if we're trying to scope it to the stack, we could reduce a bit of the text about community.
Nabeela: I'm thinking more about what the mission and future of this group is.
Jen: What's our actual goal? I think we need to figure that out a bit. It's not clear to me. How are we coordinating things, what the goal is and how we're supposed to do that work.
Julie: One possibility is—we've got the stuff about the scope of the group. How about a standard agenda? Should we have a slightly more formal structure? This is a valuable group, but not sure exactly what we're going to do. We want to get the white paper finished and have a meeting where we chart out a roadmap for our council's goals for the year. Be transparent about what we're doing.
Next Meeting; TBD
