Notes:
AI: Go back to the notes from Partners and see if there's anything we need to pick up
AI: Ryan look for container for leaflets from 4Imprint
Review of VC and Partners -
Marketing WG wanted to be involved in synthesis of the Vision (Chris asked for Marketing to be involved)
Sub-group to take away visioning material/ exercise and meld something from it
AI: Find out when Carolyn and Hannah will be done (Ryan will ask Carolyn)
Seem to feel Samvera is not a product and not treated as such - people trying to get Samvera into institutions are trying to get a technology in
Community is a key strength of Samvera - but you get into Samvera for a solution. "What is the product?" It's not the community
Treat what we're doing as a product - expect responses and services around the technology, somewhere in the community those things are being provided
From a Marketing Point of View: alternative view - marketing what they perceive Samvera to be? -
To go back to the synthesis - would like to keep an eye on what is being said so we don't lose sight of the product responsibility to users
Update on current work
Slide Deck: Where should it go on Wiki or website? Front page - "templates, slides and articles"
Robin will do an accessibility audit on the PPT template
Case Studies
- Stanford is really a Blacklight - may not do study
- Avalon case study
- Emory via Rosalyn Metz
- working toward King's Fund (Julie working on it), Chrissy Rissmeyer offered - UCSB (Alexandria)
Personal Profiles - update and rotate through every few months
Website: Suggested we restructure website by user/ audience. ex: managers/ librarians/developer & sys admin
who are our audiences? a suggestion, but not a plan (yet)
will require a lot of planning, discussion
maybe develop a specific page for specific audiences -
practicalities to how we structure site vis-a-vis reactive site
In relation to applications and demos - some tidying up around Applications and Demo's page - out of date
Degree to which any view re: when and how you jump people off the website and into the Wiki
DOn't reduplicate the work on the website - if it's on the wiki
Suggestion on website - longer term goal - test navigation through website -
in near future: clean-up "applications and demos" - consistency across the website
Richard: will make a suggestion at next call -but doesn't adequately mention Solution Bundles. May be part of the review.
brief proposal by next meeting
Nabeela: Events diary - it has some IG/WG meetings - get them all listed here. For Repo managers - what are the times for other IG/WG's? Only helpful if kept up to date. Others can update it themselves - but don't. They do it on the Wiki, but not on website.
Have a link from the Wiki that requires a Wiki log-in.
