Agenda and notes

    3. Roadmaps Alignment Group (regular status check item) ---

      1. Discussed the distinction between future looking and backwards looking information and planning based on Partner features work.

      2. The Group has potential to contribute more coordination between Hyrax/Hyku/Avalon.

      3. Code reclamation is also on the agenda for this group.

      4. What’s adoption like of Hyrax outside of partners? Who is adopting and not contributing code? What value does Hyrax have beyond the partners?

      5. For partners who aren’t driving development, what contributions could they make? Roadmapping can help with that but there is a lot of communication and outreach to feel welcome that goes along with that.

      6. Can the group distill their collected information for Partners and share it? Allow a chance to identify additional opportunities for collaboration. Heather will ask the group to present at a partner meeting and distill what they have learned.

    4. Invoicing for Partners

      2. Quarterly financial reports received from LYRASIS; will share with fundraising and finance committee

    6. Developer Support & Engagement update – document for collecting input on barriers to contribution

      1. This group will give a distillation and bring potential solutions

      2. A sense from small developer teams not understanding how to contribute or if contribution outside the sprint is even wanted or a good idea. Can plan to address this with the WG work.

      3. How to fill the need for training? Training is a huge ask no matter what. Is there a way of figuring out how to pay for that? Will get input from this group.

      4. Do we have a way to monitor who is new in the dev community? Who needs the training? Some sort of regular message – are you new and looking for training?

        1. Will send an interest form for the summer newcomer dev congress after the May dev congress

      5. Samvera carpentry – a way for recent newcomers to teach. Look at that option and what resources it would take, what have other communities done?

        1. Alicia will ask staff about carpentries.

    7. SEO for wiki

      1. The only way to increase visibility for a public cloud-hosted Confluence is time. Old wiki likely still getting Google priority.
