Open discussion time/Partner updates/questions
Rob / Notch8 announcement: acquired by Scientist.com, a long time relationship with Notch8. Rob and the rest of the team is not changing. Some growth expected. Activity in Samvera is not expected to change. Scientist is preparing for an IPO, they need to raise some revenue so lean on the Notch8 dev to help them bring on other customers. There could likely be a name change for Notch8. A big development, though really not that much of a change.
Have been starting to tell their customers. No press release until January. Will let the community know via email soon. Trying to get in front of the rumor mill, which is not necessary!Anything for the Samvera Board? (Standing item)
No!Date of next call: January 14th, 2022
