Samvera Marketing WG - March 23rd, 2022

Notes from the call held. Heather and Chris were present.

• Institutional profiles

  • All members of the Marketing WG are asked to complete a institutional profile for their institution ahead of the Virtual Samvera Partners Meeting, to use as examples in advocating completion of the profile to others.

  • The template can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pf9pxT-TeMFHoyKmUPlAnYzqizmvxfVwR1Pe_lvbBaM/edit. Please take a copy and send the completed form to Heather.

• Website move

  • Heather shared a charter for a Website Migration Working Group for review. This will be circulated across lists shortly.

• Sponsorship

  • Heather confirmed that Supporter level sponsorship for Code4Lib has been paid - our logo is now on the conference website (see https://2022.code4lib.org/sponsors/ )

  • Information on sponsoring Open Repositories is vague (see https://or2022.openrepositories.org/sponsorship-opportunities/ ). Heather will reach out to get additional details.

• Samvera Virtual meetings

  • Coverage of the institutional profiles and website move will be useful at the Samvera Partners Meeting (agenda to be confirmed).

• Connect 2022
