Agenda & Notes
Any other items for the agenda?
Spring Partner Meeting agenda review
RSVP open - please RSVP by 2/24
Trying to get a head count for people who are attending in person (2 people per institution should be fine)
Also fine sign up for virtual participation
Preliminary agenda review and discussion
Rosy and Jeremy have been working on the agenda, which includes updates, community technology reimbursement model, 2023 goals, list of dreams, and how to encourage more code contributions.
Agenda is still developing — feel free to add new items, but please include a goal of the discussion to make the conversation productive.
Proposed Working and Interest Groups in need of members
Cloud Deployment WG – needs a facilitator; Heather will support logistics
Developing a reference architecture for deployment in AWS, want to engage with this so they don’t do it without us
How is this related to work to host Nurax with community resources?
Maybe existing model from SoftServ should inform this?
We should make sure that Nurax continues to serve as a model for the intended audience, not overcomplicating things and paying attention to Fedora deployment patterns.
Different partners have done different things (and some partners have even done different things with separate apps)
The complexity here is a good reason to have Nurax work narrowly focused on getting that done soon, and this WG can take longer to reach consensus
Multiple AWS reps have been contacting different people
OAI Working Group forming via Metadata Interest Group - more information coming soon.
Working group to explore community leadership sustainability (@Kirsten Leonard )
Want to look at what we’re asking of contributors and leaders in the community, what is centrally-funded, what is sustainable
Lots of communities are grappling with this
End User Documentation Working Group (@Jessica Hilt )
There’s a Slack channel (
#end-user-docs
) and Jessica will be sending out an email asking for volunteersWant to make something easy for people to customize locally
Full list of proposed groups now in their own section on the wiki; watch for calls for participation on the community list Interest Group (IG) and Working Group (WG) Hub | Proposed Working Group Charters
Other Updates:

Jessica volunteered
Samvera breakout session at Code4Lib - more information soon
Sign up for a demo starting with April Partner call
The schedule is open for demos, feel free to show work-in-progress
Feel free to drop ideas in that form
Still looking for a PO for questioning_authority
Lots of folks have stepped up to take on gems without POs, but questioning_authority still needs one
Samvera Virtual Connect 2023 Planning Committee – first meeting Monday 3-4pm ET
Good group forming, but room for a couple more people if you’re interested
Expect a call out soon
