2023-10-04 Outreach & Engagement notes

Contentful and website planning updates

• We were given a pro bono Contentful account! In exchange they would like to know about any interesting integrations or uses, and might do a case study.

• Adam will discuss our existing plans

• We can use these for the Hyrax and Hyku subdomain reorganizations as well

• Anyone can have a content manager login, and there is excellent documentation Contentful Learning Center : Contentful Learning Center

• Heather will start a document to outline the content strategy and share with Adam, so we can replicate this for the project subdomain sites

Twitter/X alternatives

• Heather still feeling out what other communities are thinking about/using

Any volunteers to give a 5 minute update at Connect?

Upcoming press releases:

• Hyrax 5 when released

• British Library as new Partner - right after Connect

• New Board members and Chair - after election (1st week in December?)

Making the case for supporting Open Source: how to break down the process to create this as a page on our website? Could first step be all of us gathering existing resources? Can we ask how this is being pitched now, and what is getting through? Who are their trusted sources? Showing that there is not one solution for all problems, need to be able to talk to other systems.
