Upcoming press releases

Hyrax 5 when released
British Library as new Partner - waiting on their signed agreement
New Board members and Chair - in January; this is delayed due to potential special election

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.
