Ongoing projects below

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.

• Desirable Characteristics of Digital Publication Repositories

• https://www.apereo.org/content/values

• 8 advantages of using open source in the enterprise

  What is open source, and why does it matter today?

  Why You Need an Open Source Software Strategy

  Producing Open Source Software

  Open Source in Open Science | FOSTER

  CZI – Essential Open Source Software for Science

Making the case: Create a series of documents to help people get administrative support for adopting initiatives.

• Adopting open source

• Value of going to Samvera Connect

• Pledging community hours

Accessibility (Samvera.org, etc):

• Link text should be more descriptive for Accessibility; eg, “Learn More” should be more specific.

• Should we consider an overall Accessibility scan? (Site Improve)
