Agenda & Notes
Any other items for the agenda?
NoneMarch Partner meeting action items review and next steps
2024 Regional meetings - what do we need to know to get to where we can announce save-the-dates?
Northeast/Developer Congress (Princeton)
Princeton expects to have approval to host the week of October 14a.
West Coast (UCSB/Softserv)
No update at this time
Midwest (Hyku for Consortia, others?)
Carolyn reported that this group has met. Looking at IUPUI (soon to be IU Indy). Dates September 25-26. Jon Dunn will ensure that there is enough space and book it. Heather offered help for developing a program.
Ideally, dates for the regional meet-ups will be announced at Virtual Connect
The Board will meet next week and will talk with Alberto about options for 2025.
Accessibility Interest Group
Heather thought someone at the Partner meeting took this on as an action item.
Emily Lynema has an accessibility break out planned for Virtual Connect. This might be a good launching place for an AIG. A draft charter would be helpful to have, but that might also come out of conversations at Virtual Connect. Emily is willing to work with others on a charter.
Future Partner call discussion topics
Looking for volunteer facilitators to give a few questions and open to discussion. Could someone volunteer to facilitate one of these for the May 10th meeting?
Cloud experiences and costs
Lots of interest in this
Carolyn and David can talk about AWS - annual costs, architecture, tips for cost savings.
AI/LLM
David Schober has been doing a lot of demos
