Agenda & Notes

  • Review Connect 2025 Sched website

  • Documentation issues review

    • Issues related to the websites that might need discussion

    • https://github.com/samvera/samvera.org/issues/157

    • https://github.com/samvera/samvera.org/issues/156

      • What is our goal with this page? Connecting someone to get involved in the community. Samvera Basics. Could also direct to service providers, if someone is looking for a service provider and not to develop locally. “I want to: learn more about the technologies, find a service provider, get in touch. Events, calendar, and calls; YouTube channels.

      • We could break up the page with boxes like the Contact Us page, to make it less text-heavy. Would need to get help from front end volunteers to add that styling to the page.

  • Check in on draft of a new community relationships diagram

    • Based on PALNI example (how we work together)

    • Will try a scatter graph type approach to show relationships; pillars with the foundation across the top

    • Heather and Nick will keep working on this

  • New case studies for the website

    • Suggestions for the most useful way to present these, information to include

    • Would like one each platform

    • Suggestions for institutions to approach for case studies

  • Open time for other items/discussions

Rolling action items:

Samvera.org - when we have new case studies, link them to the corresponding subdomains and vice versa
Need to make sure all subdomains have the Samvera logo and link to samvera.org in the footer
Consider a “join the Community” section on the homepage with buttons for slack, mailing lists, join github, events calendar
Using Partner logos on a Partner page - possible to do, but requires getting permission from some institutions
Hyrax subdomain refresh
