Agenda

  1. Additions to the agenda

  2. Annual fundraising call check-in

    1. Status check:  DuraSpace have fundraising text for Samvera-only and Samvera+Fedora calls.  Issue date put back until after Easter

    2. Do we want to put out our own call on the Community and Partner lists?  After the DuraSpace cycle (so as not to confuse)?

  3. Connect Sponsorship

    1. Draft report has been circulated. Tomorrow is the closing date for objections/comment.  None received so far.

    2. Should plan for WG to start seeking sponsorship asap (certainly before our next call which is a month away - see #7)

    3. The website front-end for Connect 2019 is up at https://connect2019.samvera.org with links to various wiki pages (which are currently placeholders).  We need to produce text similar to https://forum2019.diglib.org/sponsorship-opportunities/ for the 'Sponsors' page.  I think we should also look closely at their "benefits" table (on the same page) as we may want to massage ours slightly.

  4. Follow-ups on Danielle Robinson discussion re. funders

    1. Status check

  5. Lightning talk update for Samvera Virtual Connect 23 April - Karen

    1. Status check

  6. Interim WG report for Partner Meeting 29/30 April

    1. Circulated yesterday ahead of Partner Meeting

  7. Next calls

    1. Tuesday 30 April

      1. Cancelled  - clashes with Partner Meeting in Indianapolis.

    2. Tuesday 14th May

      1. Jon can't make it due to schedule conflict

 

 

notes:

Fundraising call check in:  

Val Hollister has the text - DuraSapce is sending out in a week or so

Do we want to put out our own calls on the lists?  - Yes.  Would occur after the DuraSpace calls.  

1-on-1 calls?  - a spreadsheet of the partners and past contributions - list of key people amonst those partners who would be useful or beneficial to contact?  

Google Sheet (owned by Richard) - add context to that sheet, contact names - (Jessica surfaced the sheet) - 

Take every institution on the list

DuraSpace email - community email - personalized email - 

AI:  create a Google sheet - who is the contact at each location - Hannah will take @Hannah Frost

AI: Draft the template email that can be customized - Jon Dunn @Jon Dunn

Once sheet is created - will jointly take on, crowd-source 

produce the voting list for names, and Rosalyn's list (AUL)
