Agenda
- Additions to the agenda
- Annual fundraising call check-in
- Status check: DuraSpace have fundraising text for Samvera-only and Samvera+Fedora calls. Issue date put back until after Easter
- Do we want to put out our own call on the Community and Partner lists? After the DuraSpace cycle (so as not to confuse)?
- Connect Sponsorship
- Draft report has been circulated. Tomorrow is the closing date for objections/comment. None received so far.
- Should plan for WG to start seeking sponsorship asap (certainly before our next call which is a month away - see #7)
- 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.
