Agenda

Additions to the agenda
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)?
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.
