Notes:

AI: Go back to the notes from Partners and see if there's anything we need to pick up

AI:  rsteans Ryan look for container for leaflets from 4Imprint

Review of VC and Partners - 

Marketing WG wanted to be involved in synthesis of the Vision (Chris asked for Marketing to be involved)

Sub-group to take away visioning material/ exercise and meld something from it 

  AI:  Find out when Carolyn and Hannah will be done (rsteans Ryan will ask Carolyn)

Seem to feel Samvera is not a product and not treated as such - people trying to get Samvera into institutions are trying to get a technology in

Community is a key strength of Samvera - but you get into Samvera for a solution.  "What is the product?"  It's not the community

Treat what we're doing as a product - expect responses and services around the technology, somewhere in the community those things are being provided

From a Marketing Point of View: alternative view - marketing what they perceive Samvera to be?  - 

To go back to the synthesis - would like to keep an eye on what is being said so we don't lose sight of the product responsibility to users

Update on current work

Slide Deck:  Where should it go on Wiki or website?  Front page - "templates, slides and articles"

Robin will do an accessibility audit on the PPT template

Case Studies

  • Stanford is really a Blacklight - may not do study
  • Avalon case study
  • Emory via Rosalyn Metz
  • working toward King's Fund (Julie working on it), Chrissy Rissmeyer offered - UCSB (Alexandria)

Personal Profiles - update and rotate through every few months

Website:  Suggested we restructure website by user/ audience.   ex:  managers/ librarians/developer & sys admin

     who are our audiences?  a suggestion, but not a plan (yet)

      will require a lot of planning, discussion

     maybe develop a specific page for specific audiences - 

     practicalities to how we structure site vis-a-vis reactive site

 In relation to applications and demos - some tidying up around Applications and Demo's page - out of date

     Degree to which any view re: when and how you jump people off the website and into the Wiki

     DOn't reduplicate the work on the website - if it's on the wiki

Suggestion on website - longer term goal - test navigation through website - 

    in near future:  clean-up "applications and demos" - consistency across the website 

    Richard:  will make a suggestion at next call -but doesn't adequately mention Solution Bundles.  May be part of the review.  

        brief proposal by next meeting

    Nabeela:  Events diary - it has some IG/WG meetings - get them all listed here.  For Repo managers - what are the times for other IG/WG's?  Only helpful if kept up to date.  Others can update it themselves - but don't.  They do it on the Wiki, but not on website.

    Have a link from the Wiki that requires a Wiki log-in.  

AI:  Investigate Options -  for calendar (Richard Green Nabeela Jaffer ) - DLF have something, go back and take a look

Leaflets now available - Updated - 

AI:  please provide feedback re: leaflet (ALL)  - font size, white space, marker on page edge could make it easier to fold, 

Lastly FAQ - Identified some new questions - answers to questions

Page anchors disappear when you save the page.  

Charlotte would like to put this doc on the Wiki - one area of comment - application and demo's page question

AI: Charlotte Nunes Charlotte will link to working doc in WG page

FAQ thing from Charlotte - how developers become official Samvera developers - CLA process - 

  we could expand the CLA area in FAQ  5-6 pages on GitHub about how to contribute - distill something from those pages

  opportunity for us to promote those expectations - taps into audience questions - AI - ask a developer!

   issue:  we could send someone from FAQ's to the page tree  -

   AI:  FAQ answer is brief - (rsteans Ryan) will write copy to make sure we have a FAQ on how a contributor can join in


Audience discussion

Some answers more relevant to different audiences in FAq - in a particular audience, looking for certain things

Shape toward audiences on page - how to shape info in a way that is useful to encounter

invited those present to an exercise - audiences that should be useful for Samvera

Strong themes from brainstorm - insight to audience that Partners felt needed to know about Samvera - where partners are at in terms of who needs our messages

AI:  How do we condense this to something we can practically work on this?  - 

    Can someone work with Chris on this?  - Charlotte Nunes and Alicia Morris

Steps in tackling needs to each audience


Events:  

Open Repositories - 

Chris answer about tables - fee of about 1000 Euros.  less than DLF

This is an event where we need a table and presence, therefore worth paying - call to Samvera Community to find out who is coming.  

We need to do 1000 euros - about what we'd charge someone who wanted a similar table at Connect
