Scope & Objectives
Samvera is a robust partnership community with volunteer contributions forming most of project work and formally sharing responsibility for its development. They set technical and Community direction; contribute to design and code; organize events; conduct training; help orient new adopters; write documentation; and advance the Community overall. While the volunteer partner contributions are the community's core, we have recognized that sustainability and efficiency are promoted by having dedicated and accountable staff in the form of the Samvera Community Manager. Gaps in volunteers for the Hyrax tech lead role led to a currently running proof of concept experiment to compensate a person or institution for 25% time.
This working group will assess filled and unfilled priority staffing roles in the Samvera community with equity, efficiency, and sustainability.
Deliverables & Timeframe
This group will deliver an analysis of staffing gaps, volunteer staffing strengths, assessment of the Hyrax Tech Lead funded position experiment, and product maintenance and development coordination and efficiency. The group will deliver recommendations on Specific deliverables that will be outlined in the first meeting.
This group will convene in February 2023 with the goal to present outcomes at Samvera Connect in Fall 2023.
