Scope & Objectives
The Roadmaps Alignment Group exists, as much as possible, to minimize conflicts between the roadmaps of the Core Components Owners, Hyrax, Hyku, and Avalon in consultation with the Metadata Interest Group, the Repository Management Interest Group, and a Samvera Service Provider, while allowing the individual work-streams to progress at their own pace. They will identify when cross-project development and maintenance sprints need to be arranged and coordinate communication to the Samvera Community about these activities. This group is chartered per the Governance Recommendations adopted by the Samvera Partners in April 2018. More information about the Roadmaps Alignment Group can be found in Recommendation #4 of the Samvera Governance Next Steps document.
Meetings will be held at least monthly via conference call/video chat. Meeting agendas and notes will be shared with the community via chat (Slack) and Samvera Lists (Google Groups). Members of the group may wish to meet more often than monthly as needed.

Samvera White Paper
What We're Working On
- Community Feature Requests and Roadmap Planning
- pulling together feature requests from across the community to feed into roadmap planning for Samvera components and solutions
- identifying community pain points that require community action
- coordinating prioritisation of features
- Resourcing
- coordinating requests for community resourcing to deliver solution roadmaps and specific features
- a time-limited exercise to look at how to better facilitate and sustain community resourcing, looking at:
- barriers to code contribution, to joining feature sprints
- what adopters are already doing that might become community features
- Communications
- communicating into the work of the Council from the groups we represent
- communicating out from the Council to raise awareness of what's going on across the Samvera grass-roots community
- a Samvera White Paper
