Agenda / Notes

  • Islandora events strategy: get community input on events, revise events strategy proposal for LG
    • Discussed at joint meeting
      • ICC is free to survey community
      • ICC's Terms of Reference define planning events as ICC's responsibility
      • The event strategy doc (insert link) was in response to ICC's questions, so updating it is up to us (so we can merge feedback & comments)
    • Feedback survey from Con?
      • Could combine with the events survey, but not at the expense of getting the Con survey out
      • Amy proposes to start a draft
      • Should check in to see if Con organizers were planning a satisfaction survey already
  • community document for Project Discovery and Collaboration: confirm we're happy with wording, circle back to LG and Kirsta about sharing with the Islandora community
    • final review before sharing with LG, then community... approved
    • put on agenda for LG meeting
  • LSAP: Mirador Integration
    • https://groups.google.com/g/islandora/c/GgLAZ2wKgGM
    • Is TAG the maintainer
    • "The Islandora Coordinating Committee verifies the proposed contribution based on the ICC checklist for contributed repositories and votes on the inclusion of the software"
      • How to do?
    • Need to hear from TAG to confirm their part before ICC votes
      • Ask for TAG's analysis
      • Does TAG feel comfortable maintaining this?
    • In princlple, this is reasonable, but we need to hear from TAG before holding formal vote
  • plan upcoming ICC/LG meetings
    • Focus on community needs and divide responsibilities / actions between ICC & LG to ensure these needs are being met
    • With so few resources, how an we make sure they are being spent strategically, in alignment with both community input and a strategic vision?
    • Propose we (ICC & LG) engage in SOAR or SWAT analysis (or similar) to define that vision, then figure out what needs to happen to implement that vision
    • A roadmap should come out of these discussions
    • Acknowledge that as an open-source community, not everyone will have the same expectations or ability to engage with the work that needs to be done
    • Stated goal and outcome for next 3 meetings e.g.
      • lightweight strategic plan
      • agreement about how we will reach that goal
        • forward-focused
      • roadmap as end result
      • framework to facilitate this work
      • clarify at outset what is the purpose of our conversation(s):
        • possibility
        • clarity
        • action
        • decision
    • Start by establishing where we are aligned
    • Try to build a good process & get information out ahead of time to make meetings more productive
    • Can we seek grant money to help reach these goals and ensure that goals aren't just determined by well-resourced institutions?
    • Timeline? Next steps?
