Agenda:


  1. Checkins
  2. Reviewing Leadership Team exercises - who do we want to reach out to? who needs to be there? what markets/communities are we not paying attention to? who are we failing to include? what messages/formats for reaching out?  Pick three levels of communication/personas and identify communication plan to reach out to about Fedora. Jamboard 1, Jamboard 2
    1. Communities to connect with - Software Preservation Network
    2. AV industry - lots of companies with solutions, there may be opportunities though
    3. the Jamboards are clearly generated from the academic domain  - could be good to look outside of academia. To what extent to we public organizations have an appreciation of markets outside of ours. It is a gap - we don't have the knowledge to know how to get information about these external organizations.
    4. Would be good to get some external experts about which open source markets would make sense for Fedora - do some market research? "we don't know what we don't know"
    5. Approach - deeper engagement with existing groups (IU - so many voices looking at enterprise digital preservation system solution - developers, digital archivists, etc. - each needing their own types of engagement. 
    6. Good to articulate a need around market research to determine where we could grow. Even if we don't have the funding for it, good to articulate. 
    7. LYRASIS-wide market research - something we talked about in early 2020 - had considered a catalyst grant. Good to talk with David/Laurie about possibilities.
    8. Another area for consideration not represented in the  Jamboards - digital art. Need to identify people who we can talk to to learn more. 
    9. NFTs -
    10. Fedora is something people find if they are looking for it. NFTs have made digital preservation real to the 'man on the street' - is there a way to tap into what Fedora can offer, showing the value of digital preservation. NFTs are also a "fad" 
  3. Fedora 6 release party plans
    1. Changed tentative date - July 15th 11-12 am EST, which coincides with the tech call for the day. Sending out a save the date - reminder about the RedBubble.
    2. Use historical article about Fedora for trivia during the session: http://web.archive.org/web/20000819130403/www.cs.cornell.edu/cdlrg/FEDORA.html
    3. Giving out trophies to primary committers, recognize anyone/everyone who contributed. 
    4. Release version today
