Chapter Summaries
We would like to have a rolling google-document that will act as both a resource for keeping up with a summary of the book's content and relevant tools/resources as well as a record of our community's interpretation of the book. Each discussion session should establish one or more scribes to contribute notes to this document:
Mailing List
We have created a new google-group mailing list for on-going discussion related to the book to supplement the discussion group calls. Although the occasional update email will continue to be sent to the fedora-community mailing list, most of this book club's communications should take place on the duraspace-bookclub list:
Planning Meetings
In the latter part of every month, we will hold an open "book club planning" meeting to review the current processes and discuss course adjustments. Call-in details below All are welcome!

In preparation for this kick-off session, please begin collecting questions and topics that would be instructive as we begin this exploration:
