    2. One or more sites considering increasing their membership level
    3. Melbourne will not renew their VIVO platinum membership.
  3. TIB workshop  September 28, Hannover, Germany. https://events.tib.eu/vivoworkshop2017/
    1. Mike: looking forward to learning who has a VIVO project in Germany. One-day event
  4. InfLibNet workshop, Gandhinagar, India, Aug 16-18 http://inflibnet.ac.in/hrd/login.php
    1. Ticketed event. Three days. Looking to increase adoption.
  5. Task force updates
    1. Ontology improvement – gathering committers, developing update process, building an ontology file
    2. Internationalization – list of issues to address in Jira, organize repositories to simplify finding and building internationalized versions
      1. Wrote a script to find stray English in the templates, show calling tree – what templates use which other templates
  6. 1.10 update
    1. Working on ORCID API to 2.0. Current ORCiD API will be decommissioned at the end of the year.
    2. It should be relatively straightforward to backport the API update to 1.9.
  7. Open Repositories
    1. Mike spoke to Tom Cramer. Stanford will be creating a VIVO instance, branded as "Rialto". See Emerging Verticals.
    2. Congrats on having Stanford. Is there an opportunity to do a co-presentation like at CNI? Fantastic idea - especially if they could share the analysis they did.
    3. Tom has a lot of good insight the graph of connected data regarding scholarship produced by VIVO
  8. Conference Updates
    1. Registration picking up
    2. Look to be above break even
  9. Roundtable
    1. Cornell is working to simplify the creation of custom forms in Vitro for its VitroLib editor; hoping to fold this back into the core of the Vitro system. Will turn this into a production tool for libraries. Scholars@Cornell will be live at the end of the month.
    2. UCSF is trying to put together a version of Profiles that has all the UC medical schools (n=5) in it. We're seeing more and more pragmatic use cases for integrating researcher networking sites.
