...
- Attendees: Paul, Mike, Violeta, Julia, Anna, Erin, Alex, DJ, Mark
- Steering and Leadership groups
- Steering group meets every 2 weeks. Leadership meets every 4.
- Steering is more operationally focused.
- Goal is for Steering to assemble the agenda for the Leadership group. We don't want to duplicate discussions between these two groups.
- We will take turns taking notes.
- Should we use Google Docs? Probably not.
- We do have a Steering Slack channel. We don't archive Slack. If you want to preserve something, it goes in the wiki.
- There's a balance between process vs. substance. Paul: I would prefer a 1:2 ratio.
- Mike's updates
- 2019 Conference
- We have a process for selecting the 2019 site. We received a proposal from U. of Montenegro. We decided to hold until the deadline.
- The conference will be held at Podgorica.
- The proposal will be accepted. We're working on getting our conference group together. Right now, it's Mike, Julia, and Violeta. We're looking for volunteers from this group. Please don't spread this beyond this group.
- Kotor, which is near Podgorica, is a beautiful account.
- We're hoping to get a conference rate of 95 euro per night but that's not binding. There's also the possibility of renting an apartment for 30-40 euro/night
- Conference would be in September.
- Scoring the initiatives
- Mike sorted the initiatives into groups based on the scores. Trying to schedule a meeting of the 5.
- Will be discussed by the Leadership group on Sept. 14
- 2019 Conference
- Opportunities for SG members
- Working on the memorandum of understanding with Duraspace. If anyone wants to help with this, let me know.
- Action planning: governance and organization, product evolution, defining the community, resources, vision
- Agenda for next Leadership group meeting.
- Talk about VIVO Conference
- Development sprint Sept. 17 to 28
- Present the scoring of the technical initiatives.
- Mike: Leadership wants to talk about scoring initiatives in the context of alignment. Alignment is the overriding concern. Members generally feel that things are happening, and they're not involved or in the loop.
- Erin: would it be worth bringing up the efforts of the task forces? Julia: in October might be best.
- Mike: I presume people should be able to read 4 pages before a meeting. I want to make sure the opportunities are clear. This as opposed to endless show and tell.
- Julia: one idea would be to structure it better.
- Violeta: maybe we could do quick summaries ahead of time
