Notes

1. Update on elections in June (Julia, 5 minutes)

Mike clarified that members at a certain level are eligible for automatic membership to the Leadership Group. Platinum are automatically added. All Gold and Silver members are automatically seated until we have enough members at these levels to hold elections.

We have Bronze elections every year. We’ll open nominations soon and then hold an election to choose one Bronze member for the Leadership Group.

We also open nominations for three Community members and then hold elections.

The new LG convenes on July 5. Then the new chair is selected.

All LG members hold one-year terms but there are no term limits.

Julia will create a new wiki page for memberships and elections processes.


2. VIVO conference 2020 and Expert Finders System Forum: exploring options (Julia, 10 minutes)

The first EFS Forum in Orlando, early March (http://expertfindersystems.org/program.html). The event had a slightly different focus, more about commercial and state-supported, expert finder systems.

Julia has met with Amy Finley and Becky Augustyniak at Florida State a couple of times to discuss possibilities for:

  • A co-branded conference (Expert Finders Forum and VIVO Conference)
  • Hosted at a university (in FL) probably Sept 2020
  • We’d like to get submissions from community
  • Maybe a VIVO track or VIVO pre-conference day?
  • Requesting sponsorships as we’ve done for the VIVO conference in the past.

Julia, Becky and Amy are working on a proposal to collect details. We need a recommendation from the SG to move forward. Also, would anyone else like to be part of the proposal effort?

Mike: this was a small conference with 70+ people. The VIVO attendees were very active and contributed to the discussions. The organizers work for Florida’s Expert Net (https://expertnet.org/) There was no information for developers but the keynotes and some of the talks were academic.

Alex: Robert McDonald and Noshir Contractor gave the keynotes.

Mike: We cannot have a combined event with the PURE user group because it would mean too many Elsevier staff. Their tactics are sometimes prediatory and they don’t have much respect for VIVO.

Violeta: I am not in favor of combining the events.

DJ: Agree that Elsevier is a different type of vendor.

Anna: Elsevier sometimes sells VIVO sites! Can you sell open source? Sponship is good but partnership would be bad.

Alex: Agree with Mike – shouldn’t have an event with the PURE User Group.

Was the event helpful?

Mike: yes. There were lots of convesations about expertise and engagement.

DJ: I liked the new angle. The collaborations between state governments and universities was interesting.

Alex: This seemed like a great way to learn about economic competitiveness – how to develop competitiveness.

Violeta: I’m still not in favor. I have concerns about working with all vendors.

Alex: the organizers and steering group should already be aware that having the event hosted presents concerns. Violeta, thanks for standing up for your beliefs and differing from the group! We need that and appreciate it.

Julia: I will follow up with Becky and Amy to make sure that we’re not combining with a PURE User Group event. Also we will mention the code of conduct for meetings.


3. VIVO Objectives under Lyrasis (Julia and Mike, 20 minutes)

Please review this document before the meeting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t80J5WsWniXZk7u_YWS_EsngpkoZP0AyEoFdXazwDuc/edit?usp=sharing

These objectives resulted from a discussion at the DuraSpace Summit, Breakout 2.

Need a SG recommendation about taking these to the LG and on to LYRASIS.

How should this work? Need more questions? Fewer questions? Should the LG vote?

Mike: We need a good relationship with LYRASIS. Erin will help us with that. This will be our first step towards a conversation with LYRASIS. One of the most important things is to include VIVO activities in their mission statement.

Julia: Steerers, please take a look at this document and make changes so that we can share it with the Leadership Group.


4. VIVO development at CINECA (Mike 20 minutes)

This is a very important conversation. We need a three-year road map. Members are wondering whether we are committed to maintaining the core VIVO. Federico will be discussing his question at the LG meeting
