  • Conference update
    • Eric: we have a call for submissions out. No submissions as yet but it's on EasyChair. Have two keynote speakers: Griffin and Warren. Photos and bios ready to go on the website. Still searching for a third speaker. Already emailed a few people. Will cover cost of conference but not the travel accomodations. Therefore, we've been looking for locals. Any ideas would be welcome.
    • Paul: Very important that people stay at the JB Duke. (See 8 Great Reasons....) Messaging derives from Eric's lead (Damaris leading). Sponsorships confirmed: Digital Science, CrossRef, and Clarivate (Violeta leading). 
    • Debra: staying at the JB Duke is very positive.
    • Julia: we're planning a couple events including introducing newcomers. Thursday will have an explore Durham and also a late-night social event at 9pm.
    • Mike: push the quality of food. Eric: my people push the idea that a hotel needs to be approved. At Columbia, it's all about how much it costs. Dean: I think talking about the sustainability of the conference is one of the stronger arguments.
  • Budget update
    • Dean: A sub-group is doing a deep dive. Will have another meeting after this one.
  • Tech update
    • Mike: the tech activity have perked up a bit. Slack has helped. The biggest topic has been the next release. I had a couple concerns: the next release does require sites to unload and re-load triple stores, and we haven't asked our sites to do that in five years. Additionally, there don't appear to be any visible features.
    • Three major updates: upgrade to Jena 3, pattern fragments, alternate set of Freemarker templates that provide a mobile-first foundation. But it's not quite ready for primetime.
    • Maybe we should have this group meet with us. The developers are perplexed. They don't know what to do.
    • Lauren: I - and my colleagues - would be interested in aiding with the design process.
  • Strategy meeting
    • Expecting 18-19 people attending the Strategy meeting, and 3 or 4 remote sites. We have a moderator, Heather Grier-Klein.
    • A survey will go out to propose the highest priority goals. We will then come up with a prioritized list. 
    • Mike: it's pretty important that we not rehash facts.
  • Erin: I heard from a client (Pasquale / Pascal) that is interested in considering VIVO. I notice Graham was featured prominently. 
    • Mike: easiest thing would be to contact me.
