Alignment / Decisions from previous meetings

1. We need a plan with actions, goals and associated target dates, aimed at marketing for DSpace 7
   1. Popular use cases, and how DSpace 7 improves on them, are powerful in marketing
   2. Facts that the SG endorses, are powerful in marketing
2. We need a more general approach for DSpace Marketing on the longer term. The group did not reach agreement on whether this can be open ended, or whether this can have a finite timeline
