Dear ...,
We briefly discussed the work of the DSpace 7 marketing work group, and the current ongoing search for high profile institutions & stakeholders that are willing to become "faces" endorsing the DSpace 7 efforts.
If you want to have an idea of what this could be or look like, we primarily want to provide "counter weight" to what Ex Libris is doing with their yet-to-be-production-ready commercial "Esploro" platform.
https://www.exlibrisgroup.com/community/customers/?filter=Esploro
The wiki page dedicated to these efforts is here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Goal+2%3A+Identify+and+promote+early+adopter+institutions
So what we're concretely after is:
- MarComm approval to use the <<institution name>> (or library) name/logo on communication around DSpace 7 on the Duraspace website
- Someone at your institution who wants to be in these materials with quotes & pictures
- The exact message is entirely up to you // your stakeholders. It doesn't need to be a promise to be one of the earlier adopters. But as long as it's a positive statement about the DSpace development, and a commitment to the open community & platform etc, it will be definitely something the marketing work group can work with.
Thank you in advance,
