Agenda and notes

1. Updates from Mike
   
   1. Mike will use mconlon@ufl.edu for email and Google Docs.  Mconlon@duraspace.org will be forwarded.  Hopefully minimal disruption.
   2. Mike will give an invited talk at the inaugural meeting of the Association for Data, Information, and Society in Nanjing China.  July 4-6, 2018.  They will pay expenses. Ying Ding (Indiana) is organizing.
      1. Creating a journal. Using VIVO as an infrastructure.
   3. Michele and Mike had calls this week with University of Münster, Humboldt University.
      1. TIB people are eager for Münster to go through. UM is a prestigious university.
      2. Humboldt is trying to identify themselves as a premier university. Michele has fingers crossed that they could come on as a platinum member. They know what they're doing.
   4. VIVO Camp next week at UCSD.  Mike Conlon, Paul Albert, Violeta Ilik, Benjamin Gross instructors.  7 attendees besides instructors. 
      1. Will be at Biomedical Library at UCSD courtesy of Declan Flemming. 
   5. VIVO sprint April 24-May 3.  Muhammad Javed (Cornell) leading. Do we need more developers? Do we need testing volunteers on VIVO 1.9.2?
      1. Mike: one of the goals of the spring is to release 1.10.
      2. Julia: last week, Andrew asked us to ask us for more developers on the sprint. Do we still need more developers for the sprint? My suggestion is to find VIVOs with 1.9.2 to do some testing? Mike: You can build and test 1.10 out of the box. We want new sites to come on to 1.10. We also need to do conversion testing for any sites on historical versions. What's changing in 1.10 is getting on Jena 3. This should be compatible back to VIVO 1.6.
      3. Debra: it might be good to have Andrew on this call to tell us what we need.
      4. Julia: what do we do to get more testers? Mike: yes, we need more people to help in every way. Mike: a lot of testers are interested in the next version. Most of the benefit is to new sites.
      5. Mike: I think we need a spring schedule so managers of resources can commit to a sprint. If you don't when the sprints are, how can you schedule?
      6. Lauren: who owns this? Debra: I think this group. Mike: Doug Hahn at Texas A&M said we need a sprint schedule.
   6. RDA Berlin.  Trip report here: 2018-03-21 Trip Report -- 11th RDA Plenary, Berlin, Germany
      1. This group is not focusing on a particular domain as we are focusing on scholarship.
      2. Leslie McIntosh Firelli (sp?), who has an existing relationship with the grant, was there.
      3. This group doesn't do presentations. They have interest groups and workgroups, and they do work. They start with Birds of a Feather.
2. Discussion: Membership drive (Mike, Julia)
   1. Julia: we're talking about adding some of David Wilcox's time. He is the product manager from Fedora. We hope he can organize us. We think the best way to do this is to have existing members reach out to prospective members. Mike: I agree that the key thing is to have our governance people involved.
3. Update on action planning groups (Julia)
4. DuraSpace Summit breakouts on Wednesday April 11 (Mike, Julia)
5. MOU on the Steering Group Google folder (Julia)
