• Make recommendations a downloadable brochure about Fedora and the Fedora 6 work.
• Consult with LYRASIS about creating the infographic and brochure.

  • What are folks already doing? Based on Leaders meeting, do we want to investigate any particular methods and make recommendations to David?

Notes

• Discussion around the right format for user group or other Fedora "conference" style events.
  • Shorter rather than longer sessions preferred. Fatigue of consuming material from screen for long periods.
  • Consideration that shorter and more frequent sessions could drive engagement.
  • Shorter sessions also allow the ability to focus on different audiences.
• Melissa has ideas and approaches she is using for Islandora she is willing to share.
• The idea of a combined Fedora User Group meeting was endorsed.
• Online format provides opportunity for different sized (i.e. smaller) institutions to highlight their work. Since cost of travel not a barrier.
