Resources to support outreach/adoption activities

• Project website: http://vivoweb.org/
  • Updates about project activities: check out the blog and press releases.
  • Connect with other VIVO sites at meetings and events: see the calendar of events and feel free to send the project an email or email Kristi - we can coordinate a meet-up or dinner plans or something similar.
  • Materials: some good background materials are available on the Support page and there are other materials on the SourceForge wiki (NOTE: moved to DuraSpace wiki). Of particular note is a current flyer about VIVO that you can print off and use locally.

• Open source community on SourceForge
  
  • Adoption and Outreach resources- including:
    
    • VIVO Benefits - Information about how the power of VIVO can be leveraged, by role.
    • VIVO FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions that have been raised during local outreach presentations, conferences, and emails to project members.
    • Semantic Web resources - Resources to learn about the semantic web, linked open data, and more.

Questions, future agenda items of interest to the group

• Is there a copy of the original proposal to read to better understand the scope of the work? Maybe a link to the development timeline?
• Meeting Frequency
  • call participants agreed that a monthly call around adoption and outreach topics is sufficient. Perhaps it might be easiest to remember that calls are the third Tuesday of the month. The next call is scheduled for March 20th, 12:00 noon ET.
• Listserv
  • the group decided that a listserv (such as what exists for development, ontology, and implementation) would be helpful. Kristi will get this set up.
• Topics for discussion
  • connecting with data sources (local data sources and broader data sources such as publishers, granting info, institutional repositories, and so on)
  • potential data sources - what are people doing? where are sites getting data?
