Minutes
International outreach (notes from 6/23 COM)
- Outreach through RSPs for help/feedback on idea of working together on a French and Italian DuraSpace newsletters for customers and consortia
- Aim is to build data and relationships that may eventually translate into memberships
- Three types of assistance: determining what types of content would best serve users in an area, translations and customer/client lists
- key to trying to get funding from Europe is through engaging with these international orgs; consortia rather than individuals
- Pay off is more direct exposure and more opportunities to speak at other conferences abroad
- Need to be enmeshed with the orgs we want to engage with
- Seems to be interest in our OS projects in Europe, two ways to learn about needs/practices
- by country, how does it work in France and Germany?
- by academic domain, how does it work? Is there a driving scientific purpose?
- Michele is in charge of international partnerships for CINECA; working toward arranging introductory phone calls between us and consortial reps
- Challenge is to make the initial org introductions to learn what the needs are and how to be helpful
- CINECA status is changing, new director, efforts more towards italian universities; colleagues have splintered off and formed a division of another for-profit company—focus will be on non-profits, but activities will be the same; Michele will stay with CINECA; gained a new RSP "4Science"; CINECA status as RSP is in question
