First meeting: Thursday June 18, 2015
In attendance: Kelly, Pat, Gabriela
Agenda
1. Review feedback from last year
- instead of poster session, have "demo" session
- instead of having two streams (1 with a tech focus), have some sessions that could break out?
- poll people > do people want the management side only or also the tech? Need to have mid-level tech to include both sides.
- "it would be useful to have some pre-Summit homework or a testbed/sandbox to play in with all the software. "
- might be hard to coordinate
- could be helpful for assessing where people are
- consider when we have presenters interested
- framing sessions around sustainability?
2. Discuss the logistics of holding an in-person summit is possible without funding
- Gabriela Mircea will speak to her manager about committing meeting space and in kind support for food
- Looking at October date - Kelli Babcock to send out poll once Gabriela hears confirmation
- Kelli Babcock to send poll about summit theme:
- Sessions on sustainability and ongoing management of digital curation
- Sessions on increasing digital curation collaboration between institutions
- Workshops on practical skills in platforms
- Islandora
- Omeka
- DSpace
- Archivematica

Second Meeting: Thursday July 16
Agenda
- Keynote
- Patricia Moore to investigate if the Privacy Commissioner of Long Term Preservation would be interested in being our keynote - present on how they have "failed better"
- Save the date and call for proposals
- Poll results:
Thursday, October 15th - 9.1%
Friday, October 16th - 36.4%
Both of these dates work for me - 54.4%
Neither of these dates work for me - 0%
- Kelli Babcock to send out save the date for Friday, October 16th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- We will investigate keynote and demo reps before sending out a call for proposals
- Poll results:
- Summit theme and structure
- "Failing Better / Lessons Learned" won the poll
- Decided to structure the day as having presentations in the morning and 2 concurrent demo/workshops in the afternoon - demos could focus on the "failings" of the systems and how these were improved
- Demos not to be surface level! Presenters to assume their audience knows the platforms
- Highest votes for Archivematica, Omeka, Islandora, and Fedora - 90 minutes each = 2 concurrent demos in the afternoon (4 in total)
- Gabriela Mircea will contact reps for Archivematica and Omeka
- Kelli Babcock will contact reps for Discovery Garden and Fedora
- DGI can send a rep - contact is Erin Tripp, erin@discoverygarden.ca
- Fedora cannot (could do webcast, though)
