Agenda

• Press release update

  • Jennifer got confirmation that press release can be posted

  • Will be sending to Erica at EBSCO today

  • Will begin work on LinkedIn posts to feature a selection of sprint demos which may be of interest to the community

    • For the first few posts, Reading Room and new Serials functionality might be good to feature

    • Highlight new features, long-awaited features, etc.

    • Then provide link to all available videos (OLF channel?)

• Ideas

  • Replace X feed with LinkedIn feed on folio.org

  • Request that folio.org site accommodate a “News from the community” area and a “Release updates” area

  • Invite Sebastian Hammer to give a version of his talk about the importance of open projects at WolfCon, but also would be good content to feature on folio.org or LI as well

• Updating PC on our activities next week

  • Recent activity

    • Updates to folio.org, understanding ownership of that site

    • No real ownership of communications outside this site

  • Need for centralized communication, intersection with member recruitment efforts

    • Other relevant initiatives: CC membership working group, CC efforts around outreach

    •
