Major goals of this forum / Quick brainstorming session for potential topics
All
This topic and the topic below blurred into an overall productive conversation about the structure of the online forum and content goals.
Overall themes the team would like to address at the forum:
Using ArchivesSpace at an under resourced institution
Using ArchivesSpace at a small archive or as a lone arranger
Using ArchivesSpace while working remotely
Presentations/sessions the team would like to develop or help develop:
Presentation about managing paraprofessionals, students and volunteers in ArchivesSpace
Workshops related to using the ArchivesSpace API (both intro and more advanced use, like ArchivesSnake)
Checking broken URLs with ASpace and Python: workshop/presentation
Building ASpace from the ground up - step by step on how to get ASpace going and make it work for a 1-person job: workshop (could this also be useful for individuals looking to set up their own test instance of ArchivesSpace apart from their production instance that may be hosted or managed outside of their control?)
Exploring the ASpace database - what does it look like and what can you do with it?: workshop/presentation
Workshops highlighting more “basic” ArchivesSpace features like creating, editing and spawning resources and accessions
Digital Object workshop/session
Agent module demo (lite mode vs. full mode)
Discussion about re-description and anti-racist/anti-colonial work in ArchivesSpace
Discussion about the ongoing anti-racism and inclusion initiatives in ArchivesSpace
Discussions lead by members of different advisory council groups to highlight the important role of the community and the work they accomplish.
ArchivesSpace trivia! Either for fun or prizes

The team identified 9amPT/12pmET/5pmUTC as the ideal start time for the forum. The first day of the forum will ideally have about 4-5 hours of content with days 2 and 3 potentially being held at more flexible or different times and focusing on workshops and discussion.
