UAC Updates

Suzanne Reller

ASpace Board approved change to by-laws to include Vice Chairs on Council Nominating Committee

New Ad Hoc Working Group in works:

• Metadata Sub-team is going to form a group to create a data model of ArchivesSpace. More info to come in early 2023

Council technical training and professional development (follow up to previous Council-wide and recent TAC conversations):

• Goals: Assist Council members with sub-team work by helping them understand the application better. Provide professional development takeaway for Council members in the form of ASpace training/guidance

• Feedback needed:

  • Are there any existing technical barriers that stop you from doing your work on Council?

  • Are there skills you think are helpful for Council members to know?

• Current ideas:

  • Host Tech Hour gathering

  • Surface existing documentation/presentations/resources and link them in Handbook

  • Valerie A. has offered to (co)create specific training resources that are directly relevant to Council work, such as spinning a Test instance on Docker (relevant to Testing sub-team specifically)

• Discussion on future development of the digital objects module scheduled for December 14 - registration at https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpce-trjkoGdSGvc2uCimrn5zVU0UM-027 . We’ll be distributing a pre-discussion survey closer to the event. There is also some current development going on around some low hanging fruit digital objects issues like making it clearer in the public interface when there is digital content for a given resource.
