Review joint TAC/UAC mtg. (11/19)
  • Jaime missed meeting; Mary was able to share MM info w/ group and put in request for collab

    • Received follow-up email from Austin Munsell regarding possible collaboration opportunities with TAC sub-teams (Tech Docs, Metadata)

Half-year Survey
  • Decided to skip half-year survey in favor of a more structured year end survey with opportunity to respond anonymously

  • Jaime will send half-year summary email to cohort, with primary aim of determining if any members have not been able to have the desired level of communication with their match(es)

Plan Mixer 2
  • Date: December 18th 9:30/12:30 pm (instead of monthly meeting)

  • Topic: Presentation/discussion with other sub-team

  • Draft of intro message before invitations sent by Jessica

    • Invite will look spammy & come directly from Slack, so intro message from us is important

  • Include in half-year summary message

Open Discussion

  • Next sub-team meeting: January 15, 2025!

  • Learned that Atlas & Lyrasis give hosting discounts to ArchivesSpace members!

  • Previous ME sub-team created ArchivesSpace advocacy page/doc that is shared with prospective members
