Participants

  • @Joshua Shaw - note taker

  • @Valerie Addonizio

  • @James Griffin (Unlicensed)

Goals

  • brainstorm our next steps

  • start figuring out responsibilities/parcel out who gets to tackle which integration

    • review status of current integrations listed

    • investigate/solicit information on integrations not listed

  • setting our meeting schedule

  • figuring out how we want to document our process

Notes & Tasks

Decided to meet monthly (with option for more frequent meetings as needed). Next meeting is 2/5 @ 10-11 EST

Will use Slack for general communication and tracking

Layout Notes

Preliminary discussion of layout/presentation. Will keep categories of integrations, but will switch to a list style layout rather than table form.

Will add additional links to demos, contacts, etc to descriptions (recent webinars might be a good place to start, can link to AS blog posts, include links to recorded versions)

Will add support statement - ie what version(s) of ArchivesSpace does the integration support or intend to support.

Will add a last updated statement.

Will remove tier status.

Tasks

We will contact the owners/developers of current integrations to get more current information on the status of the integration.

Joshua: Circa, Preservica, Archivematica

Valerie: EADChecker, Preprocessor, CAIT

James: Drupal, StaticAid, CollectionSpace

Joshua will draft an email to currently listed integrations owners/developers soliciting updated information. Joshua will share draft with Valerie and James prior to sending. Email will ask for current status, planned development, ArchivesSpace version support, comments on description, etc.

Valerie will draft email to various companies asking if they have or plan to have an integration with ArchivesSpace.

Joshua will email Christine & Dallas to ask if the listserv is appropriate venue for soliciting responses for any integrations not currently listed on the integrations page or on the ArchivesSpace blog

Joshua will develop a set of questions for a survey asking AS users if they currently use any integrations and if they’d be willing to be contacted about it.

We’ll all trawl through the blog looking for additional integrations (eg Aviary)
