From Christine.Kim at lyrasis.org Thu Mar 1 14:19:35 2018 From: Christine.Kim at lyrasis.org (Christine Kim) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2018 19:19:35 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_uac] Announcement re: It Takes a Village guidebook Message-ID: Hello ArchivesSpace Members, ArchivesSpace is featured in a recent publication from the IMLS-funded "It Takes a Village" project about Open Source Software programs. Some information from the press release is below. LYRASIS is proud to announce the release of the Open Source Software Sustainability Guidebook as the culmination of the "It Takes a Village" project. The Guidebook is designed to serve as a practical reference source to help open source software programs serving cultural and scientific heritage organizations plan for long-term sustainability. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services - Grant LG-73-17-0005-17; LYRASIS appreciates their support. The full press release is available at: http://lyrasisnow.org/press-release-itav-guidebook/ and the guidebook is available at https://www.lyrasis.org/technology/Pages/IMLS-OSS.aspx. Laurie Gemmill Arp, Director, Collections Services & Community Supported Software at LYRASIS, was the co-director (along with CollectionSpace Program Manager Megan Forbes) for the project. Several people represented ArchivesSpace including Program Manager Christine Di Bella, Technical Lead Laney McGlohon and David Millman from NYU. Christine also contributed a case study for the guidebook about ArchivesSpace community engagement and its growth over the years. Being participants in an open source software program yourselves, we thought you may enjoy learning more about how these programs address common challenges and thinking about the opportunities for collaboration that our involvement in such a project may provide in the future. If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to Laurie or Christine. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm pleased to announce that Cherry Hill Company, who worked on the design phase of the public interface project, will be working with us to provide a set of wireframes and a design guide for optimal usability and accessibility of the staff interface. They will be using the recommendations of the group to guide this process, and there will also be opportunities for members to provide feedback at several points along the way. We are aiming to have the final wireframes and design guide delivered by the end of June 2018. I should note that this project is focused on the layout and appearance of the interface, with usability and accessibility as the chief considerations. There are other projects that focus on adding and/or improving functionality in the interface, some of which we anticipate may commence before the visual layout project is complete. If you have any questions, or if you know now that you would like to participate in the feedback process, please get in touch. Thanks especially to the Staff Interface Enhancement Working Group for identifying this as a need, and to all of you that participated in that process.

This minor release contains several community pull requests and bug fixes. You can download this release at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.3.2. Please note that while we were originally planning to put out a larger release in March, we have identified some search, indexing and infrastructure issues that we consider necessary to address before continuing to add more functionality to the application. As such we are postponing our next major release until later in the year and will be updating the roadmap later this week to reflect this. While the roadmap always represents our best estimate as to what will get accomplished in a particular timeframe, sometimes we get thrown an unexpected curveball and this is one of them. You'll see some additional messages from us in the coming weeks about progress on the issues to be addressed. Thanks for your patience as we do this important work to improve everyone's ArchivesSpace experience. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/. If you have not already upgraded to 2.3.0 or 2.3.1, we would recommend going directly to 2.3.2, but if you have already upgraded recently and would find it difficult to upgrade again so soon, we suggest upgrading to this release only if you need one of its specific changes right now. Thanks to the community members who contributed their time, energy, and coding skills to this release. If you have any questions or need help upgrading, please let us know.

Webinar description: As an application fueled by the enthusiasm and energy of an incredibly proactive community, ArchivesSpace development continues to grow and evolve, sometimes faster than it can keep up.

Dear ArchivesSpace members, I am writing to report on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 3rd Quarter meeting, which was held in Chicago on March 19th. We were pleased to welcome back John Wilkin, who represents partner institution University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Bill Mischo had been representing UIUC in John's place while he served as interim provost. We appreciate Bill's service and insight over the past year. We reviewed the continued excellent work of the Technical Advisory Council and User Advisory Council and thank the members for their dedicated participation. The Nominating Committee, chaired by Gordon Daines, is also continuing its strong work in preparing an election slate and identifying and soliciting people interested in serving on our Councils. The operations update highlighted continued member growth and enhanced opportunities for member engagement through webinars, open calls and regional forums. The operations report also spotlighted development accomplished through the work of core committers, various contractors and community members. The board is making progress on several important foundation documents. Work continues on the bylaws review and the organizational home agreement, and we reviewed several membership policies. Peter Carini chaired a committee focused on the mission and guiding principles and presented its work. The board was pleased to approve the following: ArchivesSpace Mission Statement * ArchivesSpace is a community of mutual support committed to helping cultural heritage organizations foster access to, and promote discovery of, historical records and primary sources through the provision of sustainable and highly functional software and tools. ArchivesSpace Guiding Principles 1. Develop and release ArchivesSpace software and tools in ways that are compatible with open source principles. 2. Foster a community of mutual support that makes it possible for users to help each other and themselves. 3. Establish and maintain membership and governance structures that ensure participation of diverse cultural heritage organizations, regardless of type, size, or geographic location. 4. Develop a healthy ecosystem of partners to provide support and enhancement for ArchivesSpace that benefit a wide spectrum of users. 5. Facilitate cooperative development in compliance with best practices and responsive to archival standards. 6. Ensure the long-term sustainability and maintenance of ArchivesSpace software and tools. We are pleased to have these as way to make explicit our community's shared purpose and values. They will facilitate prioritization and decision making among the staff, governance board and councils in the years to come. In closing, I am very happy to report that the ArchivesSpace membership organization is vibrant and continuing to grow at a steady rate. The budget reports are strong and we look forward to approving a FY18-19 budget focused on further growth and development in our June meeting. Members are participating in all facets of the program and continue to be its strongest advocates. The Board welcomes your communications and comments on any and all of this, and we extend our thanks to all of you for your continuing support and ongoing contributions to the community we have created. Respectfully, Carol A. Mandel Chair, ArchivesSpace Governance Board Dean, Division of Libraries, New York University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
