to fill up to five (5) vacancies on the ArchivesSpace Technical Advisory Council (TAC).<br>
<br>
Nominees will preferably be presently employed at an ArchivesSpace member institution (please refer to the member list at: <a href="http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/" target="_blank">http://archivesspace.org/community/whos-using-archivesspace/</a>)
or employees of a current Registered Service Provider (see: <a href="http://archivesspace.org/registered-service-providers/current-rsps/" target="_blank">http://archivesspace.org/registered-service-providers/current-rsps/</a>). Nominations from non-member
institutions will be considered based on their expertise and ability to contribute to the TAC.<br>

</span></p>
The Technical Advisory Council (<a href="https://archivesspace.org/governance-board-and-councils#TAC" target="_blank">https://archivesspace.org/governance-board-and-councils#TAC</a>) is a critical part of the ArchivesSpace community, having responsibility for
providing technical guidance to individuals or organizations contributing to application development, to the User Advisory Council, and to the ArchivesSpace Governance Board. TAC's current activities include:<br>
</span>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Reviewing enhancements and priorities and testing in collaboration with the User Advisory Council.</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Providing support for migrating data to ArchivesSpace from other systems and support for importing and exporting data in formats such as EAD, MARCXML, and CSV.</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Documenting the metadata standards used by ArchivesSpace and monitoring the standards landscape.</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Identifying integration points for ArchivesSpace with other systems (e.g. digital asset management systems, patron and request management systems, etc.), creating resources to assist the community with integration work and, for
specific integrations, developing technical requirements.</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Maintaining and updating technical documentation, including documentation of the API.</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Providing support and resources to help develop a community of code committers.</li></ul>
We seek nominations of individuals who would be engaged in TAC, committed to ASpace, and have a basic familiarity with some technical aspects of the application. While experience with open source projects, developing web applications (particularly using Ruby
on Rails and Sinatra), software testing, or interest in those areas, is especially welcome, it is not required.<br>
<br>
The anticipated time commitment for each appointee is expected to be two hours per week on average.<br>
<br>
The term of service for these appointments will be July 1, 2020-June 30, 2022. We expect to make up to five (5) appointments, and each new appointee will be eligible to have their appointment renewed for an additional two-year term, i.e., July 1, 2022-June
30, 2024.</div>
