DSpace users,
The Marketing Interest Group would like to focus on the following Marketing Goals this year in conjunction of supporting DSpace 7.x releases and overall adoption and usage of DSpace globally. We feel the best way to fulfill these goals and produce a number of marketing materials is to form subcommittees. These subcommittees will meet periodically throughout the year to work through and produce materials that will be distributed to the greater DSpace Community via the wiki and soon to be updated DSpace website. Our overall goals that we focus on are: Goal 1: Increase participation in final DSpace 7 work <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Goal+1%3A+Increase+participation+in+final+DSpace+7+work> Goal 2: Identify and promote endorsing institutions <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Goal+2%3A+Identify+and+promote+endorsing+institutions> Goal 3: Early majority: get existing DSpace installations to upgrade <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Goal+3%3A+Early+majority%3A+get+existing+DSpace+installations+to+upgrade> Goal 4: Get non-DSpace users to adopt DSpace 7 / Grow DSpace installation base <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=112525333> Goal 5: Get the late majority and laggard DSpace institutions to upgrade to DSpace 7 <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Goal+5%3A+Get+the+late+majority+and+laggard+DSpace+institutions+to+upgrade+to+DSpace+7> The Marketing Interest group has identified the following subcommittees to form: Group 1: Will work on general DSpace marketing and help guide new and current users as to what is DSpace, what are the features of DSpace, review the DSpace.org website, monitor and update Wikipedia etc. This will help us increase promotion and help increase DSpace usage. (Goals 1, 2, 3, 4,5) Group 2: Will work on Videos and features: this group will create videos and a template for DSpace users to create generic videos showcasing features. *Work with DCAT on videos or documentation to encourage DSpace 7 usage and upgrades (Goals 1, 3, 4, 5) Group 3: Will work on downloadable/sharable DSpace Resource Materials: getting started, checklists for training, promotion and marketing resource guide, etc. (Goals 1, 3, 4, 5) Group 4: Will translate marketing materials, announcements etc. for Global usage of DSpace.(Goals 1,2,3,4,5) There is a lot of work to be done but dividing the work into these subcommittees will help get things done and hopefully, not take up too much time. If you would like to chair one of the subcommittees or join a committee, please email [email protected] or simply add your name under the Group # on https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+7+Marketing+Working+Group.
