Agenda

Questions for everyone:

  • Please introduce yourself & your organization
  • Tell us a little bit about what you will use CSpace for
  • Update everyone on your project's progress
  • Let us know if you've talked about ways to realize your MH list.
    • If so, what new functionality are you planning to develop?
    • If not, is there something blocking you that could be remedied?
      • Answer: Lack of resources
      • Answer: Lack of technical expertise

Goals

  • Learn more about each other's organizations and projects
