Meeting Notes

Continued discussion of how the Outreach WG can implement the NDSA “news bureau,” concentrating efforts on working to leverage the “news bureau” in support of the rollout of the 2014 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship document.

The draft “National Agenda” document has been distributed to the NDSA-ALL listserv and your comments are encouraged.

Immediate work is in two areas. First is the “Spreadsheet of NDSA Organizational Contacts” at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/images/1/19/NDSAContacts-v2.xls

Volunteers are dividing up the work to gather “communication professional” contacts at each organization.

Also shared a draft press release for the Agenda doc which is being reviewed.

Spent a little time discussing progress on the Digital Stewardship Now tool being developed by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. Further information is at: http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Digital_Stewardship_Now!

A separate "data call" will be made to the NDSA-ALL list to start gathering RSS feeds and other inputs to the DSN! tool.
