Thoughts on Cloud Apps

Are there concerns with using Cloud Apps

10

Gem

I ran into a cloud app that might be potentially useful (OCLC metadata app for SCP). However, I vaguely recall there were concerns around using them. Anyone else remember?

There are no technical problems with experimenting with existing other people’s Cloud Apps.

 

4

SILS connect

Brainstorm reasons for necessity of a group at all

Review the charge for sils connect & see if some other format or formation would make more sense?

SILS Connect proposal

  • What opportunities are there to collaborate? Are there existing problems that require collaboration?

  • Should we (who is “we”? shall we be broad?) start with a discussion of needs and gaps?

Discussion:

  • There’s not really a need for SOC to have this; but do others further away from SILS need a group?

  • Seems like keeping the slack channel for occasional posts makes sense but concluding the formal charge

  • How do you communicate with other CDL stakeholders is a bigger question

  • What about a directory page for who does what in SILS at CDL? YES

  • What do we do about communication / communication plan?

    • What is it that needs to be communicated? Why?

    • Lightweight plan: here are the stakeholders, how to share out info, when do we know a meeting is needed?

(1) Disband SILS Connect group

(2) Keep the Slack channel

(3) Create a SILS-CDL directory

Refine the communications plan at the next meeting.
@Caitlin Nelson to create the SILS-CDL directory draft
@Caitlin Nelson to draft a disbanding-the-connect-group memo
