Dear Samvera Colleagues,
The Samvera Virtual Connect committee is delighted to announce the opening of registration and release of the program for Virtual Connect 2019. Samvera Virtual Connect (SVC) is an opportunity for Samvera Community participants to gather online to touch base on the progress of community efforts at a roughly halfway point between face-to-face Samvera Connect meetings. Samvera is a growing, active community with many initiatives taking place across interest groups, working groups, local and collaborative development projects, and other efforts, and it can be difficult for community members to keep up with all of this activity on a regular basis. Samvera Virtual Connect gives the community a change to come together and catch up on developments, make new connections, and re-energize itself in anticipation of the next Samvera Connect. The program: Samvera Connect will take place on both April 23rd and 24th, running from 11:00 AM until about 2:30 PM Eastern. The full program, including estimated times of presentations, is now available. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Samvera+Virtual+Connect+2019+Program You do not need to stay online for the entire program. Video recordings will be made available after the conclusion of the meetings. In order to attend: There is no cost to attend Virtual Connect 2019, but we do require registration. Registration is open to anyone, whether they are currently active in the Samvera Community or learning more about the activities of Samvera.
