LISTSERV 16.5 - DLF-ANNOUNCE Archives

***Please excuse cross-posting.***

Dear Spotlight adopters & the Spotlight-curious,

As shared in our December save the date, the Spotlight-focused teams at Harvard and Stanford, met regularly in the last quarter of 2023 to plan a unique event: the “Spotlight on Spotlight” summit, scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

Our goals for this summit are:

To rejuvenate the community forum around Spotlight, encouraging sharing and collaboration.
To provide an engaging platform for those who are curious about Spotlight.
To revisit and update the Spotlight Community Roadmap that was initiated in 2019, and identify the priorities of our community.
To gauge interest and availability for a focused community sprint.

The summit will consist of 3 one-hour sessions, on 25 Jan, 8 Feb, and 22 Feb at 10:00 am PST, 11:00 am MST, 12:00 pm CST, 1:00 pm EST.

Additional Zoom call-in information

Sessions will be as follows:

Session 1, 25 Jan - Harvard presents: from Spotlight 2.0 to 3.0; Community Roadmap introduction & discussion
Session 2, 8 Feb - Deep dive into institutional concerns and opportunities - further exploration of the Roadmap
Session 3, 22 Feb - Discuss new Spotlight community directions; explore community sprint possibilities

Please note, the final session scheduled for 22 Feb MAY be changed if there is group consensus. This is due to a children's school break that coincides for many folks.

We kindly request that if you plan on attending, please take a moment now to add your name and a brief description of your organization on the Pre-meeting Introductions page. Code of conduct guidance for the summit is available on each of the above-listed session agendas.

Each session will start promptly on the hour. The Zoom room will open 10 minutes prior to allow for light socializing and settling in. We have also allocated an optional 30 minutes after each session for further discussion and networking.

Rest assured, all sessions will be facilitated, have clear agendas, dedicated note-takers, and will be recorded for future reference.

We sincerely hope you'll consider joining us for this exciting event. Let's put the spotlight back on Spotlight together!
