Working Group
The Community Engagement Collaborative is a new group that will support ongoing engagement both within the SPN community and with the broader digital and software preservation community. The collaborative will help plan both internal and external events that span focus areas, support new member on-boarding, and consider methods for engaging with other complementary organizations (i.e., SSI, RDA, DPC, Software Heritage, etc.). The group will also implement strategies and policies to ensure community engagement is in-line with SPN strategic goals and values to support an inclusive, positive, and respectful environment for participation. One of the group’s first tasks will be to establish an action plan, which may include things like organizing events or discussions on different software preservation topics; updating the SPN code of conduct; and developing member onboarding activities or materials.
In 2022, the Training & Education Working Group combined forces with the Community Engagement Collaborative.
