Call-in information and agenda will be made available before the call. Keep an eye out for those in the next week or so. Linked below also is the Project Symposium White Paper, which was the first project milestone event (March 4th & 5th, 2019) and the kick-off for all of the great work ahead. We will have two additional draft white papers available later this month on our Governance Workshop and Technical Planning Meeting, both of which were held this Summer (June). Stay tuned for those! https://www.gvsu.edu/cms4/asset/0862059E-9024-5893-1B5AAAC2F83BDDD8/gvsu_stepping_stones_symposium_wp_final.pdf<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gvsu.edu%2Fcms4%2Fasset%2F0862059E-9024-5893-1B5AAAC2F83BDDD8%2Fgvsu_stepping_stones_symposium_wp_final.pdf&data=02%7C01%7CWhiteS29%40michigan.gov%7Cf94fd756ef264ce67c9c08d71c108a6f%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C637008729675279386&sdata=nRfqqCselSGgNes8BN6OInv28dSADpTu70y1I03Mmo4%3D&reserved=0> Thanks, -- Matt Schultz Curation and Digital Preservation Librarian Grand Valley State University Libraries schultzm@gvsu.edu<mailto:schultzm@gvsu.edu> 616-331-5072
