Old METS news on the landing page

New items about this years activities should be added to front page news and during the discussion other update and fixes for the LOC webpages came up. Karin writes a Google doc detailing changes needed for the front-page news/news & announcements.

Inform about the Schema update on the METS list

Aaron will send an email to the METS-list before end of year.

Moving the METS tools listing to COPTR

The METS Tools & Utilities page at http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets-tools.html was decided to be replaced by adding the information to Community Owned digital Preservation Tool Registry website (https://coptr.digipres.org) COPTR already has pages for software that uses METS in some capacity. The registry is Wiki-based and allows for easier updating and crowdsourcing of the information.

A new category for METS will be created and it will be added to existing pages. New pages will be created for software that don't yet have a page in COPTR. Juha will investigate this further. The plan is to create howto instructions for adding the information and sent them to METS list for crowdsourcing.

Call for new board members

There haven't been any comments regarding the updated Board membership Criteria or Business Procedures documents. These documents need to be updated to LOC webpages before sending out the call for new members. Aaron will accept the applications.

METS overview and translations

Translations are done for German, Italian, Russian and now Spanish. Aaron will sent them to Karin to be included in the LOC webpage update request.

Xlink issues

Xlink issue will be discussed in a separate meeting. Suitable date will be polled with Doodle.
