Hello Archipelago Community,

Hope you all had a great summer and are having a lovely autumn so far!

It’s been a bit quiet on this group forum for most of 2022, but this has been a year of amazing growth and project development for Archipelago, METRO’s Digital Services Team, and our awesome collaborators and partners. Moving forward, we are hoping to drop off and receive more updates and notes here, on this group forum, from all our varied fronts on a regular basis. Please always feel free to post about your/your institution’s projects or plans, and ask questions or raise use cases anytime.

In general, much of our collective engagement and daily interactions happen over on the Archipelago Slack. You can join here if you’re not already a member: https://join.slack.com/t/archipelagocommons/shared_invite/zt-1g66bqxbl-trkVHyaWJDxwIyj99MMTMg. We’d love to see you on the channel if you’re interested!

For a reference of the happenings, sharing key highlights from Archipelago Slack statistics from January 1, 2022 - September 19, 2022: 

  • 25 new members added; 92 total members
  • Total messages posted: 47,189
    • Split between Public, Private (METRO team and project partners/groups) and 1:1 DMs
  • Files uploaded (screenshots, documents, etc.): 573
  • Average number of members posting messages
    • Daily: 5-6
    • Weekly: 15-16

Another great way to keep in the loop on Archipelago developments is to watch the repos at https://github.com/esmero/. Please consider starring and subscribing to updates, sharing your feedback on open or creating new Issues.

Thank you everyone for all of your engagement and collaboration over the first three quarters of 2022! Looking forward to hearing and seeing more about all of your great work in the days ahead!

Allison

Best,

Hey Kameelah!

Thanks for your response! We do not currently have any upcoming general Archipelago meetings or trainings at the moment, but will be planning some for early winter. We will announce those events here a little later in autumn.

In addition to joining the Archipelago Slack, a great way to dive in is by deploying a local Archipelago instance following the guide found here:

Please let us know how everything goes if you go the local deployment route, and hope to see you around on our Slack channel too!

Thanks again,
Allison
