Hi Mehmet

That’s great, just what I was looking for. I wanted to check in case there were any sensitivities.

Best wishes

Anna

Hi Anna

I personally don’t see an issue discussing this with WMPromus in the room. They’re a corporate member, they work with several universities (Inc. Greenwich) and are vendor agnostic. If their representative decides to sit in on that session then they can bring a different perspective to it e.g. Uni A has done this, Uni B has done that etc.

Sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick, I think that’s what you meant?

Thanks

Mehmet

Subject: [EXTERNAL] BoF sessions for March London Group meeting

Hi All

I’ve been trying to think of some BoF session topics for the next meeting. The first one was based on a discussion on the Infrastructure mailing list (see attached) and it gives a BoF with a strong technical focus. But I could do with a sense check please – do you think people will be okay to speak freely on this topic with WMPromus in the room?

The business relationship one is nice and general and could suit the smallest to the largest institution. Julian from Goldsmiths is the only BRM who attends frequently but we everyone has this function in their role.

Please could you suggest a third choice?

14:00

Birds of a Feather discussions with peers (choose one but delegates may move around during the session)

Containerised workloads – who’s using what?
Business relationship management – how are we doing in our universities and colleges. Come and discuss the formal and informal practices in your institution.

Best wishes

Anna
