1:00-2:30pm | arXiv Special Projects: Review of Special Projects and Additional Funding Needs The current 5-year business plan represents a baseline maintenance scenario. It was developed based on an analysis of the arXiv's baseline expenses during 2010-2012. It does not factor in any new functionality requirements or other unforeseen resource needs. Although a development reserve was established to fund such expenses, it is not sufficient to subsidize significant development efforts through surplus funds. Stewardship of resources such as arXiv involves not only covering the operational costs but also continuing to enhance their value based on the needs of the user community and the evolving patterns and modes of scholarly communication. We need to pursue grants and engage in collaborations to secure additional funds. See: 2015 arXiv Roadmap |
2:30-3:00pm | Conclusions - Review of the meeting outcomes
- Any feedback, questions, recommendations for arXiv team
