AtoM Portugal Users Group

Visão geral

Prática
Somos um grupo de utilizadores do Access to Memory (AtoM), uma solução Open Source para gestão e publicação de Arquivos, que sentiu a falta de um canal de comunicação em língua portuguesa para promover a entreajuda na sua utilização e implementação.

À imagem do Google Group AtoM Users , tomámos a iniciativa de criar esta lista de correio (mailing list) na sequência das "II Jornadas de Open Source - BAD", realizadas a 17 Outubro 2016 na Universidade Aveiro. Usámos para o efeito a plataforma aberta e independente SourceForge, que suporta milhares de projetos de Software Livre/Open Source.

Propósito
Convidamos todos os interessados na utilização da solução AtoM a inscrever-se e participar nesta lista de correio, enviando as suas dúvidas e dificuldades e ajudando os restantes através de simples mensagens de correio eletrónico.

Para começar deve inscrever-se, indicando o seu endereço de correio eletrónico no campo “*O seu endereço de email*” da seguinte página:

Irá posteriormente receber uma mensagem para efetuar a confirmação da sua inscrição.

Assim estará apto a receber mensagens deste grupo e a participar nele, bastando responder ou enviar novas mensagens para o endereço: atom-pt-geral@...

A qualquer momento poderá cancelar a sua inscrição. Aguardamos pela sua inscrição e participação.

(Translation)

Overview
We are a group of users of Access to Memory (AtoM), an Open Source solution for managing and publishing Files, who felt the lack of a communication channel in Portuguese to promote mutual help in its use and implementation.

Like the Google Group AtoM Users, we took the initiative to create this mailing list following the "II Open Source Conferences - BAD", held on 17 October 2016 at the Aveiro University.

For this purpose, we used the open and independent platform SourceForge, which supports thousands of Free Software/Open Source projects.

Purpose
We invite everyone interested in using the AtoM solution to sign up and participate in this mailing list, sending their questions and difficulties and helping others through simple email messages.

To get started, you must sign up, indicating your email address in the “*Your email address*” field on the following page:

You will subsequently receive a message to confirm your registration.

This way you will be able to receive messages from this group and participate in it, simply by replying or sending new messages to the address: atom-pt-geral@...

You can cancel your registration at any time. We look forward to your registration and participation.

AtoM United Kingdom Users Group

Background
AtoM UK Users’ Group was established in 2017 and the first meeting of the group was held in September 2017. As of September 2017 the group had 48 members representing 40 institutions.

Purpose
The AtoM UK Users’ Group provides a friendly and informal forum for UK users to discuss AtoM and share experiences, workflows and use cases. It enables members to get feedback on their own work with AtoM and benefit from the experience of other users.

The group is open to individuals and organisations in the UK who are actively using, exploring or testing AtoM.

It is also open to representatives from user communities who are not using AtoM themselves but who can keep abreast with the group and signpost and promote us and our activities.

It is also open to relevant tool and service providers (particularly those that AtoM relies on) to enable open discussion on how these tools may be used within AtoM or enhanced.

Members may come from a variety of backgrounds and job roles - for example, archivists, librarians, curators, research data managers, IT staff.

There are no restrictions on the number of members, though individual meetings will have an upper limit for number of attendees.

Although originally established as a UK group, there has been some interest from Europe (and further afield) and we are happy to welcome other AtoM users to our meetings and email list if they are interested.

Meetings
The UK AtoM group meets 1/2 times per year in different locations around the UK or online.

The venue and format of the meetings will vary but they are intended to be friendly and informal and enable members to see how others are using AtoM and openly discuss what is and isn’t working well.

E-mail group
The UK AtoM e-mail list is used to organise UK meetings, continue discussions and share documents after our meetings, share updates and progress reports and discuss ideas and areas for future collaboration. The group communicates via a JISC-mail listserv established as a private group . Only list members can see the posts to this group. The e-mail archive is not public.

Anne Barrett, Imperial College London, and Silvia Gallotti, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), own and manage this list and can invite and add new members as appropriate.

The UK AtoM e-mail list is not intended to duplicate the AtoM User Forum. Members of the UK group are encouraged to use the main user forum for help, advice and technical queries about AtoM.

Document sharing
All group members have access to a Google drive where relevant documents and presentations from meetings can be accessed. These documents are organised according to date of meeting.

Web presence
The group has no web site but has access to an area of the AtoM wiki where summary information about the group is held: https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/Community/Groups/UK. This page can be edited by anyone with an AtoM wiki account.
