[evergreen-outreach] annual report draft

Wed Mar 27 09:19:53 EDT 2024

OK, here come my initial nitpicky copy edits.

   - In Ruth's article, I think we need to add a word in this sentence, "To
   all of you *who* participated..."
   - Hack-a-way (Hackaway?) should be consistent in the report. In the
   title for the hack-a-way article, it uses hyphens. In Ruth's article and in
   the body of the hack-a-way article, it's one word without hyphens. I
   believe the community convention has been to use hyphens.
   - Under our mission, easy-to-use should be hyphenated because it's being
   used as an adjective.
   - Westchester is spelled incorrectly in the 3.11 section.
   - We don't seem to have a consistent way of dealing with the acronyms
   for organizations. In some cases (CW MARS, PINES, ECDI), just the acronym
   is used. In other cases, we use the full name with the acronym followed by
   parentheses. For PaILS, we use the full name without an acronym. I don't
   think we need to make it consistent across the board as it also may affect
   spacing issues, but maybe we can have consistency for each organization. In
   the 3.11 and 3.12  sections, NOBLE and KCLS are handled differently for
   each release. I'm okay with NOBLE just being the acronym without the full
   organization name (I think this will be easier to fix). Perhaps KCLS could
   be King County Library System in both places?
   - My hair is mussed in one of the photos. Can you fix that? Also, I
   appear to be the color of Violet Beauregarde in another photo, but I'm okay
   with that since purple is my favorite color.

Also, the correction that I'm not making is the name for development
meetings. For years, it had been called developer meetings, and I thought
it needed to be corrected. But it looks like Galen updated the name to
development back in 2017 to be more inclusive (gmcharlt++). Developer
meeting is still used in many places in the community. Would somebody be
willing to update the calendar to development meeting? I'll take a stab at
updating wiki pages that refer to the meeting.

As usual, it looks great!

Kathy
