Samvera Virtual Connect (SVC), is an opportunity for Samvera Community participants to gather online to touch base on the progress of community efforts at a roughly halfway point between face-to-face Samvera Connect meetings. Samvera is a growing, active community with many initiatives taking place across interest groups, working groups, local and collaborative development projects, and other efforts, and it can be difficult for community members to keep up with all of this activity on a regular basis. SVC will give the Samvera community a chance to come together to catch up on developments, make new connections, and re-energize itself towards Samvera Connect 2020. SVC 2020 took place against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sudden, sad death of Julie Allinson a pivotal member of the Samvera Community, The pandemic meant that Connect 2020 was already being planned as an on-line event.
