Steering Committee feedback and next Bioschemas Community meeting

Dear Bioschemas community,

We wanted to provide some updates from the Steering Committee, as well 
as solicit feedback on a number of issues that arose during our recent 
Steering meeting.

*Schemas.science*. Due to cross-domain interest in some of our schemas, 
we are launching schemas.science (development at a very early stage). 
This will allow us to to take a sidestep away from the implied ‘bio’ 
focus of ‘BioSchemas’ and encourage uptake in other areas. Subdomains, 
e.g., bio.schemas.science can be used for domain-specific 
specifications. We’d like your insight on:

  * What are the implications?
  * How will this be organised?

*Community calls*. We are looking for input on changing the format of 
community calls

  * To improve inclusiveness, we’d like to move away from excessively
    technical discussions (e.g., GitHub issues).
  * We propose to have first half on ticket discussion, and second half
    for discussions and issues faced by group leads, but are open to
    suggestions of other formats with the goal of making the community
    calls:
      o More interactive
      o A setting for active groups to highlight progress (e.g., provide
        a more ‘show and tell’ setting)

*Community needs*. We are also interested in hearing more about the 
community needs for

  * Tooling: What works well?  What could be improved (and how)? What is
    missing?
  * Training: We want to provide guidance for different CMS systems.
    What are the priority ones?


These topics will be covered in our monthly Bioschemas Community Meeting 
scheduled for next Monday, 22 May 2023 at 17:00 - 18:00 CEST (16:00 - 
17:00 BST, 8:00-9:00 PDT).
