Announcement: It Takes A Village Open-Source Software Sustainability Toolkit 
and New Website Launch

We are excited to announce the launch of the It Takes a Village (ITAV) 
Open-Source Software Sustainability toolkit<https://itav.lyrasis.org/toolkit/> 
and new website<https://itav.lyrasis.org/>. The ITAV in Practice 
Toolkit<https://itav.lyrasis.org/toolkit/> is an adaptable set of tools that 
enables all stakeholders in an open-source software (OSS) program to 
participate in an assessment of each facet of sustainability, develop balanced 
strategies to advance sustainability goals and integrate sustainability plans 
into other organizational planning efforts.  This work builds on the previous 
It Takes a Village Open-Source Software Guidebook, created with the support of 
the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).  The new website —  
itav.lyrasis.org<https://itav.lyrasis.org/> — includes the guidebook, toolkit, 
and community case studies. 
You can see the full announcement and acknowledgements for all those who gave 
so generously of their thoughts and time 
here<https://lyrasisnow.org/it-takes-a-village-itav-in-practice-toolkit-and-website/>.

Best wishes,
