The document outlines the planned work for the second year of the Europeana Cloud project across its seven work packages. It includes developing tools and services for researchers, continuing to build out the technical infrastructure including a content cloud, ingesting more metadata and first content, establishing business and access models, refining communications, and ongoing project management activities. Key upcoming sessions at the assembly include assessing researcher needs, introducing the technical architecture, reviewing first year tool development, and discussions on operating guidelines and outreach.
