Time Zone Inclusiveness

2023-09-20 Meeting notes Meeting Hygiene and Efficiency Subgroup

Paul Moeller 

Follow up from WOLFCon what can the PC do this year discussions.
It seems we can find a time that works for US ET and Australia/China  (7:00 PM Boston, 8:00 AM Beijing, 9:00 AM Canberra) , or Berlin with China/Australia (2:00 PM Beijing, 4:00 PM Canberra, 8:00 AM Berlin) but finding one that will work for all would be problematic. The best is probably 7 AM Boston, 7 PM Beijing, 9 PM Canberra, 1 PM Berlin. It would be even earlier/later for some of us and other regions may join if we can find a suitable time. Should be consider alternating times once or twice a month?

Entities Management followup. Will reach out to the MM-SIGFeedback from MM SIG conveners regarding final report from the Entity Management Working Group
2023-08-31 Metadata Management Meeting notes

Should the MM SIG take over Entity Management work (or at least be the lead), should it be a new SIG, under another group, etc.? Then it was pointed out how much MM SIG already has responsibility for and that there are other groups like Acquisitions and ERM that would have a big stake in this as well.

Charlotte Whitt and Jennifer Eustis will speak with MM SIG conveners.

but PC notified and had an initial discussion on  

 SIG Reports subgroup is addressing this issue Does the Entity Management group fall under MM SIG or is it a SIG on its own?

Need for additional Product Ownersfrom Jesse Koennecke Jesse is discussing needs with Khalilah

While this remains an issue, I think this particular instance of trying to make progress is done.  Should probably discuss with others before removing. - Jesse

 


Translation of documentation
  • automated translation of https://docs.folio.org/docs/ possible?
  • would be preferable solution (sustainability)

  • German institutions have tested https://www.deepl.com/translator. This service produces better results in translation than e.g.  google translate, tested in day-to-day work 

  • API available, free version as well as DeepL Pro

  • glossary allows definition of how to translate words (often specific translation for library terminology needed)

  • topic for ?
  • Documentation SIG is taking care of translations

Review the status of the calendar app.From 2021-08-05 Product Council Meeting Notes

Cheryl will work more on the specifications of the problem, bringing in others from the RA SIG and FOLIO implementers as well as possibly developers from the Vega team.  This will likely then come back to product council.

Establish criteria for newly developed apps and code contributions

From 2021-09-16 Product Council Meeting Notes

From 2021-09-30 Product Council Meeting notes

In coordination with Technical Council and Community Council, what is PC's criteria for accepting contributed code.  What alternatives exist if a contribution is not accepted; what does it mean if something is not accepted. In the context of the LDP inclusion discussion, the PC identified the need for its own criteria for accepting apps into the reference environments.  For instance, does an app meet the style guidelines?  And later in the meeting, is there a support commitment from the developers?

FOLIO Scope Criteria Group formed, meeting starting in December 2021. Update in June.
