Vince makes the problem statement: "Folio is stuck in a mode of monolithic releases which are ever increasing in size"

Problems from the PC perspective (draft suggestions only):

Hard for PC to fulfil it's responsibilities in regards the 'product' where we lack a definition of what the "product" is
- Includes the time necessary for App / Module evaluation issue as well as the issue that this has not proved particularly effective so far
  - e.g. Translation app "approved" but not part of product - functionality was desirable but implementation was not accepted by
  - OA app approved but failed TC evaluation
  - Lists app not approved by PC but already going through TC evaluation
Overhead of a "Flower release" - on the product and the wider community (testing)
Ever growing "product" as it's hard to rule out functionality that is useful to at least one library
Overhead for hosting institutions and service providers in managing and upgrading Folio installations

...

Problem statements: What are challenges we currently see with the Product? What impact will these changes have on these challenges? 5-10 of these?

Releases
- Large overhead of a Flower release
- Balance between stability vs new functionality
- Deadlines for release cause bottlenecks especially in relation to new modules
- Overhead for hosting institutions and service providers in managing and upgrading Folio installations
Product functionality
- Ever growing "product" as it's hard to rule out functionality that is useful to at least one library
- Struggle to have a definition of the 'product' that the "Product Council" is responsible for

What stage are we at?

General discussion of how to move forward?

...

- Product side - take a look at how we do releases going forward.

Deliverables:

- List of questions - some may come from TC, some from PC, some from other channels

What is PCs role(s) in a project to implement this
Is there code already written as if this is in place?
Are we reacting to something already in motion, or are we recommending a path forward?

- Present to PC prior to Tri-Council (by October 5)

To Do:

Jesse - gather recordings and slide decks - some may need to be edited from a longer multi-session videvideo.

Jesse - Set up meetings - weekly at least until October same time slot 8:30 Eastern - Monday
