Existing SIGs

FOLIO Special Interest Groups (SIG)

...

Priority SIGs will be generated from goals and deliverables outlined in the FOLIO Roadmap. A SIG is created by way of a Proposal for Engagementa proposal to the Product Council with a specific charge for the SIG.  The proposal should contain the name of the SIG, a paragraph describing the purpose of the SIG, contact information for the convener, connections with Product Owners as appropriate, the names of other interested participants for the group, and (when appropriate) expectations for outcomes from the SIG.  New SIG Proposal for Engagement documents proposals are reviewed by the Product Council to ensure any overlap with other SIGs is intentional and that related SIGs know about each other’s work.  SIGs may revise their Proposal for Engagement charge at any time, and SIGs automatically renew each year when there is substantial activity in the preceding 12 months.  SIGs that do not meet this requirement may be retired and archived by decision of the Product Council. 

Check the SIG Setup Checklist for setting up communications resources for your team.

Communication and Identification

To facilitate activity, SIGs have Wiki space for documents and Slack channel for asynchronous and synchronous communication, and access to online meetings.  (See Communications wiki page).  SIGs have a name (e.g. “Authentication/Authorization”) and a short token (e.g. “AUTH”) that will be consistently used across all communication platforms.

Each SIG will be set up as a Confluence Space on https://wiki.folio.org/ and put into the ‘SIG’ category.  The Confluence Space identifier is the SIG’s token.  Regular SIG participants are encouraged to set up a profile in wiki.folio.org that, at a minimum, contains each member’s name, contact information, company/institutional affiliation and job title.   SIG wikispaces will have a blueprint that:

• Records its Proposal for Engagement/Charge
• Adds meeting agendas/notes page templates
• Request for Engagement template
• Home page template
  

Each SIG will have a Channel on Slack. The channel name will be the SIG’s short token.
