Continue the discussion from last week of the Tech Council Charter review. Those deliverables are substantial, and probably need to be (a) revisited and (b) better surfaced within the larger FOLIO community.

• Hkaplanian reached out to Marc Johnson last week to ask if the TC had a documented process for this.
• It also came up in the release status meeting that there are external projects that have requested to be included in the official distribution
• And it came up during the TC's conversation about it's charter
• This also came up as part of a conversation about inclusion of LDP in the FOLIO release.  
  • From Mike Gorrell:  We discussed the LDP App at Community Council today. We agreed that it was a PC decision on whether they wanted the LDP App included in FOLIO Releases, and the TC's role to define a process for an App that's compatible with FOLIO but not part of the FOLIO code repository to be included in FOLIO Releases.
• This is not the first time this, or very similar topics have come up.  Given how busy our agenda has been lately, it's probably a good idea to ask for a volunteer to lead this effort, with most of the leg-work being done by a subgroup.  The TC would review once something is ready.

• Define what constitutes Platform vs LSP Base vs Extended Apps on an ongoing basis
  • Raised as part of last weeks review of the TC Charter
  • Could be combined with the Kafka and Min.io topics below
• FOLIO Architectural Blueprint / Roadmap
  • Raised as part of last weeks review of the TC Charter
• Accept Kafka into the FOLIO platform
  • Recently I've been asked if Kafka is part of the FOLIO platform and can be used by modules
  • At the moment, Kafka is not an official part of the FOLIO platform and modules can only use it with approval
  • Given the increasing use of Kafka, I propose we discuss making it an official part of the platform that all modules can use
• Accept Min.io into the FOLIO platform
  • Recently I've been asked if min.io is part of the FOLIO platform and can be used by modules
  • At the moment, Min.io / S3 integration is not an official part of the FOLIO platform, yet it is being used by modules
  • Given that folks need a persistent file storage mechanism, I propose we discuss making it an official part of the platform that all modules can use
