Juniper Release Status

Trying to get Juniper released by next week - have lots of unclaimed "smoke tests" due this week... please for help. Messages going out to #general and #folio-implementers



Code of Conduct

An update on the Code of Conduct and a request for consideration of funding for the Community Support Volunteers

 40 minutesSummary of open actions, tasks and to-dos for the Community council. Discuss and revise NEXT STEPs as necessary.

 The Community Council has created the following subgroups and actions that are in process:

Grants Group

  • Have identified grant opportunities
  • Upcoming IMLS grant has a deadline of September 24, 2021 for grants to begin August 1, 2022
  • We don't have clear communication channels to use. NEXT STEPS: See the Communications Channels topic

New Members Group

Discuss forming a team that can reach out to networks and libraries to ask what would make membership worthwhile to them.

    • NEXT STEP - setup a subgroup of librarians, network people : (Kirstin), Simeon - need X more volunteers


2. Start a discussion with library IT to build a list of concerns and needs that FOLIO must support for approval and adoption.

    • NEXT STEP: setup a subgroup of Technical people:  Ian Ibbotson, Mike G. volunteered - need X More volunteers


Goals and Objectives reviews

  • We reviewed the project's list and identified which ones would be driven solely or partially by CC
  • NEXT STEP - review list and identify FY22 goals

FOLIO WOLFcon planning

  • Discussed need for planning well in advance  
  • NEXT STEP: form a WOLFcon Planning group. Mike has reached out to PC/TC chairs to have the topic raised at their next meeting. Also asked on the #general channel for planning committee volunteers. He's volunteered to lead the FOLIO WOLFcon Planning Group


Communication channels

  • We have Constant Contact list that is added to when people register for community updates on folio.org
  • We have mailing lists as seen at https://ole-lists.openlibraryfoundation.org/ that are self-managed (mostly)
  • We have Slack, Twitter and Website(s)
  • We don't have a consistent plan for how and when to use each of these
  • NEXT STEP: Form a subgroup to map out how each of these may be used. Mike, Tom and Rachel have volunteered

Meeting times and other collaboration protocols

  • Given the growing international presence and desire for global engagement we need to rethink some of the initial standard patterns that the project adopted in terms of how decisions get made (in meetings where people are present) and meeting times (typically early New York/Eastern Time).
  • Raised the question about how we collaborate and make decisions; can we be more asynchronous; can the Discuss tool be more useful
  • A Subgroup was formed to generate ideas
  • NEXT STEPS:
    • Explore whether DISCUSS Can use the same authentication as Jira/Wiki - NOT AT THIS TIME
    • setup a DISCUSS conversation on this conversation as a trial
    • Document other potential standards for Councils/SIGs to consider adopting

Onboarding

  • Discussed how important this is.
  • Did a CC session for the onboarding video series
  • NEXT STEPS: Determine what actions are necessary/make sense
