TopicNotes
New Facilitator (Ian Walls!) vision

Goal:  Make the Implementation Group the go-to place for "how do I...?" and "are you seeing this?" type questions for the FOLIO Community

Strategies:

  1. Focus on asynchronous discussion (via Slack) rather than synchronous discussion (via Zoom).
  2. Work closely with other key groups, such as: data migration, sysops, support SIG, documentation
  3. Create a searchable archive of answers to community questions

Meetings are for discussions and presentations.  Slack channel #folio-implementers is go-to place for questions (and hopefully answers)
Patty: it would be great to have a more interactive implementers group, need more people to come to meetings.
Topic: have circ folks talk about their loan policy settings once a quarter. Less prep-heavy sessions, lots of presentations, helping each other. Thoughout the year, run through all the modules (in presentations).
Tod: How to swap practical advice.  Maybe some adjacent topics, not just FOLIO, “how we interact with the registrar” etc

Searchable archive:
Tod: how often would answers change. Slack answers are hard to find.
Darsi: pointers instead to wiki documentation, GitHub?
Patty: have had to hunt through wiki is hard.  Q&A is all over the place, so would be amazing to have in one place.
Ian: hoping to create some automation. Bywater is working on having documentation.  Wants to create a proof of concept and see if it will fly, figure out how to keep it up to date, more folks contribute to it, later.

Planning upcoming presentation/discussion topics

Jan 11:  Cornell Circ Desk issues/recommendations w/ Holly Mistlebauer 

Other possible topics to discuss synchronously:

  • LibCal integration
  • externally-managed data processing workflows (bulk item moves)
  • overview of how to migrate
  • tags.  uses, etc

If no agenda, we won’t meet.  Will make sure we do have an agenda/meeting at least once a month (Ian will take responsibility for this).

Kara: general conversation and questions as an agenda topic occasionally, would be helpful for new folks to the community who aren’t sure where to surface their question
