Agenda
1. Approve notes from May 14 call at https://wiki.folio.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=14452135. No changes suggested.
2. Further thoughts on WOLFcon. None.
3. FOLIO pop-up session at SAA in D.C. in August (see May 14 call notes); other outreach efforts. Erin Faulder is working on the pop-up session proposal and will submit it by the May 31 deadline. She needs volunteers to help co-steer the session. It is important to get FOLIO in front of the SAA community, and vice-versa. Aaron Trehub will start drafting an open comment document for SAA members on Google Docs or the FOLIO Google Drive space.
4. SC&A white paper for FOLIO SIGs. At this point, the best way to keep SC&A issues in front of the FOLIO SIGs is through a white paper. Some of the main areas to cover in the white paper are Metadata, Discovery, and Interoperability.
5. Other business. There was some discussion of the vendor community's role on the SC&A WG and in FOLIO generally. It is good to have vendors involved, but there has to be an understanding that the FOLIO SIGs and the SC&A WG are not sales venues. That said, vendor involvement in FOLIO can promote a better understanding of context and expectations on both sides. It can also help vendors see FOLIO as a value proposition. In the SC&A area, Sebastian Hammer mentioned that Atlas Systems (the producer of Aeon) is getting involved in FOLIO.
The call ended at 11:20 AM Eastern/10:20 AM Central. The group decided not to have a call on Monday, May 28 because of the Memorial Day holiday in the United States. The next call will be on Monday, June 4 at the same time and Zoom address.
