Forum went well. Went in some different directions from MidWinter. 34 attendees. Noted that FOLIO representation needs some differentiation from other open source projects - talking points regarding participation of commercial interests: quality, timeliness, sustainability, funding, resources, etc.
Hkaplanian can do, needs partner to demo. Rather than developers, the product owners will present what their teams. Peter will send an email out to product owners.
Need to stress how many developers are involved in the project. In the wrap up at the end?
Peter Murray will rework description based on the product owners involvement.
