Scheduled 10:30-11:50am

Session Description: FOLIO’s success as a community open-source project depends upon an engaged membership. We will provide a brief update on the current state of membership and resourcing. We will then discuss a number of current challenges and opportunities including: the FOLIO developer advocate role, shared infrastructure and DevOps support, evolution of FOLIO as a result of the application formalization process, and the roles and expectations of members. We will then facilitate a forward-looking brainstorming session before wrapping up with a discussion of next steps. This session is designed for decision makers and those providing supporting analysis and implementation project management. Representatives from all FOLIO member libraries, networks and vendors, as well as those interested in membership, are encouraged to attend.
