20180919 Technical Council Meeting Notes

Update on stakeholder meeting held in Boston last week

3 new teams joining FOLIO - planning

Workflow engine PoC, stakeholders approved PoC and provided funding, will contract with BP3 for some input.

Increased support for stable demo environment

MV: is demo.folio.org insufficient? From Winkler and others it does not seem to be mature, there were issues with the demo in California.

Problems had nothing to do with the FOLIO, but with some integrations that were not yet stable.

There have been problems with just sharing the main admin login. Need abetter way to provide full access, rather than sharing admin login broadly.

EBSCO plan to fund more dev teams.

MV: have interviewed folks from EPAM, read to form 3 teams. in phases

First team will work closely with Stacks on Acquisitions

Around Oct. 1, other teams will start. Assignments are not yet determined.

Initial funding approved for next quarter, maybe reassess over 

Q (Tod): How do we keep that sustainable?

One of EPAM team combination of FSE and Stacks, PO is Anne-Marie. Stacks backlog is large, and they are are down to one developer.

The very first EPAM team has Batch Loader, A-M will still be 25% PO on the, Tiana is the EPAM scrum master and will also take PO responsibilities

Other areas for EPAM teams may include password management, and OAI-PHM (needed by Chalmers), maybe e-Holdings phase 2.

Gorrell will facilitate discussion next week about how to coordinate between GBV and EPAM so work is not duplicated

Update on approval, PoC schedule, SOW with BP3
