Discussion items:
Noting that we are a maturing community and the current cadence can be dropped back. Once a month? Once every-other month? Roadmap updates after each release. Other, more general, topics to be picked up by the OLF Outreach SIG.
| Item | Who | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Product Owner session | Peter Murray to talk with Jessie, otherwise drop and notify Outreach SIG. | Comments from Product Owners: > I agree with Holly. An MVP update is a great topic for the forum. > as with as Holly's suggestion for a forum on MVP, I think forums on specific topics would be more appropriate than a general forum on the outcomes of the F2F (which was quite varied in its discussions and outcomes). > From my perspective most of the F2F was about pursuing conversations that relate to specific bits of functionality within ERM, all a bit too granular for a Forum I think Market-Viable Product. Is this a good Forum topic, though? Seems more like a document or blog post. Instead, have a session with Jessie with outcomes from the F2F meeting and outlining the MVP? If not, push out the F2F outcomes in other ways. Can also share out the notes/documents from the F2F meeting in different ways. |
Dropped: Panel Discussion of Vendor Partners and Libraries | Moderator: Peter Murray | Last call we though that the ER&L recording was the best example of this, and now that the ER&L recording is online we can drop this as a Forum topic. |
RFPs in the Open Source Age | Bump up to OLF. | Our community needs to help change the conversation around RFPs. FOLIO doesn't fit around the RFP structure. FOLIO itself is free, so there shouldn't be an RFP around it; and RFP would be about implementation and support around a FOLIO implementation. Panel among libraries and vendors? Brendan from ByWater. Peter from Index Data. Someone from EBSCO. |
FOSS Communities from a mature open source community | Bump up to OLF. | Sustainability of FOLIO. Hearkens back to a panel Peter moderated about different open source community practices. Panel featuring communities around the OLF. "Intro to the OLF communities" VuFind/Coral/FOLIO/ReShare. |
?September???: Open Library Foundation | Host: Ginny Boyer | To talk holistically about the communities in the Foundation: the ones that exist, the ones that are coming on. Talk about the idea of scope for the FOLIO project as it relates to the goals of these communities coming onboard. To include members of the OLF Board, ideally. Also talk about the transition of OLF leadership. Branding as "OLF Forum" versus "FOLIOForum" Rachel reached out to Ginny about this. September might be good timing. Gather interest in WOLFcon in Texas in January 2020; ALA Midwinter Jan 17-20 then WOLFcon. |
Decision-making tools | Bump up to OLF. | Tools for making decisions. How to make lazy consensus. Part of the general track of WOLFcon? |
Role of Subject-Matter Experts in FOLIO | Keep as a FOLIO Forum. | As a part of onboarding new people into the community. Similar to what we did in the past where we had what each of the SIG conveners talk about what they are doing and how people can get involved. Series of presentations from PC Chair, SIG Convener, UX Designer, Product Owner, Developer – how does everyone work all together. Possibly part of the general track of WOLFcon? |
Tips and Tricks for Documenting a Project | Part of the general track of WOLFcon? | |
