  • FOLIO China conference is going on this week. 600 people have registered to attend the onsite conference as of last Friday. The conference is held in hybrid mode. The number of people attending the meeting online needs to be confirmed by post-meeting statistics.
  • Onboarding Group update: the group thought they should try out the presentation before LC; the tentative date is next Friday at 9am for a Stanford audience with a range of experience with FOLIO.

BugFest getting underway and release notes updates

It's not too late to participate!

Oleksandr Bashtynskyi Oleksii Petrenko 

66% of the test cases have been claimed. Bugfest will start on Monday.

Oleksii Petrenko has started the release digest and gave a preview of what it will contain. The video will come out tomorrow. Oleksii is looking for help from Product Council in generating the release digest presentation and video. He estimates it takes 1-2 days after the release date to create this content. Is this something appropriate for the Roadmap group?

WOLFCon 2023

Brainstorm conversation:

  • WOLFCon 2022 retrospective:
    • What went well?
    • What did we miss?
    • What would add to the experience?
  • What should be the process for collecting topics and ideas from the SIGs?
    • How should we divide time between formal presentations and working meetings?
All

The contract is not completely finalized. Christopher Spalding is the lead contact with the U-Chicago conference center from the OLF.  (The people from U-Chicago on the PC call are not involved with the negotiations.)

Lessons from 2022

  • Differentiate the presentation sessions from the council sessions and the working group sessions.
  • Have more clarity about the purpose of the session: informational, marketing, discussion/decision. Can some sessions be pre-recorded for review before an in-person session?
  • Can a day be added that is devoted to council meetings? Can ALA be looked at as a potential model (where the board meets before and after the formal meeting)? These pre- and post-meetings would be smaller. There was mention of this in the meeting prospectus. Making clear the purpose of the meetings (information-sharing versus decision-making).
  • Vision work does particularly well when we have had past FOLIO in-person meetings.
  • Have a series on how to install FOLIO
  • In-person meetings are also about refreshing and building relationships
  • Workflows and the cross-app development work as well as how libraries are solving problems
  • Repeat the show-and-tell sessions (perhaps with a different, more explanatory title)
  • Have more developer-relevant sessions so they can get the face-to-face relationship building (considered as a track?); related also to how new institutions want to add developers...have an orientation session for them
  • Were the plenary sessions helpful? The presentation from Nancy Kirkpatrick brought a helpful, different perspective
  • Last year we struggled getting meeting topics from SIGs with the uncertainty of whether people would be attending WOLFcon because the meeting topics were not known
  • Put the most important discussion at the end to encourage people to say
  • Would a theme for the FOLIO part (or in conjunction with an OLF theme) help guide the vision for what we want to talk about?
5 minAgenda topics for next timeAll

How can Product Council help with the release digest? This is PC's opportunity to get involved with what is coming out and be able to report back to PC. Is it solely an administrative, information-gathering function or is it a more active role?

SIG updates are next week.

00:35:24	Ian Walls: my quick idea:  a 3 meeting series on "How do we make FOLIO easier to install"
1. Clarify what the challenges to installation are
2. Ideate on how to overcome them
3. Actually implement some of the solutions
00:35:25	Tod Olson: Replying to "Potential origins of..."

Let's hope it's more like the hardware store and less like the coffin or gun stock.
