Better Sample Data Working Group request for community support

@Yogesh Kumar @Lee Braginsky

Yogesh Kumar and Lee Braginsky have worked on a proof-of-concept for dataset anonymization. PII data is replaced with randomly generated data, loan history is scrambled, and acquisitions data is scrambled or randomized. They are looking for 2 Java developers from the community, with SQL and folio schema knowledge to help develop the tool as something we can in Github to share, so interested institutions could scramble their data. We thought maybe we should bring this to the CC to demonstrate and request the ask? See: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PC/pages/518718150

  • Randomized lends and names.

  • Automated 2400 tests will need changes to use new data.

  • Manual tests are ready to go.

Member Meeting Planning

@Christopher Spalding

@Kirstin Kemner-Heek @Boaz Nadav Manes

From https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CC/pages/429359144 @Christopher Spalding @Kemner-Heek, Kirstin @Boaz Nadav Manes volunteered to begin to scaffold a structure for regular members meeting in which a clearer definition of membership-added-value is expressed.
