Product Council updates

• FrontSide from Austin, TX Developers: Ebsco developers working on open API for Ebsco KB and plugging it into Okapi and producing a prototype User Interface. 
  

Working on proof of concept with EBSCO. Will be open source. 1) Connection from EBSCO kb to OKAPI. 2) OKAPI side - open API that any other vendor can use to integrate their KB into FOLIO. This will also be open source. 3) Also building out UI for EBSCO RM interface. Early prototype for RM.

Work is starting now. May start to include in demos so people can see features. Some people at EBSCO have relationship with Frontside. Interface will probably be different from Filip's interface but should build off Filip's design. Shouldn't be considered a competing vision. Built to test the functionality.

Goal is for API to be generic and publicly available so other organizations can build off of it.

FOLIO Roadmap review

• Version 1 spreadsheet functionality review: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15eO29vY2qp-FeUaoA292J-KwDy4c9z8dg-Pfp2fDymw/edit#gid=1396400671
• Survey on priorities

Survey - 1 response per institution involved in FOLIO. Will not be anonymous. Features that relate to holdings management. Features that related to acquisitions. In order as the exist on spreadsheet. Will have rankings and "must haves." Will add check-in to the list of features. Will add free form box for contact info and additional features. Will send out today with deadline of Aug. 16th for discussion on 18th but depending on number of responses, may discuss during Aug. 11th meeting.

Suggested that ad hoc groups with specific expertise work with Stacks to go through the workflows (e.g., Monograph acquisition expertise to work on Monograph workflows), then bring it back to the SIG. How should these groups be structured? Two different groups - Stacks/Harry and Sebastian/Holdings.
