Discussion of CC agreement on Vision with “directs” FOLIO development

all

  • https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/EYArO

  • Adopted Mission and Vision statements:

    • Vision: The FOLIO community is open to all. Consisting of libraries, developers, vendors, consortia, and networks, we work together to build and maintain an open source library services platform that enables innovation and delivers both traditional and new resource management capabilities to libraries across the world.

    • Mission: The community directs the development of FOLIO as an open source platform for libraries that provides choice and protection from vendor lock-in. Its modular, adaptable architecture provides a stable platform to meet current needs while being forward-thinking, empowering libraries to lead innovation, respond to change, and shape their digital futures.

  • ACTION - PC and CC chairs will air the adopted statements with their councils

 

Last Tri-Council meeting, May 15

all

  • Notes: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QQD_Nw

    • Productive conversation around leveraging need to extended Ransoms support to leverage community development. Lots of very thoughtful input and a cross-council working group led by Jeremy Huff will follow up.

    • Agreement that nobody wants to delay Sunflower, this could be a silver lining situation. Some community members a bit jaded based on past experience, how can we make this successful? How can we support that group?

    • Contingency plan? None developed, would be just going out of support. Expected gap is a few months

    • For the plan to work there will need to be recruitment of volunteers

      • There will be discussion at TC this Wednesday, working group will meet at 10am before this

      • Will need to get clear asks for what volunteer is required

    • What might CC need to do to support?

      • Possibly establish fund to coordinate payment and disbursement in support of this work

      • Collect experience from past efforts - what did and didn’t work? There is some experience collected in the developer advocate
