  • Tom Cramer, Stephen Pampell, Paul Kloppenborg and Shawn Nicholson all volunteer for co-chairs. Suggest we vote on chairs on Slack before the next meeting. All volunteers to send Joe their blurb by July 18. Vote will be on Slack by July 21, and vote concluded by July 25.

• Should be Slack and Google tidy to remove former members. Co-chairs will manage this once in place.

Note taker for August 11 - @Peter Murray

Letter to non-member institutions

@Shawn Nicholson

@Joseph Grobelny @Tom Cramer @Boaz Nadav Manes

• From 2025-07-14 Community Council Meeting MinutesPreview

  • Letter was drafted

    and agreed https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AoAfO

  • Letter requests an end of fiscal year contribution, so some light editing is needed.

    • Joe and Tom will continue to work with Shawn to refine, and new co-chairs will send.

  • Shawn has a spreadsheet with contact information for the target institutions and is ready to share.

  • New co-chair(s) should send the letter.

  • Need to consider the work of the sub-committee on line-item charges. Boaz will also support review of the letter to members to ensure it reflects the line-item work, or at least doesn't contradict it.

• Delaying until Shawn returns.

FOLIO Futures: 1) Contribution Network, 2) TC Community Driven Development, and 3) FOLIO Blueprint idea

@Paul Kloppenborg @Joseph Grobelny @spampell

Discussion based on summary of differences between proposals:

1. Contribution Network idea:

2. TC Community Driven Development WG Community Driven Development Working GroupPreviewis meeting weekly

3. Tom’s FOLIO Blueprint

Discussion:

Mike - Didn’t think the blueprint doc was a suggested model, more of an outline that spawned the other models. We also discussed which environments should be funded by community vs. contributing institutions.

Jenn - CDD is focused on community decision making,not necessarily a funding or contriubtion model. Need to be clear about what question we are answering here. Infrastructure (Eureka) vs. Functional pieces (Apps).

Charlotte - Would like to see the proposals (CDD and Network) harmonized and not seen as competing proposals.

Tom - Dedicate the next meeting to this topic, have brief presentations on all proposals and then discuss next steps. Ensure Jeremy Huff is invited to represent CDD perspective.

Kirsten - Need to focus on maintenance as well as new development. App formalization changes release model and need to understand what impact this has as we attempt to make a decision here.

Stephen - CDD vs. CTN - would be good to see how these work in practice. Example projects could be placed through each model and results evaluated. Also addressed spend on AWS vs. better alloctions for funding (additional FOLIO staff to manage development efforts).

Decided - dedicate Aug 11 meeting to this topic.
