Communication

Team

This week:

  • Announcing PC and TC Elections; Confirming that we are sending to Slack users' email address (not merging JIRA users to save the headache of de-duplication).

    • Confirmed we will only use Slack; extensive discussion. Harry will grab Slack data tonight and test; will send broadcast Slack message tomorrow encouraging people to vote. 

    • Will use #general for announcement and pin to channel. 

    • Suggestion to add a "your vote is secret" to the message; was an issue last time. Harry will do.

  • CC update at PC was provided May 20th

  • Should schedule an update to the TC too - @Boaz was to take point.

    • Still to do. 

 - Upcoming conferences:

Charleston session format and threads: https://www.charleston-hub.com/the-charleston-conference/session-formats/

What conferences do the German members attend? Is there an equivalent to UKSG or Charleston? Answer: Bibliothekartag - German Library Day  (June, 16 - 18, 2021,  FOLIO + GOKb both on June 18 )

  • Paula notes that ALA presentation was peppered with questions from small institutions asking about turnkey / hosted services. Need more info on this in future presentations. 

  • Boaz will start a Google folder where proposals can be added. 

NOTE - Our Governance document states:

  • Quarterly the Councils will meet as one group as part of a “FOLIO Community Update”. This meeting will be chaired by the Community Council Chair. The Chairs of all three councils will be responsible for preparing agendas. At least one of these quarterly meetings should be face to face at WOLFcon.

When do we want to start this? Q3 (Jul-Sept)
Suggestion that it include cross-project topics. Like data integrity. Mike will begin assembling topics.

 Onboarding

Team

Onboarding Videos of CC topics - session scheduled for 6/30/2021

Idea from previous meeting - set up a SIG or other type of group to support new FOLIO community members. Help to network and share information. Action item for someone?
No discussion. 

Update on member invoices

Paula

Have original invoices been sent out?
Yes. All sent out. Some have not been received though. For those that have been received, often FOLIO needs to be set up as a vendor. Shares same tax payer ID as OLF, so some extra work needed. 

Additional funds from recent solicitation?
Have received $30-35k in extra solicitations. Note remarkable uptake in China for Membership. 8 institutions signed up. Keven going to talk to national public library in capital soon; expects to have a stronger alliance this year. Will last for many years.

Review Strategic Goals and Objectives

Team

A group of FOLIO members contributed to the FOLIO Vision, Strategic Objectives and Initiatives which was published in December 2020. The Community Council will review this list and begin to identify and prioritize its goals for the coming year.

Review via Google Doc version of Wiki page

Discussion of comments, reactions from first reviewers. Lots of agreement on how CC is going to be involved; a few areas where there wasn't alignment.
What's next? Subcommittees to work on individual initiatves?
Suggestion to group items by accountable committee (CC, TC, PC)
Note: We need someone who will take charge of the wiki
ACTION ITEM: By next week, everyone will go through the document and tag items that are owned (Partly or wholely by community council). (Sorting hat phase)
Next phase might be turning goals into SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Timely). 
General comment: who owns market analysis, market fit segments?

Team
