Onboarding new CC members | @Mike Gorrell | New on CC from July: @Christopher Spalding , @Edwin Pretz , terms ending: @Hkaplanian , @keven lw , @Leander Seige (2023 Community Council Election) |
Renewing Community Support Volunteers group | @Mike Gorrell @Simeon Warner | See FOLIO Code of Conduct for current description Mike will check on the group if emails are delivered correctly and the group knows of their tasks (please note: Sharon Wiles-Young has retired) Question: is there a similar group / code of conduct for the OLF? VuFind has a Code of Conduct, and a project team email to contact. Not necessarily equivalent though. https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

FY24 Budget Planning – TC and PC suggestions for spending | @Simeon Warner | See 2023-05-22 Meeting notes where we decided to follow up with more discussion, and 2023-06-12 Meeting notes when postponed. Amount available: Paula? Thinking about our funding Is this one-time money ($150k-$200k in FY24) or are we planning to have a certain amount to spend each year. If we imagine ongoing, how much should we plan on? Funding: ongoing vs. one-time - "ongoing" is not necessarily "continuous"
Staffing for ongoing roles Community Developer Advocate (TC, PC, Support SIG) There are 2 goals: where do new developers are pointed to to find their place to work? And then help with their practical onboarding? Developers come to the project with different expectations and interests Development efforts need to be coordinated and cultivated Onboarding interview to find out what a developer wants to do and where to work and what kind of training is needed Outcome: general agreement from CC about this approach. PC/TC to do some more refinement, how an engagement would look like concretely - which kind of authority such an advocate will have? Refine the scope of work How to find the first CDA? → Out of the existing pool of people as an rotating role → How? OLF can only reimburse an institution for its engagement, not hire someone directly How much will this engagement cost? Part-time job is feasible (20 to 50%) On asking TC and PC to refine the proposal: @Maccabee Levine commented TC and PC can/should do so re: the responsibilities, requirements, etc. sections now that CC has indicated support. The specific staffing options (Possible Scenarios section) are still probably for CC to decide, and possibly with input from whatever institutions / developers are interested.
New: Harrys proposal: Toms proposal: “The List of Things that Could be Better about FOLIO” from October ’22 could be a useful artifact to mine for targets of incremental funding. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1x2jON9yjEQboPlXiwFm8pqPT69g0wCDCD_4atR04atw/edit#slide=id.p Product Owner (see discussion 2023-05-22 and questions of PO divorced from teams. Product Owners: Available positions)
Ongoing programs/subscriptions FOLIO reference environment (TC, staffing and hosting costs) Airtable for prioritization (TC, subscription cost)- Cost not clear yet and also not clear that heavyweight prioritization is best approach
One-time projects Outcome: How much money can we spend? Have specific recommendations to vote on (including costs for each position) Take forward the Community Developer Advocate back to PC/TC
