• Process for agreeing on grouping into applications
  • From discussion on process:
    • Take an initial draft groupings to TC, PC, and POs for input
    • Initial draft may be the sample included int the PoC, run this by different bodies and see if the groups think of this as good enough, provides a concrete example.
    • Will need process to change groupings: new modules come into being, some modules will go away, will want to move modules from one application to another.
    • This becomes two questions on the spreadsheet.
    • Spoiler: the initial set of applications is very far from where we want to be, grouped by dependencies, not by functionality. This group might want to focus on where we want to go.
    • Will need a change management process, events like refactoring dependencies, new modules, etc. will happen.
  • Meta-discussion on process:
    • Decision: this group will be the responsible group for drafting a process, and have mechanisms for both telling and asking stakeholders
    • Because any new module will need to be part of an application, who will decide which application it belongs to (whether a new or existing application)?
    • Suggestion to separate the PoC dropping into the FOLIO GitHub space from initial grouping of applications that comes with the PoC.
      • Framing of initial grouping will be a thing. Maybe stress that the first grouping is a practical reflection of current reality, not where we wish to be.
