Summary

The SIG found that meetings have a lot of material that we aren’t getting to. We are still doing a lot outside of the business meeting. The “Refining ‘use a qualifier’” is a good example where we ask for volunteers to test and think through functionality outside of the SIG meeting. This puts a lot of pressure on everyone. It also means that we don’t share in discussing and testing. In response to this as well as the FOLIO Community Calendar Calming Planning 2026 from the Product Council, the SIG would like to propose the following:

1. The SIG business meeting alternates with the lab session. One week is a SIG business meeting. The next week is the lab session using the same zoom url as the SIG meeting and occurs at the same time as the SIG. When lab falls on the last week, we can cancel this meeting to have a week of no meetings.

  1. There will be one discussion topic. We will take as much time as we need to discuss the topic (either an existing issue or a new requested feature). Once discussion is complete, we will move on.

  2. We will add “Next Agenda” to our agenda so that we formulate the next agenda as a SIG

  3. We will keep the Thursday lab time in case anyone needs this hour to test or record some issue they are working through.

  4. We recognize that issues arise and that some need our attention at that moment rather than waiting. We will do our best as a community to address those in a timely manner. An example is a bug after upgrade such as Data Import not working.
