  • After Michael Winkler posts the video to YouTube, Rachel Fadlon will send an email to all participants with the link to the recording.
  • No Twitter questions, but did get retweets and people following the project's Twitter account. FLO is notably good at retweeting us. Someone from "RedHat India" liked many of the tweets; Peter Murray will follow-up.
  • Even if we don't have the descriptions, can we put the list of upcoming Forums on the website so people know what is coming? Good idea!

Review Idea Bank 
  • Presentations could start to look at deployment, particularly in a hosted, non-hosted environment
  • Work to prep for migrations to FOLIO. Get implementation managers on a panel.
  • Reach out to convener of Implementation SIG (late Spring?)
  • How FOLIO is impacting libraries now: view from Cornell – wait to reach out until we have better sense of implementation timelines; How are they viewing FOLIO from a strategic perspective
  • What is the international perspective on FOLIO? Can we get a panel of international sites (Australia, GVB) to give their perspectives? Plus, international update
  • Host a Forum in the Spanish language with roadmap discussion and demo, could be hosted by Lydia @ EBSCO, include UNAM development team
  • April/May timeline, before beta implementation in June/July: have a beta site talk about their interest in FOLIO (how and why as a strategy); what are some of the mechanics of the site doing the implementation
