June 17-19: FOLIO In-Person meeting


Still thinking about editing down the recording of the meeting.

June 22 (10am): Recording/Livestreaming ALA Presentations


The panel discussion was a repeat of what was done at ER&L, and the ER&L recording is probably better.  No need to repeat this as a Forum, so removing the topic from the idea list.

Product Owner session


Current thinking is to ask the POs to do a panel session reflecting outcomes and follow-up from the June face-to-face meeting.  Possibly hosting this on July 31 or Aug 7.  Focus on what was defined for the MVP.  Also do a short bit about how to become a product owner and highlight the areas where the project is looking for product owners.  Introduce the new product owners for Users, data import and others.

?August: Panel Discussion of Vendor Partners and Libraries

Moderator: Peter Murray

Depending on whether ALA is streamed.

Include discussions with libraries about how they envision other libraries getting involved.  About vendor involvement – from the vendor perspective and the library perspective.

Include discussion of KB vendors invited to the face-to-face meeting.

?September???: Open Library Foundation

Host: Ginny Boyer

To talk holistically about the communities in the Foundation: the ones that exist, the ones that are coming on. Talk about the idea of scope for the FOLIO project as it relates to the goals of these communities coming onboard. To include members of the OLF Board, ideally. Also talk about the transition of OLF leadership.

Branding as "OLF Forum" versus "FOLIOForum"

Rachel reached out to Ginny about this. September might be good timing.  Gather interest in WOLFcon in Texas in January 2020; ALA Midwinter Jan 17-20 then WOLFcon.

?: "Beyond ILS” session: Research/Special Collections

Host:

Moderator: Sebastian Hammer

Heidi Mann, Nassib, Mitchell.

On hold for now. Sebastian is confirming with participants.

Preceded by Sebastian/Christopher/Michael with a session about where we are on the project.  What we've discussed with Resource Sharing, for instance. 

?: Panel Discussion of Early Implementers/Adopters Partners


Session on how Chalmers went and what the plans are from others. Representatives from TAMU and UChicago.

Hold until after Chalmers has gone live and gotten their feed under themselves.

?: ERM Apps

It has been a while since a review of the ERM apps was done and there are some exciting things happening.  Eric Hartnett to watch for the optimum time in the fall to do an update.
Codex
in order to put pressure on ourselves to make some decisions around Inventory and Codex
Review Idea Bank
  • Usage Statistics
  • 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.
  • 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. Rachel Fadlon to investigate.
  • Podcasting as a possibility to get developers to answer questions about the process, EBSCO has people who be able to edit
  • Panel of PO/SIG facilitator/developer together to discuss the full life cycle, moderated by product owner
  • Codex Revisited, based on the vision statement – including the entity formerly known as authority work.
  • Accessibility features/process of testing – perhaps in the fall after the issues of the latest testing are resolved?
