2020-02-19 Forum Facilitators Meeting notes

February 19: Roadmap Update and Arkivum

Host: @Laura E Daniels

40 attendees.  In the future, ask for topics that the audience wants covered.  Ask it at the beginning so that people can type them in as the webinar goes on.  Having presenters have questions for the community was a brilliant addition; something we can recommend to future presenters.

March 4: Open Library Foundation

Host: @Peter Murray

Ginny Boyer

April 1: Early Implementations

Host: @Eric Hartnett

Copied Facilitator's notes to the planning document.

?:  Circulation

Host: @Eric Hartnett

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.  After the start of the year, Chalmers can do an update on their implementation.

?: Inventory update

Lots of changes to inventory layout. Perhaps paired with MARCCat?

?: Course Reserves

Mike Taylor is interested.  Need to set date.

?: Shanghai Public Library

From @Rachel Fadlonon 20200205: Shanghai Library was honored we asked and would like to do a forum, but "They would like to host the event several months later once some apps are well developed, and the virus wave passes."

May ?: Fameflower Roadmap Update and Demo

Show what is new in the system for this release.  Show-not-tell approach with updates.  Use release notes as a guide?

Reverse RFP

Harry's document.  Get Harry's input on when this will be ready to present to the world.  Is it something we'd like to do as a Forum?

Role of Subject-Matter Experts in FOLIO

Keep as a FOLIO Forum.

As a part of onboarding new people into the community.  Similar to what we did in the past where we had what each of the SIG conveners talk about what they are doing and how people can get involved.

Series of presentations from PC Chair, SIG Convener, UX Designer, Product Owner, Developer – how does everyone work all together.  Possibly part of the general track of WOLFcon?

SIG conveners have not yet started meeting, but the conveners have talked about more consistency across the SIGs, so this could come from the SIG conveners.  Tagging @Laura E Daniels for investigation.

?: "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. 

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.
