2020-07-15 Forum Facilitators Meeting notes

Recording.  89 peak simultaneous viewers.  Smooth handoffs between speakers.  One speaker's audio was choppy.  Hard to see the demo screens.  They really wanted to show the software, so maybe show it once and then have excerpts of screenshots after that.  (Not see it well multiple times.)  YouTube working okay, but don't have any demographics of who is attending (existing community members versus new community members, for instance).  Post a URL in the chat to a survey?  Had one person who was not on the panel answering questions.  Can we create a live event placeholder and then have Zoom connect to that?  (Rather than having Zoom create a live event on the fly?)  Peter Murray to ask if this is possible.  Have someone also on the webinar with the task of copying comments from YouTube to Zoom?

Host:

It has been a while since a review of the circulation apps was done and there are some exciting things happening.  Peter Murrayto ask the RA POs what they think about doing a demo now.

20200422: They will talk about it at one of their upcoming meetings now that they have restarted Zoom calls.

20200701: Peter to check in with RA and UM about demoing circ/users, since we haven't had this in a while.

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."

From Rachel Fadlon on 20200415: Will ask if they are interested/available.  They are doing a webinar for EBSCO in May (12th) as well.  Suggested dates: any Wednesday in May.  Would be a repeat/update of what they did for WOLFcon in January.

20200422: Shanghai is not ready.

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.

20200415: Peter Murray to ask SIG Conveners about this.
