2021-04-28 Forum Facilitators Meeting notes

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.

20210428: Rachel reached out, waiting for an answer.  This could be really interesting since they have gone live with their first few branches and are planning many, many more.

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?

20210428: Harry said that a Forum was along the ideas that he was thinking when he was writing it.  The document is several releases out of date now; Harry isn't in a position to update it, but if a group gathered to update it with information from the latest releases, he could be a part of that (or even convene it).  We agreed to move this to our "Idea bank" and watch it in case it comes to life again.

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.

Moving this to the Welcome and Onboarding series.

Rachel Fadlon to start working on.

• John Hopkins "Databases" app from RM SIG. Not enough for a forum itself.  Maybe not enough for the only thing to include in a roadmap update.
• "Notes" helper app demonstration.  Could be combined with something else.  Has come up recently with questions about how it works.
• Update to the roadmap section of the website.
• MARCcat update and demonstration.  Perhaps paired with recent announcement of National Library of Florence (BNCF) going live on FOLIO?
• Report from the public library SIG.  Results of gap analysis for items that are specific to public libraries.
• Collection analysis...cost-per-use wireframes.
• 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.
