Next steps for SIG engagement

• SIGs will sign up for 10 min updates at the PC. Max 2 SIGs per PC meeting. Target attending the PC meetings twice a year. The liasions must communicate and check with the SIGs to get the planning tabeled.. Autumn suggests that the PC send out a general info to all the SIGs.

• SIG reports will now be quarterly, focus on housekeeping, changes in priority, what they need from the PC

• Annual SIG meeting - assess progress against goals, what is on the horizon for next year

  • in contrast to SIG updates, this is an opportunity to report out

  • timing - synch with WOLFCon registration opening?

Discuss FOLIO Community Directed Development Framework

Jeremy Huff presented the document. This document synthesize previous three documents; with both overlap and same approach, but also complementary.

Community Directed Development (CDD) acknowledge four categories of funding (pool funding; community development team funding; directed funding; in-kind contributions). In parallel we will continue to have Independent funding.

Resource allocation concepts - three main abstractions, defined as: support score; development score, and community resource score.

The components of FOLIO are falling in three components: core; community and participating.

The three councils all have a role to play with the governance of the CDD:

• CC is responsible for the budgeting.

• PC is responsible for the spending (and prioriting of the development)

• TC is responsible for the pricing (and security)

Process for identifying the work to be lifted by the CDD - described in steps. Approval from TC and PC.

Developers is to be selected from a Developers Marked place. The documents also have a description on the members of the CDD team.

At WOLFcon two sessions back to back will be about CDD: presenting the proposal, and workshop part. Please engage and participate on 9/24/2025. Maccabee mentioned that this document serve to inform the Tri-Council shoulder meeting on Friday 9/26/2025.
