Community Priorities Dashboard PC WG: Has not met yet since December. The WG will split up into two sub-sub groups:

Release Management & Communication PC WG: Had meeting this week on 1/6/2026. The WG talked about coordinating the communication effort with Product owners on release notes.

Jeremy asks if the RMS Group is a subgroup to the PC. This topic is to be clarified. The meeting notes is under PC subgroups. Jenifer mentioned that not all meeting had meeting minutes. This might be something where the PC could support helping out doing some administrative work.

New Topics

10 - 15 min

Identification of Integrating Tools

All

This topic came out of the WOLFcon PC shoulder meeting. Martin Scholz has curated a list Community developed functionality around FOLIO; which we could build upon. The purpose is to inform the community about apps and tools not FOLIO code compliant, but used by FOLIO libraries. Martin suggests to do the list more comprehensive, and official; e.g. supporting apps developed for LoC.

Alexis shared ARLEF list of integrations. This list might have been written up by Tod Olsson.

Next step: Martin will present these lists to the Implementers SIG.

Charlotte volunteered to help Martin consolidating the two lists, and have the document accessible directly from the PC wiki space. Lisa McColl also would also like to help out, and work on the list. This is a new PC sub group. Jeremy will add the group to the list of PC subgroups.
