10 minAnnouncements
EBSCO has its first library live on FOLIO in South America!  Universidad de Concepción in Chile.
10 minCommunity Council updateHarry

The CC are focused on 3 items:

  1. The current funding status - FOLIO needs more
  2. Prioritized task list for CC deliverables.  The group is trying to prioritize the most important items.
  3. Form a team that will gather details from non-FOLIO libraries to determine what the FOLIO community can do to make joining the community and ultimately becoming a member attractive.  The CC are looking for volunteers. 
10 minTechnical Council updateTod

How to deal with external code submissions.  We don't have a process with expectations for the contributor and the project.  A group is forming to own this process; they have a good initial draft and are attempting to have something in place to get the LDP app included in Kiwi.

How to deal with storage of objects.  Putting them in Postgres is not a good option.  TC has selected on the industry-standard S3 API for storing these objects for tenants.  This standard is no longer specific to AWS—there are other implementations that can be used.

10 minCapacity Planning updateHarry

The Cap planning team's focus outside of Juniper release issues has been to try and identify when a hotfix for Juniper might be scheduled since the code freeze is not far away.

We will be discussing the situation with team Prokopovich due the the very limited number of developers that are actually available to do the needed work.  It breaks down to essentially:

  • 1.0 FTE backend devs
  • 1.5 FTE frontend devs

 This team needs developers.

10 minProduct Owners updateKhalilah

Kristin will check if an oral presentation will be needed at a future meeting.
