Goals
Discussion items
Time | Item | Who | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
5 min | Announcements | Kristin M. representing PC on Long-term Release policy.Ā Mike Gorrell is leading this group. Libraries going LIVE: | |
5 min | WOLFcon planning updates | Mike G | Review current status for current WOLFcon plans, including location, registration details, and space and technology details. Ā From the suggestions for meeting ideas, FOLIO provided OLF with an outline of sample sessions to be included in the early registration packet.Ā Coming up is a refinement of the meeting ideas/suggestions.Ā Recommendations from the hosts: if you are planning to come, make your hotel reservations now...the reservation can be canceled later if needed. |
25 min | SWOT Analysis | Sharon/Anya | Discuss and plan next steps Word Document Helping get new SIG conveners engaged in the larger processes of the project.Ā (Helps to increase broader engagement with the project.) Data syncing and data structure and architectural complexity were noted in the analysis.Ā TC and SysOps talk about these issues.Ā Have these underlying issues turned into future goals?Ā Who would be the lead here? Noting the top 3 works under "weakness" word cloud are: Lack, System, Development. Noting a positive: compared to a previous system, the user interface is intuitive enough to figure out a complex task such as acquisitions...much easier to train new staff. We're heading in a bad trend of needing more hotfixes to address issues found after a release is made. Thinking about the suite of options for handling metadata as a strength; libraries have the flexibility of managing metadata in ways that meet their needs. As a weakness, we have a lot of out-of-date things and missing things on the wiki.Ā Do we need another spaceāa support spaceāfor those using the system versus those that are developing the system? We need to revisit the communication needs...beyond video calls and in languages other than English. |
15 mins | Roadmap updates | Jesse | Roadmap.Ā This is based on the Jira roadmap project, and includes almost all of the subthemes under the appropriate themes.Ā There is an indication of calendar year when things would occur, but this needs to be reviewed with SIGs for accuracy.Ā Jesse has a few remaining things to doāadding subthemes and their links into the spreadsheet.Ā Anyone with the link can add comments to the spreadsheet. Is this something that (with the completion of the links) could be put on the website for people that are interested in the project (versus actively working on the project)?Ā Would it need a higher level of abstraction before putting it on the main website?Ā (Putting it on the website definitely needs to describe the scope of timeāwhen was the version last updated.) Jesse to share with Community Council on Monday and have a new version to review for the next PC meeting for SIGs to review to confirm the assigned year for prioritization. Are we promising things when we put them on the roadmap with a particular year? |
