2022-06-30 Product Council Meeting notes

• New FOLIO Members: BSZ network, UB Darmstadt, UB Kassel, UB Frankfurt
• Cornell has successfully completed a fiscal year-end roll-over.
• Michigan State Univ, State Library of Michigan, and Carin University (Pennsylvania) are live on FOLIO. Five Colleges going live at the end of the day.
• Hessian library network member libraries are going to be implementing FOLIO (2-3 year plan)

Discuss officer roles and liaison roles for 2022-2023. Welcome to new PC member Alexis Manheim, who is joining Product Council. Thank you to Anya, who is leaving Product Council. Other representatives were re-elected. Newly elected (and re-elected) members have full 2-year terms.

For the next meeting, Jesse will write a summary of the co-chair role and Peter will write a summary of the secretary role. These will be sent out to Product Council, and next week we will make a selection of co-chair and secretary. Email Jesse and Kristen if you are interested in nominating yourself.

Liaison roles to SIGs have evolved over the years depending on the nature of the SIG and the liaison's interest.  This is a two-way communication role: that the SIG knows what is happening at the PC, and that the PC knows the relevant activities happening in the SIG. Jesse will check in with existing SIG conveners to see how the relationship is going and if a change is needed; he will bring back a list of SIGs in need of liaisons to the next Product Council meeting.

The current schedule is here: https://wolfcon2022.sched.com/ please take a look and be ready to comment.

From the Foundation website:

WOLFcon 2022 will be an in-person event bringing together members of the Open Library Foundation’s project member communities as well as users of their products. Participants will attend presentations, community sharing conversations, workshops, and conduct business meetings.

Provide feedback on sessions and the schedule. The planning group meets weekly (on Friday at 8:30am Eastern U.S. time (Zoom), but probably not this Friday) and invites input to make sure the meetings are available and meaningful for everyone attending. SIG working meetings can be scheduled. If product owners are aware of need for working meetings, they are encouraged to work with SIG conveners.  (In past WOLFcon meetings, the product owners did make a more active role in planning working meetings. The next Product Owner meeting is next week; someone from the WOLFcon planning group can attend if needed.)

Discuss topics/agendas for PC-related meetings. This may change and evolve over time. The WOLFcon meetings are not like the weekly Product Council meetings; they tend to be more strategic in nature.
