| 30 min | WOLFCon updates:
| All | Jesse Koennecke is the lead for content across all of the OLF projects. The FOLIO project needs a liaison to the WOLFcon planning group for its portion of the program; last year there were three people in that role. The local planning group will need to know well in advance what the needs for "shoulder" meetings are for the project before and after the main WOLFcon event (e.g., council meetings for the projects). Ideally, the FOLIO project would submit its contact names to the WOLFcon planning group by . The FOLIO project itself needs to decide what its meeting schedule is going to be (both during the conference as well as before/after). Would it be more effective to have meetings before the conference to avoid burnout after the conference? For planning purposes, it is helpful from the European perspective to book travel over the weekend. What would we want to get out of a Product Council meeting before/after WOLFcon? Also need to consider cross-council activities. (For U-Chicago's planning, WOLFcon is happening between academic terms, so there may be spaces available in the library for council meetings that otherwise would not be open.) |
| 30 min | Product Council/Product Owners
| All | Out of a meeting looking to recruit Product Owners came an idea to ask SIG subject matter experts to work on the development of features so a feature is ready for developers. The Resource Access SIG is scheduling meetings to work on this: fill out the description process with user story details, how to work with Jira issues, etc. This meeting is one of the existing RA SIG meetings. The idea is to move this activity from Product Owners to SIG members. This is a chance to get SMEs more involved in the PO activities. Is it the product council's role to ensure SMEs are engaged with Product Owners? Jira can be intimidating if it hasn't been used before. That can be a role for PC. Is there a set of slides for how to create Jira issues with this activity? This varies by SIGs—some SIGs have templates for Jira issues, for instance. There is the Getting Started for Product Owners page. |
