Data Import SIG	@Christie Thomas , @Jennifer Eustis	@Jennifer Eustis	The Data Import SIG has been working on a new way to track Jira issues and allow the community to add new features. We are now using the labels data-import-sig-needs-review and data-import-sig-reviewed. We have dashboards for both of those. The SIG brings to the meetings all those that need review and adds comments and decisions directly into that Jira issue. The Implementers' Topic Spreadsheet is used for ideas that don’t have a Jira where these will be brought to the meeting and a Jira or Jira issues created. The goal is to track and manage our work in jira.
Discovery SIG	@Nicole Trujillo		Discovery SIG is working our way through old Jiras and deciding on a tag system to help remind us which category (requests, records, etc.) each Jira falls into. We also discussed the UX of requesting of multiple items in discovery interfaces, and are working on an October Linked Data in discovery presentation with the LD4 Discovery Affinity Group.
Documentation Working Group	@Ludwig Liebl	@Martina Tumulla	The Documentation WG thanked Christine Tobias for her commitment and wonderful documentation work, wished her all the best for her retirement and welcomed Lola Estelle as a new writer. She will take over Christine’s documentation areas. The WG discussed opportunities for collaboration with POs in the writing process.

Implementers SIG	@Thomas Trutt	@Charlotte Whitt	Implementers SIG is on Summer Break until September 9th due to low attendance. We continue to prepare our WOLFcon sessions For 2025, Implementers SIG set up a “Programming Board” consisting of three conveners (Tara, Tom, and Darsi). This experiment has gone very well--by meeting every other week and spreading out the work, we’ve been able to keep our calendar full and our notes up to date. Our hope is to recruit 1-2 new members of the programming board by the end of the year so that 1-2 of us can rotate off. Adding fresh voices will help bring new ideas to this vibrant SIG. This is a great opportunity in particular for someone to try out being a convener with a low commitment and a great support network. Please let us know if anyone is interested!
Linked Open Data	@Laura E Daniels & @Chris Long	@Charlotte Whitt & @Lisa McColl	Work is needed on getting features open in Jira for prioritization. LoD is seeking a new convener/co-conveners.

User Management	@Maura Byrne	@Maura Byrne	We had a demo of the number generator for user barcodes. We discussed MODUSERS-539 (Optimistic locking for editing user records). We set it at a low priority for now. We discussed User Acceptance Testing for customizing the Custom Fields accordion, which will begin this week. We discussed a few items on our Gap List, since there seems to be a little room for front-end-only work. Show the number of requests on a user record, but not the requests themselves. – This was considered a good gap to work on. Allow override of of failed renewal to expired users. – This needs to be brought to RA-SIG for consultation. Make more clear what fields are being searched in user search. – We discussed the possibility of an info button on the search, so that we don’t need to add extra verbiage to the screen. UXPROD-5496 (Exclude Patron User Type records from user search) – We shelved this until October, when we could get a better idea of whether other institutions (how many, how large) could be affected. It seems very complicated, touching several apps, and many libraries haven’t yet adopted the Patron User Type.
