FOLIO Roadmap and Prioritization process

@Martina Schildt @Kristin Martin @Dung-Lan Chen

The PC has a wiki area for the Roadmap.

Prioritisation

  • there are many SIGs that have implementers pages where Community can add topics, requirements on new functionality, additions to existing functionality, adjustments to existing functionality

  • the requirements are discussed in the SIG

  • afterwards the POs create Jira tickets, that get a specific label (e.g. acq-sig-topics)

  • everyone with a Jira account can then search and filter on these tickets and vote on them via the voting function in Jira (thumps up)

  • the development team can then pick up the tickets when development time allows

  • ACQ SIG tests this process until after Quesnelia, then ACQ SIG will review: what did work, what needs adjusting

  • when the PC will have a feedback discussion as well

  • if this process “passes the test” then we would like to have other SIGs adopt it if possible

Discussion:

  • this process and creation of tickets is a ot of work > SIGs might need help when adopting this process

  • positive feedback on process

  • maybe need need to re-discuss the role of SIG convener

  • maybe we need assisstant POs in more SIGs

  • maybe we need a new role: SMEs that are responsible to create Jira tickets for their SIG

  • Dennis Bridges uses Gherkin Syntax - Cucumber Documentation

  • Follow up on training people in Jira skills

    • Aaron Neslin would be a good person to get an introduction on that

Roadmap group will be sunsetting. What do we need to do to ensure the Roadmap and prioritization process are kept current?

WOLFCon topic ideas

Overview of WOLFcon 2024

Bring your ideas for what your SIG is planning with WOLFcon!

What would you want to hear from other SIGs?

 

All

  • The deadline for the call for proposals will be extended

  • Workshops are planned for the day before WOLFcon - this pre-conference is called FOLIO Academy

    • FOLIO Academy is in person only

  • WOLFcon itself is organised as hybrid meetings

  • ACQ SIG has gathered areas of interest and asked people to rank these areas

    • the ones with the highest ranking will be organised as sessions

    • Acq SIG also have WOLFCon 2024 brainstorming wiki page started where people can suggest topics or indicate if they’d like to present and the presentation topics they are considering, etc. WOLFCon 2024 Acq SIG brainstorming

  • RA SIG is starting the discussion on proposals today. There will probably be at least one proposal for a General RA SIG Meeting.

  • Reporting SIG has (so far) five sessions under consideration for submission. One would be a preconference.

  • ERM SIG is collecting areas of interest as well: WOLFcon ERM sessions | EasyRetro

    • there will definitely be one or two sessions

    • one on “what works well in ERM apps, what doesn’t” - with hopefully brief presentations by institutions taht can happen in-person or remote

  • there is a session on Serials planned

  • Workflow sessions might of interest - this is still in planning

    • maybe we a joint session on ERM/Dashboard and Workflow would be of interest

    • or maybe a workflows working meeting..?

  • PC

    • introductory on “what is PC” and a roadmap update - e.g. for people who are new to the project

      • record session and then put recording up on the wiki

    • talk about different FOLIO roles

In general: we need good technology to enable virtual attendance

  • virtual attendance is charged to enable a good experience
