Meeting Notes


  • The onboarding process
    • Keep in mind: people have different definitions for onboarding
    • Should include:
      • what is the point of this group
      • What does it mean to represent your institution
        • possible answer: the more different the institutions are the more universal the fix/feature
        • different pespectives and uses cases in regard to your specific work in your library
      • we see declining numbers here in the SIG - what could be the reason for this?
      • POs like to see SIGs more involved in bugfest and testing in general
      • What are the different roles in the project
      • deciver the project jargon and acronyms.
      • For onboarding could we demystify how new functionality gets proposed-released? So use a case study of a feature and all of the hands that contributed?
      • So a breakdown of what the sig is, what it does but how you may be able to best represent your institution.
      • What it means to ‘represent’ your institution may be something covered by PC, since its universal.
      • A flow chart or something - [displaying the different roles and groups and their relations in the projects]
      • Answering the question: where and who are we as a community - POs missing, many new institutions joining - missing dev ressources and low bugfest participation
      • Contributions to PO questions:
        • For PO’s a google form is sometimes helpful as I can share it with others.
        • It's sometimes hard to find people in our institutions to answer the spreadsheets in a short time
        • advanced agenda and/or topic announcment yould make it easier to have the right people for the right topics in the meetings Those active and presenting on the SIG.
        • Do we need some meetings to be asynchronous- watch a recorded presentation and then meet to discuss?
      • Also, who the key people are and what their roles are...  Practitioner or something else, etc.
        • Those active and presenting on the SIG.
      • Make the reccordings for the onboarding meetings available and distriute them (via a wiki page / Slack)


  • TOOLS:
    • Do we need FOLIO slack to be modified in anyway- so one for discussion and one for "business" log of announcements?
    • In "any way" such as one RA Sig slack for discussion and one for RA SIG channel just for announcements/core


  • Re-Prioritizing the older features and comment/work on them to make them fit for development
    • Cornelia and Jana look into
