• 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
