Attendance & Notes	Angela	Attendance & Notes Today's attendance-taker: Linda (or substitute) Today's note-takers: Team Leads for project updates
Announcements / Reminders	Angela	Hoping to put together a FOLIO Forum FOLIO Forums are a great outreach opportunity - a way to share work with a large community and support the 100% open-source LDP project Nassib is interested in putting together a panel for something soon Could be a general reporting topic, or something more specific (e.g., LDLite, using LDP for inventory clean up) Anyone interested? Message Nassib or comment on LDP Slack Request for review: FOLIO Implementers and their hosting solutions Angela come up with a start of a comprehensive table of FOLIO implementers and their hosting solutions, plans for LDP/Metadb, and representation in the Reporting SIG Please review and propose edits by Monday, October 10 How to find our latest recordings Recording details available on our Reporting SIG Meetings and Notes page and Reporting SIG Subteam Meetings page (Always) Recruiting New Query Developers The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.
Reporting SIG project work	Angela	There is a new section in our SIG wiki: Reporting SIG Projects Trying to start keeping track of proposals that have come up for projects to be making progress on our FOLIO Reporting Roadmap We will be using the roadmap to help set priorities for projects Can only focus on so many efforts at the same time, so need to be careful about coming up with new ideas and shifting our attention to them right away New project ideas can get listed under planned projects, but won't necessarily try to spin them up right away
Training topic; Using FOLIO APIs (Postman, LDLite)	Angela	Quick demonstration of using Postman and LDLite to pull data from FOLIO via APIs, continued (slides)
Updates and Query Demonstrations from Various Reporting Related Groups and Efforts	Community & Coordination, Reporting Subgroup Leads	Project updates Reporting development is using small subgroups to address priorities and complete work on report queries. Each week, these groups will share reports/queries with the Reporting SIG. Reporting development team leads are encouraged to enter a summary of their work group activities below. RA/UM Working Group Meetings have become more of a lab session, working through specific problems Contact Angela if you would like to join these meetings; second Wednesdays at 1pm Eastern Context Meeting notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnzG64tl917LOH2FtWhCEPlSOsnJWKL-0eu88Ouo1DU/edit Current status of RA/UM issues: https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+RA%2FUM Status of LDP → Metadb querying porting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1efLc6QMJyGuXyQM26pZbti-B6wFhJuZt7s7FJbhdXYo/edit#gid=0 MM Working Group Meetings are 1st Tuesday of the month, 12-1pm ET via zoom using the usual FOLIO password.

ERM Working Group FOLIO Data Model Training We started creating a "FOLIO Data Model Training: (Electronic) Resource Mgmt." like RA/UM together with RM Working Group. ERM Query Development Status folio-analytics version 1.5: Add comments to columns in all derived tables Fixes Meetings are bi-weekly on tuesdays 11am ET alternating with RM Working Group Next meeting will be at 11th, Oct Contact Stefan Dombek if you would like to get a calendar invitation RM Working Group group is working on RM-related derived tables for Metadb and adding comments to columns for folio-analytics 1.5 see RM Derived Tables to Convert from LDP to Metadb for latest query development updates, see RM Prototype and Query Development Status Meetings are biweekly on Tuesdays 11am-noon ET; contact Sharon Markus if you would like a calendar invitation Meeting Recordings are here: FOLIO ERM-RM Report Dev Teams Next meeting is Tuesday, September 6 11am-noon ET Reporting SIG Documentation Subgroup Lotus documentation is live on https://docs.folio.org/docs/ Morning Glory documentation is complete and submitted Nolana documentation will be in progress soon Additional Context The Reporting SIG has representation on the Documentation Working Group, which is building end-user documentation for https://docs.folio.org/docs/ (mostly linking to existing documentation over on GitHub) External Statistics Working Group no updates currently new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository New organizational structure for External Statistics reports external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters Product Council For all recent work on FOLIO Reporting SQL development: https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics/commits/main
Topics for Future Meetings	All	How to deal with External Stats reports? maybe subteam leads check in about that probably wait until after Metadb conversion is more complete ask for presenters: hosting experiences from implementers Annual Reporting Goals (in progress) Support the transition from LDP to Metadb (e.g., update derived table and report queries, update documentation, outreach, new training) (ready to start) Developing training/onboarding for new SIG members/report users (esp. FOLIO-specific data model and transformation stuff) Improve communication between SIG and developers of apps so we hear about data model changes in advance continued advocacy on part of the SIG to governance groups (ready to start) Review JIRA issues, clean up, revisit strategy for JIRA Regular review of Milestones Exploring new recruitment/onboarding strategies (e.g., buddy system) Guest presentations: Foliage (Mike Hucka and Laurel Narizny from CalTech) Demo latest version of LDP app, any new features? Training: Using APIs More work on asynchronous collaboration, how to engage in discussions and question answering more broadly consider connecting discuss.folio.org with a Slack channel, to make sure any forum topics get highlighted on Slack as well? Review and update Topics for Future Reporting SIG Meetings
