SIG Recruitment

We will need to be recruiting for a variety of roles in the coming months. Please consider whether you would be interested. Reach out to Angela Zoss (Old) or Sharon Markus with any questions.

  • Representative for the Documentation Working Group
  • Query developers
  • Members of the FOLIO Analytics Review Board (immediate need!)
  • Members and possibly a leader for monthly MM/RA/UM development subteam
  • Co-convener


Proposal: Cancelling Bi-monthly Development MeetingsAngela

For discussion:

  • Right now, we have a cross-functional area Development Meeting twice a month. These give us opportunities to do some planning outside of our development subteams and also share tips and tricks.
  • With Angela leaving, we don't really have anyone to run the dev meetings.
  • Separately, we often find that it's difficult to come up with topics for our main SIG meetings.
  • Proposal: shut down the development meeting series and move development discussions to SIG meetings
  • We have already been treating Thursdays as more of a "training" meeting and Mondays as covering some of our more advanced topics, so this would probably mean we go into even more development details on Mondays
  • Thoughts? Concerns?
Overview of Documentation Working GroupEliana Lima
  • https://docs.folio.org/docs
  • this is basically a manual created by the FOLIO community
  • Reporting has its own section: Reporting with LDP1/Metadb
  • This site updates with every flower release of FOLIO, so the Releases tab at the top allows you to switch between FOLIO versions
  • Reporting documentation is a bit different, since there isn't a direct link between our work and the FOLIO flower releases. The group comes up with an approximation of what is true for reporting at the time when a flower release is made
  • Reporting is also documenting something that isn't specific to FOLIO; LDP is also used by ReShare. There is external documentation for that project, so there is a lot of linking out. Team can't really duplicate existing documentation, so just has to document what isn't documented elsewhere.
  • Naming conventions are hard. LDP is the project, software is now called LDP1 (as of Orchid). Metadb has also been added.
  • Notes for the Reporting Documentation subgroup

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

    • 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

    • Onboarding training
