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 Meetings

Sharon

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?

-great idea

-streamlining

-let's try it out; if too specific, we can always try another way

Review our 2023 goals
