2020-11-11 Tech Council Meeting Minutes

Discussion and notes:

The following points we're raised:

• The organizational structure presented may have a negative affect on attracting developers as it diminishes the role of Technology (TC "reports" to CC). It reinforces the concept that FOLIO is more about community and features than technology
• Terms of 1,2 years may impede continuity - consider longer terms
• Unclear how the TC and PC should communicate - do decisions need to go through and/or be approved by CC? Consider the case where TC recommends the project put resources on a Tech Debt Item. Does PC decide where resources are applied or does CC, or does CC have to 'approve' PC's decisions? The decision processes should be fleshed out.
• This doesn't seem to address what many feel is the largest issue for sustainability - where will the development resources come from as we build and maintain more and more functionality
• The doc should state that all meetings will be open (it's implied but better to be specific)
• Would like to discuss again next week.
