RFCs

All

New RFC to review from Olamide

• https://github.com/folio-org/rfcs/pull/4

@Vijay Gopalakrishnan suggested that the first step would be for TC members to start commenting on the RFC @Craig McNally will remind folks to start giving feedback

Today:

•  How to move on to the second stage - could resolve existing questions and resurface them in the next stage

• Moving on allows opening up the audience, impact on upgrades could be significant

• Marc will resolve his comments if needed. Olamide can decide what should be in the RFC and what should be out of scope. Olamide will look at most recent questions, document responses and then resolve.

Cyber Resilience Act

@Craig McNally /All

From @Craig McNally in #tech-council:

This was brought to my attention earlier today...
https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/open-source-software-vs-the-cyber-resilience-act/
While it's still just a proposal, I think FOLIO should keep an eye on, and maybe even try to get ahead of in anticipation of this.  I will add it to the agenda for next week's meeting.  This is a short read that does a decent job of laying it all out.  Please take a look prior to next Wednesday.  Thanks! 

• Have folks had a chance to read through any of this?

• What, if anything do we think the TC should do about this?

  • Raise awareness among other councils?

  • Seek legal advice in anticipation of this being passed?

  • Is there anything else we want to do to be more prepared for this in the event it does get passed?

Today: Deferred

Ease of Installing FOLIO

All / @Ian Walls 

From last week:

• Ease of installing/deploying FOLIO - @Ian Walls , @Marc Johnson , @Jeremy Huff

  •  Primary task the Tc would take on by making FOLIO easier to get up and running. Would also reduce AWS costs so that the money coming from Membership groups can be flowed to other aspects of FOLIO. Tc is the best equipped group to decide on how to make installing and deploying Folio easier and cheaper.

  • @Craig McNally - Brainstorming open ended session with @Ian Walls and then discuss further before or after WOLFcon depending on the brainstorming session. @Ian Walls and @Tod Olson to frame the topics of discussion for the brainstorming. 

Today:

• Probably defer, but keep on the agenda so we don't lose track of this...
