| * | Technical Council Goals & Objectives | | Background: - A while back the CC asked the PC/TC to review a set of high level goals and objectives.
- The TC determined that it was worthwhile to refine the list, leading to the formation of a working group
- Additional pain points were identified/provided by other groups, e.g. SysOps SIG, etc. and worked into this TC G&O draft:
Goals for today: - TC approval of this list
- If approval cannot be attained today, define concrete action items to get us there.
Notes: - What is the purpose of this document?
- To serve as a declarative list of things "we" (the TC and FOLIO project in general) intend to be working on
- Helps identify where different efforts intersect
- Are these goals and objectives for the TC? Or for the FOLIO project in general?
- The project in general. The TC will be involved in some capacity - endorsing solutions, forming working groups, organizing, communicating, etc.
- Is the expectation that development (or other) "resources" would be allocated to working towards these goals/objectives?
- Not necessarily, but worth considering in some cases.
- Document Review:
- Immediate Initiatives
- These are things which are either currently in progress, or which require immediate attention.
- One of these may be larger scope than just the TC... (standardized community terminology)...
- Suggestion: Tod Olson to adjust wording of this bullet to indicate that the TC is involved, but this is really a larger effort spanning multiple groups/councils.
- Short term initiatives
- These also may already be in progress, or (hopefully) starting soon (~1 year timeframe).
- As we review this document, it seems daunting/overwhelming. Is the TC really going to "own" all of these things?
- Much of this has come from community pain points.
- Is this declarative or imperative?
- Maybe reframing this as "FOLIO technical goals and objectives" makes it easier to digest.
- These are things the project intends to work on, and since the TC's role is to provide technical oversight/guidance the TC will be involved in some capacity.
- How are we intending to use this document?
- A lot of discussion... Difficult to keep up with notes → go back and update based on recording and/or summarize
- Suggestion: Take the dates/timeframes off of this, and reframe this as "possible goals and objectives". Publish this and start using it; revisit periodically (quarterly?)
Next Steps: - Tod Olson to review the notes, and try to make some adjustments to the document as per the suggestions above.
- Check in on this effort during the usual subgroup status updates. If needed we can use another dedicated topic discussion meeting to wrap this up.
