Community Update Meeting Feb., 11, 2022
Technical Council:
Review requests: ongoing. Approved mod-inventory-update, a sort of back-end update assistant. Re-evaluation of mod-ldp and ui-ldp are under way. Looking for review teams for three other modules: ui-bulk-edit, ui-marc-authorities, & Translation App.
Recommendation to include criteria around architectural fit, duplicating functions
Finding reviewers is not always easy, modules may require reviewers with specific skills/knowledge
Translation App has significant implications for our approach to translations, may be a larger review/conversation.
Hosted AWS environments. Costs have increased over the last year, TC has been asked to review and make recommendations for changes. Will organize a group of people much closer to operations to advise.
Council Goals/Objectives: Reviewing FOLIO Vision, Strategic Objectives and Initiatives for TC responsibilities. Drafting our own objectives/initiatives document and setting some goals. Expect to have something to report out for quarterly Community Update.
Technical Decision Process: Main issue is how to make technical decisions without making TC a bottleneck: which decisions need to be elevated to TC, and can be made elsewhere and by whom? Has been slow to make progress, forming a subgroup to focus on this.
Governance issues: working though expectations for participation, how to allocate work if there are no volunteers/need to spread work around, processes for creating subgroups. The current load is driving basic questions of how we work.
Capacity Planning:
Product Owners:
Lotus release: POs are working hard to wrap up this release. There are several features at risk for the release and we are addressing these risks.
Team discussed how to incorporate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) earlier in the release cycle.
User Acceptance Testing is in progress or complete for > Title Level Requests, Export orders in EDIFACT format, and Authority control.
Morning Glory: POs are beginning to plan for this release
Team met with Anya to discuss Support SIG and how POs can assist them. One action item: Ask FOLIO Implementers and SIGs to attend Support SIG to help review issues.
