Simeon Warner and Harry Kaplanian are running this year’s elections for all councils. Please let them know if anyone from PC or TC wants to help out. Also, they ask that you let them know whether you want to change description/qualifications from last year as well as confirm how many seats will be open (should be 5 for each council but not sure whether anyone has/is stepping down).Reminder that 6 seats on the TC/PC were supposed to be 2 year terms, and 5 seats were supposed to be 1 year terms - those 5 seats are the ones open for election this year. The announcement/request for candidates should go out May 9th. Our timetable is:
Call for Nominees May 9, 2022
Nominees due/finalized May 20, 2022
Voting opens May 30, 2022
Voting ends June 17, 2022
Results announce June 20, 2022
New Councils formed/start July 1, 2022
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Previous Notes:
Anybody want to volunteer to help with the election? Please reach out to Mike if you would like to volunteer.
Do we want to make any adjustments to the description/qualifications? Craig McNally to finalize the changes before May 9th.
Kafka has been a part of FOLIO for some time now, and is used by several (~15-18) modules. However, to the best of my knowledge has never received formal acceptance as part of the FOLIO infrastructure. As we make progress with the Localization RFC and iron out wrinkles in the RFC process, maybe we should start thinking about creating an RFC to make Kafka an officially approved FOLIO technology. This will put the improved process through it's paces, and seems to be an easy win for the TC – It would be great if we could say something like: "Not only are we putting processes in place, but we've also started making some technical decisions." at the next community update.
Do we agree this is the right approach, and worthwhile?
