Yogesh Kumar sees new Bugfest testers but number of claimed test cases is still low; more people need to engage to reach our goal to finish Bugfest till end of month.
Jeremy is about to send out a notice on behalf of PC, awaits approval. Where should it be posted: email and/or through SIGs? => Should be sent by email.
Jana Freytag: RA SIG seeks new co-convenor; should be announced on general folio slack channel

Prioritization rollout in the SIGs
@Kristin Martin@Martina Schildt
Review of Prioritization process in Acquisition SIG:
Desired outcome: Jira dashboard of features identified as SIG priorities that may not be slated for a release, but can be picked up by development teams.
Questions for discussion:
Do you already have a mechanism for your SIG for collecting priorities?
Are priorities represented in Jira or through another means?
Do you keep a topic backlog/topic page that you can draw on to develop priorities?
Are there dormant features that should be revisited?
What barriers do you have in collecting priorities?
What do you think would be a good time frame for collecting priorities?
What can the PC do to help your SIG with this work?
Martina Schildt opens topic by quickly presenting how ACQ SIG is doing prioritisation:
Wiki page (see above) for implementer topics; topics will be discussed in SIG and wiki page is amended
From topcis Jira tickets are created; each ticket can be voted with the like button (upper right)
High votes do not garantee rapid development, but developers can orient on that if they have spare dev time
Jira dashboard with most voted tickets
Discussion of Questions above: (not final, Martin needs to consult recordings)
Jana: RA SIG has backlog list, no voting process, but prioritzing gaps, work through it in meetings Gap list RA SIG
Existing Jira tickets are searched and linked
person responsible for a gap should create tickets
there are trainings for creating tickets => it would be good to have this for others as well; in chat: there are wiki pages for that: Getting Started for Product Owners
are tags used for tickets? => currently not
There is need for volunteers for creating/maintaining the tickets
Martina: ERM has similar system as ACQ SIG; ERM SIG is willing to adopt process
Laura: LD SIG has small parking lot, currently planning meetings is more of a topic and curently there are also no implementers; the prioritisation process will be discussed, important MM SIG is more difficult, difficult to come to an agreement on priorities as institutions have very differnt needs
Alexis: there need no necessary be agreement; priorities should surface needs
Kristin: AI SIG looked at have spreadsheet
more info from spreadsheet should go into Jira
Dashboards can help people get active if they’re concerned with something in folio
Martina: cleaning up the tickets is important
Laura: things that have been thinthreaded/half implemented should be revisited, what approaches are there?
Kristin: timing would be good now for that; but thinthreaded things may not be visible in Jira as they may be marked as done; some kind of survey would have to be done
Jana: going though backlogs and closing deprecated features may remove load
Caitlin: Jira tickets can be bulk updated, eg. add labels; special permissions are needed; Holly used to do it; Permissions may need to be adjusted. Peter can look into it
=> there should be a recorded session about creating and maintaining tickets
Sharon: Reporting SIG use github issues, easier and faster to organise for their needs; with Reporting app SIG returns to Jira. Meta DB is managed through github issues.
Charlotte: mod-reporting, ui-ldp and mod-ldp all were managed with JIRA
Charlotte: It would be useful if all members had permissions to use tags to label tickets; ?
Kristin: Prioritisation rollout till Trillium; but usable beginning next year; standardized tagset for better search
Martina: How can the PC help convenors discuss / roll out this process in SIGs
Sharon: maybe there should be a Jira support group; Caitlin in chat: maybe a slack channel
nobody should not to get their things done because they don’t know Jira
Charlotte: When talking to devs: If it isn’t in Jira, it doesn’t exist
Tod: this topic parallels with lifecycle of definition of done in different teams
