free speak round

• what went good, what was bad ?
• what are you planning to do next ?

Meeting Notes:

Jeremy integrated SAP financial system with Airflow.
Jeremy will hold a talk on a Conference in Vancouver: Using ChatGPT to generate FOLIO inventory records. Also, go from MARC via AI to FOLIO ; maybe he can show some other time in SysOps.

Nils was on a Library Convention in Linköping. People of the Finish National Library attended. Altogether 60 people. Many were interested in FOLIO.
Linköping's FOLIO system integrates to the following Union Catalogueing systems: LIBRIS, EBSCO-Catalogue System.

Florian: One library (of Bavarian libraries) that uses ERM.
set up Test Cluster

Florian developed ways to do Backups in Kubernetes
Ingolf: Maybe Florian / BVB with Florian Kreft can show some of the slides you showed on the German FOLIO Conference, next time in SysOps ?
Florian: minio and Grafana and Prometheus - Backup and Monitoring
Florian Kreft did some work on Helm Charts 
Florian G. showed setup with Kubespray ; was recorded (in German) - maybe the FOLIO Helm Charst part can be done again in English

Jeremy also uses Prometheus to do Monitoring
FOLIO uses a lot or memory / Kafka and Elastic Search uses up a lot
   mod-source-record-manager - a Sys Ops topic

Ingolf: Connection between FOLIO and the Union Catalgue was a topic at hbz. Need connection to ExLibris' Alma Network Zone by the end of 2024. Only 4 libraries come into question as a pilot partner, but non of them uses a local library system. Difficult to win them as a development partner for FOLIO. 

Other topics:

From TC: supported technologies - most are only interesting for developers, but postgres version and java version also for Sys Ops : Poppy - Technical Council - FOLIO Wiki

see above. Maybe demos by Florian G. & Florian K. Could be on Nov 17 ; Ingolf will co-ordinate.
