Thinking about our funding

• Is this one-time money ($150k-$200k in FY24) or are we planning to have a certain amount to spend each year. If we imagine ongoing, how much should we plan on?

• Funding: ongoing vs. one-time - "ongoing" is not necessarily "continuous"

Staffing for ongoing roles

• Community Developer Advocate (TC, PC, Support SIG)

  • There are 2 goals: where do new developers are pointed to to find their place to work? And then help with their practical onboarding?
  • Developers come to the project with different expectations and interests 
  • Development efforts need to be coordinated and cultivated
  • Onboarding interview to find out what a developer wants to do and where to work and what kind of training is needed
  • Outcome: general agreement from CC about this approach. PC/TC to do some more refinement, how an engagement would look like concretely - which kind of authority such an advocate will have?
    • Refine the scope of work 
    • How to find the first CDA?  → Out of the existing pool of people as an rotating role → How?
    • OLF can only reimburse an institution for its engagement, not hire someone directly
    • How much will this engagement cost? Part-time job is feasible (20 to 50%) 
      • Paula: I'll have firm $$ next meeting of how much we'll have from FY23 to spend. 

• Product Owner (see discussion 2023-05-22 and questions of PO divorced from teams. Product Owners: Available positions)

Ongoing programs/subscriptions

• FOLIO reference environment (TC, staffing and hosting costs)

• Airtable for prioritization (TC, subscription cost)- Cost not clear yet and also not clear that heavyweight prioritization is best approach

One-time projects

• Security audit (TC)

• Privacy assessment working with Privacy SIG (TC)

• Github actions migration (TC)

• Innovation grant (TC)
