Hi Mike! Thanks for the great intro today. I've started the convo about membership and will keep you updated
As promised, I'm drafting also pitches for management to fund one-time community contributions
How much do you need to fund that contract documentation position and when do you need it by?
I'd also be interested to hear your thoughts on what a one-time contribution to help diversify the development base might look like - amount, how it might work etc.
Questions
Boaz: how are the LOC analysts integrated in the project?
The LOC will hire the people they need (3 product owners for the next 3 years) and direct them to their groups of interests to fulfil the LOC's implementation needs
Not necessarily devlopers but SME's with MM focus
Focus is "get implementation done"
Marc: How does the conversation with the LoC participating relate to the community council’s group for capacity challenges?
Difference between resources to the community and resources to fulfil own institutions needs in FOLIO
Mike: LOC will direct their people to those groups and needs that are needed for their own implementation
Harry: LOC might consider to provide the done developments for the LOC open source to be used in the community- Community engagement will follow on implementation
Kristin: LOC PO's will not be leading open meetings / initiatives but concentrate on LOC's needs.
Need financial support if we want to fund Marcia B for 2-3 months at 8-10 hours per week so that she can pass on what she has done, approx. $3,500 per month.
A subgroup of PC and CC is preparing an initiative to onboard new community members and point them directly to specific needs: technical editor and testers are two highest needs right now
MDG; this group is asking the CC to find funding for the technical editor
Boaz: who would this person report to?
KKH: maybe the documentation group, which in turn reports to PC
Ian W: that would be up to the funding institution/group
Dracine: this role is more like a Product Owner and doesn't really need a supervisor but should report to the PC
Harry: might be better to report into the Product Owners, so would report to the lead PO and not a committee like PC
ACTION: The CC will look into external funding sources
