February 5: FOLIO Year-in-Review


Someone at Chalmers—higher up in the administration?  Why they implemented and what they are seeing at a high-level?

Do we know if someone from Chalmers will be there?

In principle, sounds like a good idea.  Would broadcast a panel from WOLFcon; streaming and recording capabilities will be available at WOLFcon.

Who? ULeipzig (Feb 2020); GBV (Feb 2020). Peter to look to list of MVP implementers to start building a panel for WOLFcon.

Separate forum for hosting implementors (from EBSCO, Index Data, etc.)

Peter McCracken – state of Cornell's implementation expected at the end of January. This argues to making it February 5.  Also avoids Midwinter.

February 19: Roadmap Update

Host: Eric Hartnett

20200109 Eric reports: Harry is good with this date.

Peter asks: what about pairing the roadmap update with a governance update from Mike Gorrell or a circulation apps update.

March 4: Open Library Foundation

Ginny Boyer

20200110 Peter reports: Ginny said that this is likely a good day.  It comes after the OLF board meets at WOLFcon and puts any final touches on the new governance structure, and allows

March 18: Library Data Platform

Nassib Nassar

20200110 Nassib confirms that this date is okay; alternatively March 4 if the OLF forum falls through.

?: Chalmers Implementation (with or without ERM and Circ)


Rachel is the "Chalmers gatekeeper" for presentations, and Forums sounds good for them.

Peter Murray : To check in with Rachel about Chalmers (might cover/pair with Circulation app overview)

?:  Circulation

It has been a while since a review of the ERM apps was done and there are some exciting things happening.  Eric Hartnett to watch for the optimum time in the fall to do an update.  After the start of the year, Chalmers can do an update on their implementation.

?: Inventory update


Lots of changes to inventory layout. Perhaps paired with MARCCat?

Reverse RFP


Harry's document.  Get Harry's input on when this will be ready to present to the world.  Is it something we'd like to do as a Forum?

Role of Subject-Matter Experts in FOLIO

Keep as a FOLIO Forum.

As a part of onboarding new people into the community.  Similar to what we did in the past where we had what each of the SIG conveners talk about what they are doing and how people can get involved.

Series of presentations from PC Chair, SIG Convener, UX Designer, Product Owner, Developer – how does everyone work all together.  Possibly part of the general track of WOLFcon?

Tips and Tricks for Documenting a Project


Part of the general track of WOLFcon?

?: "Beyond ILS” session: Research/Special Collections

Host:

Moderator: Sebastian Hammer

Heidi Mann, Nassib, Mitchell.

On hold for now. Sebastian is confirming with participants.

Preceded by Sebastian/Christopher/Michael with a session about where we are on the project.  What we've discussed with Resource Sharing, for instance. 

?: Panel Discussion of Early Implementers/Adopters Partners


Session on how Chalmers went and what the plans are from others. Representatives from TAMU and UChicago.

Hold until after Chalmers has gone live and gotten their feed under themselves.

Codex
in order to put pressure on ourselves to make some decisions around Inventory and Codex
Review Idea Bank
  • Usage Statistics
  • Presentations could start to look at deployment, particularly in a hosted, non-hosted environment
  • Work to prep for migrations to FOLIO. Get implementation managers on a panel.
  • How FOLIO is impacting libraries now: view from Cornell – wait to reach out until we have better sense of implementation timelines; How are they viewing FOLIO from a strategic perspective
  • What is the international perspective on FOLIO? Can we get a panel of international sites (Australia, GVB) to give their perspectives? Plus, international update
  • Host a Forum in the Spanish language with roadmap discussion and demo, could be hosted by Lydia @ EBSCO, include UNAM development team. Rachel Fadlon to investigate.
  • Podcasting as a possibility to get developers to answer questions about the process, EBSCO has people who be able to edit
  • Panel of PO/SIG facilitator/developer together to discuss the full life cycle, moderated by product owner
  • Codex Revisited, based on the vision statement – including the entity formerly known as authority work.
  • Accessibility features/process of testing – perhaps in the fall after the issues of the latest testing are resolved?
