November 15: FOLIO Development Process: It Takes a Community

  • Recording is up; attendance list has gone out. 38 attendees out of 66 registrations. Rough guess is 50% of attendees involved in the project, 50% not.
  • Hearing reports of people having problems getting in. Firefox is a problem, but not Chrome; blog link was bad but Twitter link was okay.
  • (Finding a new version of openlibraryenvironment.org theme!) The date to the side of the blog post is the date it was posted, not the date of the event itself.
  • Getting statistics on YouTube views? Something to look into.
  • What would be useful is a 5-minute video on how to get started with the communication channels.
  • In introduction to the FOLIO forum, point out that URLs and quick answers will be posted to Twitter in real-time. (Thanks Kathleen and Rachel!)

Review Idea Bank 
  • 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.
  • Reach out to convener of Implementation SIG (late Spring?)
  • 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
  • April/May timeline, before beta implementation in June/July: have a beta site talk about their interest in FOLIO (how and why as a strategy); what are some of the mechanics of the site doing the implementation
