February 21: Open Source Panel

Webinar on Open Source Panel like the panel session at ALA Midwinter

Description.

Host: Peter Murray


Forum went well. Went in some different directions from MidWinter. 34 attendees. Noted that FOLIO representation needs some differentiation from other open source projects - talking points regarding participation of commercial interests: quality, timeliness, sustainability, funding, resources, etc. No questions from the audience today - plant some in the future to help increase participation? Perhaps panel was too big for it to flow as quickly/smoothly?


March 7: Roadmap Update

Host: Sharon Wiles-Young

Hkaplanian can do, needs partner to demo. Rather than developers, the product owners will present what their teams. Peter will send an email out to product owners.

Need to stress how many developers are involved in the project plus talking points (above). In the wrap up at the end?

Peter Murray will rework description based on the product owners involvement.

Michael Winkler will be at Durham that day and will figure out how others can start the forum.

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
  • 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
  • Topic for Fall? How libraries are viewing themselves as support cohorts. How is OLE supporting early adopters - panel of deans.
