PC meeting minutes 9/21/2023

PC meetings has introduced a new schedule: Thursdays 10 am - 10:55 am EST

3 new subgroups:

• Re-architecting impacts: Wiki Page. The working group has had 2 meetings. Purpose: evaluate the proposal for Re-achitecting the FOLIO as product. This proposal was presented by Vince Bareau and Craig McNally at a couple of sessions at WOLFcon. 
• SIG Updates: Wiki Page. 4 members. Reviewing the monthly SIG reports while there is a sense that the current isn't surfacing problems and we want to restructure this. This group is also trying to think how this ties in with the Roadmap. The subgroup will also look at the scope, and model for the Re-architecting work presented by Vince Bareau. This new work need to be anchered in one of the existing SIG. Kristin Martin suggest that the PC do a regular SIG report in one of the upcoming meetings in October
• J. Eustis: Group is creating a template to submit issues to PC. 2nd meeting is tomorrow.
• Meeting Hygiene: Meet first time yesterday, and will meet every 2 weeks. Converted the ideas from the PC shoulder meeting on 8/25/2023, and converted it to a spread sheet: a) structure, ... Meeting times to be more inclusive for people not is Europe and US. 

List App: This app was approved by the PC, but the TC review is still in process. Will meet tomorrow (9/22/2023) for final decision.

Quesnelia release: Proposal to set the initial date for the planned Quesnelia release until April 29th - [draft] Quesnelia (R1 2024) - The date is picked to avoid conflict with Easter Holiday and Spring Breaks. 

There was no meeting last week. The minutes for the 8-31-2023 are up. PC working groups are being setup. For this group here, an important one is improving or enhancing SIG reports (see draft wiki page). This group will be working on how to optimize SIG reports and how SIG's can get help from the PC. If you have ideas or comments, please reach out to me.

The Technical Council will be meeting today (Technical Council wiki page and calendar) to review the new FOLIO module, mod-fqm-manager. This new FOLIO module is behind the new List App (PTF - List App (Orchid)) which is an App where users can create, save, and manage lists or sets. This was discussed in the PC meeting, 2023-06-08 Product Council Meeting notes. There are screenshots in the 2023-06-08 Metadata Management Meeting notes. If you attended WolfCon, there were 2 presentations (one on new features and the other on architecture). The first iteration is creating, saving and managing sets in one App (users & items). The end goal is to allow users to use the List App for data across FOLIO apps. Is there interest in having the primary software engineer Matt Weaver come to a meeting?
