 ====== VuFind® Newsletter: September, 2022 ======
-:!: This document is a draft and still subject to change.
 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+After a quiet August, September was a busy month for the VuFind® community, in large part because the month opened with two major events (WOLFcon 2022 and the [[community:conferences:summit_2022|2022 VuFind® Summit]]). Those that missed the Summit can view video of all of the sessions on the event's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-eI0-ofCRg&list=PL5_8_wT3JpgGQ9an5Ya8GYdyKKdYpSUD8|YouTube playlist]]. In addition to talks highlighting new VuFind® features and interesting implementations, the Summit provided an opportunity to plan for the future. One significant outcome is an intention to better utilize the monthly Community Calls to coordinate and distribute work on upcoming releases.
+On the subject of the Community Call, a [[https://surveys.americangeosciences.org/index.php/638263|survey]] has been opened to collect feedback about the timing and content of the free monthly event. Please consider filling this out to help ensure that the calls remain relevant and accessible. Having more active participants in the call could help to improve our development speed and capacity.
+As announced at the Summit, VuFind® welcomed its first Registered Service Provider: [[https://www.effective-webwork.de/|effective WEBWORK]]. In addition to offering support and assistance to VuFind® users, effective WEBWORK is now directly supporting the community and helping to ensure the project's future!
+September also saw significant work completed on VuFind®'s code: not only the usual blend of fixes, minor improvements and dependency upgrades, but also some significant new features, including a configurable cookie consent interface, and the ability for VuFind® to act as an OAuth2/OpenID identity provider.
+Finally, the Project Management Committee met following their August hiatus. In addition to moving forward existing PMC projects (documentation improvements, the [[community:membership_levels_and_benefits:rsp|Registered Service Provider]] program, etc.), the group also began discussing the possibility of implementing a standard platform for managing the project's translations (in place of the current somewhat-manual process).
