2. WOLFcon / VuFind Summit 2022
Oliver will be attending in person, and may be able to lead the Introduction to VuFind session.
Mohan suggested that it would be good to announce plans for next year's Summit at the end of this year's; if we can manage an in-person event tied to WOLFcon, it would be good to let people know about that well in advance. We should find out the location of the next planned WOLFcon to determine the feasibility of this.
The VuFind Summit call for papers has closed, with seven submissions received (one of which is a two-part event). This seems to be enough content to support a two-day Summit; we could expand to three days if any PMC members which to present and have not already submitted proposals. Demian is willing to draft a schedule once we agree on an overall length.
3. Documentation
Current assignments:
- Mohan: review/edit/update MeSH, DoAJ and PubMed Central pages; add NepJol page.
- Demian: InTech Open and Linked Data pages.
4. OLF Update
Email updates still pending.
5. Release Planning
Work on the 8.1 release is nearly complete. Demian proposes creating the release-8.1 branch and merging dev-9.0 into dev soon.
6. Registered Service Provider Agreement
Craig has finalized the document and is working on the submission form.
Scott from OLF has reviewed the result and approves of it.
Next steps:
- Once submission form is ready, reach out to existing VuFind vendors to gauge interest and solicit feedback
- Incorporate the RSP program into the wiki in a way that makes it clear how it relates to our existing membership model; perhaps we need a combined table of benefits to show how these things compare to each other.
7. Video Editing Update
All outstanding video editing work has been completed.
8. Possible Future Actions
Some other possible items for the future:
- Develop a fundraising communication plan - after February resource planning
- Discuss a strategy for approaching VuFind services vendors (both for funding support and trademark compliance)
- Develop a documentation maintenance plan
- Investigate Dokuwiki enhancements (“old page” alerts, “page ownership” mechanism)
- Community Call restructuring / marketing
- “Good first issue” highlighting
- Outreach to forks for new feature contributions
- Marketing project (better VuFind definition, website improvements, etc.)
- Publication / presentation efforts related to PMC and sustainability
