Apologies:

1. Review of Action Items from Previous Meeting

  • ALL: submit signed Conflict of Interest policy acknowledgments to Demian for submission to the OLF. ONGOING
  • Mohan: make further progress on updating Open Data Sources wiki pages. ONGOING
  • Leila: create link to draft Documentation survey. DONE
  • Demian: add Community Call survey result report to next Community Call agenda. DONE
  • André/Demian: continue to work on pull request #2598 for lokalise compatibility. ONGOING
  • Oliver: investigate status of CINECA's VuFind support. DONE
  • ALL: think about fundraising strategies, and possible uses of raised funds, for continuation of fundraising conversation next time. ONGOING

2. Documentation

Leila posted a draft documentation survey.

3. Conflict of Interest Policy

Demian has posted the Conflict of Interest Policy on the website, and has opened pull request #2653 to link to it from the governance document.

Several PMC members still need to submit signed COI policies; in some cases, there is still institutional discussion underway.

4. Translation Platform

Work was completed on pull request #2598. André did a test export from the platform and found that it formats quotes differently than VuFind expects; he has submitted a feature request to sort this out, but in the meantime, the standard language file normalization tooling can likely address any problems. More testing should be done.

5. Registered Service Provider Agreement

Chris gave the support web page a redesign to better accommodate more RSP logos “above the fold.”

6. Fundraising Communication Plan

Next planned “membership drive” – in tandem with next Summit, which in turn will likely be timed around the next WOLFcon.

Use of funds:

  • Support Open Library Foundation membership (benefits include Summit support, JIRA management, legal/sustainability support)
  • Support experimental new programs; possible ideas:
    • “Bug bounties” or other small-scale pay-for-work programs
    • Conference “scholarships”? (e.g. pay to get developers physically together for collaboration)
    • Hiring project staff (high bar!)

7. Possible Future Actions

Some other possible items for the future:

Other Items

Demian was reminded while reviewing the governance document that everybody's first terms on the PMC will be expiring in April, 2023. If anyone does not plan to renew for another two years, they should let Demian know.
