Work continues on updating the outdated pages list. Demian has automated the script that generates the page to run every hour at half-past.

Demian and Mohan should update the DOAJ page and create a NepJol page based on their experiments.

Work is still pending on the PubMed Central “open data sources” page. Mohan also plans to contribute documentation related to integrating SubjectsPlus (which has example XSLT import configs in the project) and Moodle (which is still being researched).

Mohan has offered to fill in for Leila on AI explorations; he is particularly interested in investigating AI tools that help with coding and scripting.

Peter has been using the “Get Unblocked” tool to assist with controller development, etc., for local customizations and has found it very helpful. Invitation link: https://getunblocked.com/team/2ab29fb0-3249-4811-af4d-e4243db36db5/invite/17e12d37-626f-49d3-85ef-07a89b17ec6d

André and Craig will touch base before the next meeting.

Chris has begun work on the VPAT. He has installed some browser plugins like Wave and Lighthouse to seek clarification on some points (e.g. are some of the A-level items addressed directly by the browser, or do we have some responsibility for them?). He's going to do more work this week and hopes to have this ready in parallel with the 10.1 release.

He will share work in progress on Slack for anyone who is interested.

Chris has finalized the “supports VuFind®” logo.

We need to draft an agreement covering use of the logo.

Chris is going to share a website with useful legal templates; Demian and Mohan can use this as a foundation to build a draft to share with the group.

Demian has also drafted the initial books page.

Mohan's reimbursement for the Sri Lanka trip has been processed.

Both events were successful; there is a lot of enthusiasm for the project.

Slides from the Summit have been uploaded to the wiki; video processing is still underway.

The group photo will be uploaded to the wiki.

Because her company is retiring their VuFind® instances, Leila will no longer be able to participate in the PMC; we will need to fill her vacancy. She is willing to continue to support our efforts in the interim, if needed.

There was discussion about possible recruitment options; it was agreed that finding a candidate outside of Europe might be preferable to maintain team diversity. Demian will investigate a couple of leads to fill the vacancy.

Some other possible items for the future:

• “Good first issue” highlighting
• Outreach to forks for new feature contributions
• Look at It Take a Village Toolkit Governance Activities.
• Look at It Take a Village Toolkit Technology Activities.

None this month.
