FOLIO community,

I wanted to formally introduce you to the Tech Council that has been formed for FOLIO.

The role of the Tech Council is to:

Set general technical direction, carefully abiding by our ‘local decision making where possible’ guiding principle.
Define processes, procedures and standards required for contributing code to the project
Mediate technical conflicts between collaborators or foundation projects
Proactively advise the Product Council on technical issues that will require effort and prioritization
Respond to requests from the Product Council on technical issues

I am the convener of the TC, and the full list of members is:

Vince Bareau - EBSCO
Zak Burke - OLE And Cornell University
Mike Gorrell - Index Data, Convener
Mike Gunning - EBSCO
Peter Murray - Index Data
Tod Olson - OLE and Chicago
Jakub Skocsen - Index Data
Mark Vekselr - EBSCO
David Zellhoefer - GBV and Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

Our slack channel is #tech-council, and our wiki site is here: https://wiki.folio.org/display/TC/Technical+Council

The wiki’s sidebar includes links to our charter, backlog, and meeting minutes. In the coming weeks you can expect more communication from us as well as requests for participation in tool evaluations, piloting processes, and other work we’ll need your help with.

Please feel free to reach out to me or any of the other members with questions or suggestions.

Thanks!
