CORAL Steering Committee Meeting Minutes, November 13, 2018

New regular meeting day/time

  • The group agreed to move the meeting to the first Tuesday of the month at the same time.

Status of 3.0.1 release

  • Jeff was unable to make the call so this will be discussed on the admin list
  • Action Item: Steve will initiate the release discussion.

OLF invitation

  • Heather shared Michael Winkler's responses to the group's questions regarding CORAL joining OLF. The discussion mainly revolved around three areas: governance/IP, funding, and what the benefit would. We would transfer the IP but could take it back if the things didn't work out. CalTech still has SCELC grant money that they put towards the OLF fee. The benefits for CORAL would be sustainability and publicity. It would give CORAL a bigger platform and provide more legitimacy to the product and CORAL would also bring more legitimacy to OLF. OLF would provide legal support and financial and technical infrastructure. CORAL is currently under a GPL v3 license. OLF (and Sirsi Dynix) prefers an Apache 2.x license. This is something we may need to reevaluate.
  • Action item: Heather will draft a charter proposal and share with the group. She will also see if she can get additional documentation from OLF. She also plans to create a page for discussion by the CORAL user community.

CC Plus

  • CC Plus is a 2-year IMLS-funded collaboration between a lot of different consortia (VIVA, SCELC, PALSI) to identify ways to manage e-resources at the consortial level. They are looking to develop a system for harvesting usage data via SUSHI and are interested in possibly using CORAL for this purpose. Because they are funded, they would probably be able to pay for the development work. This could lead to the need for development to improve functionality to support consortia in CORAL.
  • Action item: Heather will send out a doodle poll to find a time for the group to have a call with Jill Morris

Roadmap priority

  • The consensus was that an update to the usage functionality should be a priority.
  • CalTech is interested in developing functionality to do bulk record updates.
  • NCState is interested in integration with other systems, particularly SirsiDynix. If CORAL were under the Apache 2.x license, SirsiDynix could work on this integration.
  • Action item: Setting up the roadmap priority needs to be the main agenda item for December's meeting.
