Roll call and actions from previous meetings

All

Thanks to TAC members for recent listserv contributions:

• Listserv
• Code, documentation and bug reporting

Staff

• Tech Lead – Laney McGlohon starts Monday. She will be managing technical elements – code review, code committers, encouraging more contributions, managing relationship with HM
• Program manager – Christine Di Bella is program manager effective now! 
• New staff - reset with groups; need to review staff and determine which staffer would be the best person to work with each group

Roadmap

• The roadmap is a planning and communication tool to help the community know what to expect in terms of future development work and aid in planning for upcoming releases and application upgrades.   A small team created the initial doc, shared with UAC/TAC; positive comments received about transparency and planning thus far. Feedback welcome.

Development

• HM continuing work - refactoring an initial priority
  • Small release in Feb – bug fixes, pull requests, etc. 
  • Major release in March - includes initial reports refactoring; beta PUI
• Requirements work continues

Elections process – Nomination Committee Chair will be decided soon and then nominations process will begin

Governance Board - meeting in March

Membership  - We currently have 315 members. The most recent (i.e. since the last TAC meeting at the end of November) are:

• Concordia Historical Institute (St. Louis)
• Hong Kong Baptist University
• Kennesaw State University (Georgia)
• North Carolina State University
• Rhode Island State Police Museum Foundation
• University of Texas at Austin

Laney will probably give these updates in the future.

• No current lead or chair for the group
• Poll sent out to group to get together with Laney, HM, and group to talk about how the group can continue to work well with Laney and HM
• Please fill out the Doodle poll.

• Focused on trying to create a list of FAQs to extend the technical documentation
• Spent a lot of time reviewing listserv topics
• Put together a call for the beginning of February to do a rundown of all current technical documents and review them

Not much to report. Met today (1/19) to resume backlog and icebox grooming in support of ongoing HM development work. Future prioritization work will primarily address critical and blocking bugs, though feature requests will be considered where appropriate.

(Adding info here but not attending the meeting) The sub-team tested completed JIRA issues for the December 8th candidate release of 1.52. The sub-team has been assigned any additional testing since then.
