[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] next DIG meeting

Mon Jun 19 10:28:29 EDT 2017

Wonderful news, Joe!
I was just thinking to myself that it was time I finally got involved with DIG - - and your message appeared last week.  I will need to learn the ins and outs of documentation but I am a fast learner.  I responded to your Doodle and I am looking forward to working with the group.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] next DIG meeting

Good day everyone,

Well, having heard two positive responses and no counter arguments, let’s go ahead and plan the next DIG meeting.

I have setup a doodle poll here:  https://doodle.com/poll/zhetisre9rzkvi45

I have left the time for each day at 2pm Eastern for now, since that is the historical time that has been used, seems reasonable for allowing members on both coasts to participate.  As with a permanent date, we can discuss what time works best for the largest number of us as the meeting as well.

So, with that in mind, please go ahead and fill out the poll.  In the next couple of days one of us will get an agenda started on the wiki.  Once it’s up, feel free to add items to it or email me if you don’t have access and I’ll see that it gets added.

Have a good day.

Joe

Hi Joe!

Many thanks for volunteering to facilitate DIG! It's a great group to work with, and I agree that we do better when there is a facilitator on hand to keep us focused. I also believe the "fine art of cat herding" is much more important in this role than understanding the ins and outs of documentation. What we need is someone to keep the meetings going and to keep us focused on whatever goals we are working on at a particular point in time. There are many of us on hand who can help bring you up to speed on the documentation processes.

Would you be willing to put out a Doodle poll to schedule the next meeting? We had traditionally met on the first Thursday of the month, but I think it's a good time to also consider what the best regular meeting date is for current participants. I'm sure one of the current DIG participants (Jane, Remington, or me) could help you pull together the meeting agenda, and we could further discuss the position then.

Thanks again for volunteering your time!

Kathy

Good day DIG members,

I am writing to volunteer as a potential DIG facilitator.  There are a couple of different reasons why I am interested.

First, I recently completed my responsibilities as chair of the 2017 conference local arrangements committee, and would like to stay active in the broad Evergreen community.  Second, between my work with that committee as well as other collaborative projects I have worked on more locally, I have some experience in the fine art of cat herding, that such a role no doubt requires.  Finally, I personally believe that good documentation is a critical part of the long term success of a project like Evergreen, and I believe that that cause will be advanced more effectively with someone in the community facilitating the interest group.
I will admit, that I make this offer coming from a place of having only limited experience writing documentation, reformatting documentation or committing in git, but these are skills that I am interested in acquiring anyway, so it would dovetail nicely with that goal.

With this in mind, how would you all like to proceed?

My thought is that it would be worthwhile for the DIG to hold a meeting this month, discuss the situation and decide if I can provide a useful contribution for DIG in this manner.

Thank you and have a good day.

Joe
