This agenda is subject to (considerable) change. It will settle by early next week.
Agenda: Wednesday, February 8th (Start time: 1:00pm)
1:00 to 2:30: Intro and discussion of current implementations, methods, and tools
Tell us about your deployment (a chance for big-picture introductions and context). Include how you do development, and the specific pain points in your development process.
Answer these questions as part of your intro (this will help guide the emphasis for the next few days):
- Have you done simple UI customization, like changing a label, or hiding a field?
- Have you done more ambitious UI customization, like changing layout of a record editor, or changing theme for whole UI?
- Have you built a new UI widget, or changed the behavior of an existing one?
- Have you done any schema extensions? Simple (few scalar fields) or complex (new, complex schema structures, repeating groups, etc.)?
- Have you added a new procedure or authority?
- What other types of customization have you done?

2:30-3:15: Core development team on development process, development tools, source code repos, etc.
30 minutes of presentation and discussion, and 15 minutes of questions.
Topics:
- How central team uses and manages development tools
- How we use repos (SVN and GitHub), for core development.
- How UCB is managing source code for local work
- Models for implementers to manage their local code, and planning for code contributions
3:15-3:25: Bio break (brief!)
3:25-5:00: Strategies for local and community extensions
This will inform the discussion of how we do specific extensions, to be covered over the next few days.
Topics:
- Comparing notes on how you have approached extensions
- What's coming with regard to the IMLS community of practice templates.
Goals (takeaways that are critical to completion of IMLS grant) include the following. Note that this session is an introduction to these topics - we will not complete all this in 90 minutes! We'll discuss this over the next few days, and will revisit these goals in subsequent sessions.
- A documented approach and set of clear steps for the mechanics of how to assemble the set of extensions that a museum would want to use to build their tenant.
- A framework/model and documentation for:
- where templates and extensions live
- how templates are discovered and accessed
- how templates are they integrated into local development
- how templates are documented and maintained.
- governance models for templates

Agenda: Friday, February 10th (Start time: 9:00am)
Morning
Continued from Thursday: Community code contribution process (discuss development of features, functions, procedures, authorities that any early adopter is considering taking on in 2012 - to make sure that efforts are not being duplicated)
As part of the IMLS National Leadership Grant, these features/functions are currently being developed, have been developed, or were proposed to be developed by a museum involved in the grant.
