October meeting notes

No corrections were made to the minutes.

1. PINES/GPLS Reports RFP update, if any

• The reports interface development project has been postponed due to lack of funds.
• Cristina will let the taskforce know if anything else develops on this.

2. Documentation

• Please review what exists and submit what is needed to Jenny (jennifer.turner(at)mnsu.edu)
  • Amy asked for clarification on sharing reports documentation.
  • Documentation can be emailed to Jenny directly (email above), sent to the reports listserv (evergreen-reports@list.evergreen-ils.org), or linked to it on the DocuWiki page (http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php). This last option is great if it is something that can't be easily integrated into the DIG documentation
• * Cristina has linked her reports documentation to Evergreen Community wiki page under Community Tutorials.

3. Jeff Godin and JasperReports

• Jeff reported that TADL went live with JasperReports last week. They are continuing to add reports.
• TADL hopes to hope to have a public demo up before the end of the year.
• It was hinted that this - and other reports-related topics - would be great presentations at the Evergreen Conference.

4. Evergreen reports training pre- or post-conference at Evergreen Annual Conference

• No update at this time. Jenny volunteered to inquire about this after the meeting.
• People should also start brainstorming ideas for a Reports Interest Group meeting at the conference

• PINES has started a reports list-serv locally for library staff to troubleshoot reports. Cristina reports that this has been a good way to share information. Jenny reminded the group that the evergreen-reports@list.evergreen-ils.org could be used for sharing/problem solving in the greater Evergreen Community.
