Standing Technical Meetup - 2023-10-10T23:00:00Z
Here’s a link to the running notes doc and recording of the Standing Technical Meetup - 11th October 23.
Below you can find a summary of the discussion points and actions arising:
Summit Takeaways:
- There was an appreciation for the opportunity to learn more about Sklers work on Silobuster
- The mix of of knowledge amongst those at the summit was discussed.
- Kate highlighted that those newer to the standard seemed to encountering issues and grappling with the questions already faced by experienced members of the community.
Actions:
- Arrange a dedication Silobuster session (perhaps a presentation and Q&A) on this at a future technical meetup.
- Consider how best to cater to newbies and old hands at future summits.
- Consider whether we are adequately documenting and/or communicating the knowledge and experience of the technical community in way that could prevent those new to the standard from unnecessarily covering the same ground.
Survey of the technical community
- It was agreed that it would be a good idea to build on previous work [mapping tooling requirements]( build on previous work undertaken to map out what Open Referral Tools - Google Sheets) by engaging with the wider technical community to understand what tools they would most benefit from.
Action:
- Devin to lead on pulling together a survey.
Validator:
- The group agreed on the need for Validation tooling sooner rather than later and went on discuss
different approaches; service vs downloadable tool vs integratable library the use of YML and licensing. It was agree that when a spec is finalised, we should put out a request for proposals to the broader community.
Actions:
- Greg to will post in the forum asking for more input on Mike’s validator proposal in order to encourage further input with an emphasis on user stories.
- Start drafting a plan re the validator by the next meeting - plan to share at the next meeting
Taxonomies:
- We discussed the potential for code lists, mapping taxonomies. Gregg mentioned that AIRS are undertaking a landscape analysis.
Action:
- Greg to share the work AIRS are doing.
UK update:
- Mike bought attention to the forum thread on the work TPX Impact are doing
- Gave an overview of the key aims of the project which is to review the business case and develop a strategy for mass uptake (should the business case support this).
- Updated on the fortnightly show and tells Sign-up for those here
- Greg recommended as a member of an advisory board. Greg could help steer UK/Global alignment.This could potentially lead to funding for validator but not in the near term.

Hi folks – I’ve been traveling for weeks and only just now getting back into gear, so I’m a bit late on preparation for tomorrow’s standing technical meeting. We have notes here, with potential agenda items carried forward from last time that i’m also pasting below.
Prospective agenda items:
Agenda:
- Silobuster session
- Validator
- Community Survey (Tooling Requirements/Dev Stacks)
- Documentation Review
- Github Project Board
I suspect @skyleryoung might need some more time to prep a SiloBuster session, and we’d probably want to put in some effort to promote it – so maybe that’s not a topic for tomorrow (other than perhaps planning for it)?
I haven’t received more input on the Validator so maybe we can consider ways to elicit such input, including the survey that @devin proposed?
And eager to review the slate of documentation changes.
What else should we address? Let us know!
