Agenda

(meeting notes below)

...

  • Call for New Agenda Items
    • (No new agenda items)
  • MAP open pull request and the knowledge base for merging pull requests
    • Who to ask regarding who might be appropriate for enquiring regarding reviewing and merging pull requests
    • Is there a Documentation Interest Group? There was one for a Working Group?
    • https://samvera.github.io/core_components.html#samveragithubio
      • James needs to take ownership of this, there was an update for this
      • Lynette does not know of an Interest Group, there wasn't much support
      • For now, the recommendation would be to put out a request for anyone on the samvera-tech mailing list
      • Lynette can review it in order to ensure that this can be integrated without breaking the GitHub Pages site
        • One can clone this and ensure that Jekyll builds the site within a local development environment
    • Tamsin: As a matter of policy, anyone can move this forward
      • Other than this, the gatekeeping mechanism is just to issue a pull request and request a review
      • The Metadata Interest Group should not feel hesitant to merge pull requests, there should not be imposter syndrome over this
    • Heather will relay that one should not hesitate  back to members of the Metadata IG
    • Thomas: Please recall that GitHub is a versioning tool, and is not just for software
    • Heather: Where might someone find the documentation for referencing policies regarding who can/cannot issue pull requests and what is involved in reviewing and merging pull requests
      • There is a CONTRIBUTING.md, but this might not be practically referenced on a regular basis
      • PR Checklist
    • Tamsin: It would be nice to have a bundle of resources which can be offered on a regular basis, particularly as it could be useful for onboarding those who are new to the process of contributing
      • Heather: There is a Confluence Page which can be referenced for this
      • Perhaps enumerate a list of contributions which can be undertaken which do not involve joining and participating in a Working Group
  • Community Updates
    • Starting the half-hour Office Hours sign-up process is going to be addressed soon
      • Aim is to have this addressed within a 2 month period, and will look to try to have leaders present on a topic, or, welcome questions
      • This could be defined pretty broadly
        • Example: Have a developer who has had contributed only a small number of commits discuss their experience with making smaller contributions
      • Propose to meeting every other week (in order to avoid conflicts with the Hyrax Interest Group)
    • OASIS Attorney and the IIIF Repository
      • Michael B. Klein has wanted to move this into the samvera GitHub Organization
      • Anything with a simple Apache 2 license should not require that anything be signed
