The Hyrax Maintenance Working Group is Group (HMWG) is charged with supporting core maintenance and development for Hyrax in order to provide a stable base of support for the solution bundle. Work includes addressing bugs and other issues as they arise and reviewing pull requests to Hyrax. This working group is not meant to be a replacement for community-led development efforts and/or contributions, but rather, it is meant to augment such efforts and release community members who are not part of the working group from the responsibilities around maintenance of Hyrax.

- The call for participation will be sent to samvera-partners@googlegroups.com, samvera-community@googlegroups.com, and samvera-tech@googlegroups.com, as well as through appropriate slack channels.
- Regular meetings (for sprint planning, stand-ups, etc.) will be held remotely, and will be scheduled at a time and frequency that works best for WG members.
- WG notes and activity, including working drafts of Release Notes, will be documented on the Hyrax Maintenance Working Group wiki page.
Joining a sprint or work cycle
Sprints occur on a 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off cycle, regardless of calendar, holidays, or planned time off.
Use the #hyrax-wg channel on Slack to communicate with other HMWG members. You can check in Slack to find out when the next sprint is scheduled to begin.
During a 2 week sprint, daily stand-up occurs via Zoom at 1pm Eastern each weekday of the 2 week sprint (Monday-Friday). Zoom connection info is pinned in the #hyrax-wg Slack channel.
There is a project board in Github that tracks the issues for a sprint and/or work cycle. The current project board is also pinned in the #hyrax-wg Slack channel but should be identifiable by name at https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/projects.
Preparing for HMWG sprint work
Hyrax code is managed in Samvera's Hyrax git repo on Github. Fork that repository and however you prefer, clone that code for working locally (command line checkout, Github Desktop, download a zip).
Make sure Docker is installed locally to contain and manage a local build for running a local Hyrax application.
The following instructions guide you through installing a Hyrax application using Docker: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/blob/main/CONTAINERS.md
The recommended way to conduct sprint work is to run a Hyrax-based application locally to work on open issues using branches in git. See How to Contribute for details on community contributions for Hyrax (2021-10-20 note: the steps are good but terminology is out-of-date). The essential steps are:
- Fork the repository on Github
- Clone that code for local work
- Create a branch with the issue number in the branch name
- Commit changes to that branch using issue numbers in commit messages
- Run tests and document your changes
- Push that branch up to your forked repository
- Submit a Pull Request (PR) for review and merging to Hyrax repo
