11:00-11:10 | Welcome to Day 1 | Welcome and review of the Samvera Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines | Everyone | Heather Greer Klein (Samvera) | |
11:10-11:30 | Turn that Big Challenge into Big Growth | We’ve all heard that the biggest challenges offer the best rewards. But we don’t always know how to tackle the large complex challenges that come our way. As a software engineer, I believe that learning how to break down projects and tasks is the most important skill we can have. In this talk, I will discuss some strategies that I have used to analyze, organize, and manage the projects that I have worked on. But don’t worry if you’re not a software engineer, these strategies can be applied to more than just software, including your personal and career goals. | Everyone | Lea Ann Bradford (SoftServ by Scientist.com) | |
11:30-11:40 | OUTATIME: Managing your time without a Delorean | When multiple projects demand your time and attention, how do you ensure each get their fair share? | Everyone | Daniel Pierce , Jim Halliday (Indiana University) | |
11:40-11:50 | Developing in the Cloud: An Update | Last October, I gave an in-depth presentation of our new cloud-based development environment. This lightning talk will provide an update as to how it's been working for us technologically, financially, and –most importantly – in terms of Developer Happiness. | Developers & Managers | Michael Klein (Northwestern University) | |

12:00-12:20 | How Can YOU Prevent Scope Creep: Strategies to Mitigate Scope Creep on Tickets with Client Feedback | The Problem: What’s going on with tickets with client feedback? Why does some feedback seem out of scope for the ticket? This leads to scope creep, which leads to lost dev hours and money down the budget. Why is this happening? The Solution: What strategies can we implement to prevent scope creep? | Teams that have direct client communication and feedback | Diem Tran (Software Services by Scientist.com) | |
12:20-12:50 | Avalon Community Update | Updates on Samvera technologies and their related Interest and Working Groups. | Everyone | Jon Cameron (Indiana University) | |

1:00-1:20 | Lessons Learned Migrating from UV3 to UV4 | An open source project’s journey from using Universal Viewer version 3 to version 4, laden with its foibles and replete with knowledge gained. Updating the version gave the entire team a deeper understanding of how to work with the media delivery system UV and enabled our site to pull in the latest developments in Universal Viewer. This talk will delve into the upgrade process, what hurdles had to be overcome, and the solutions employed to give us an up to date release in production. | All levels of developers | Kait Sewell (Software Services by Scientist.com ) | |
1:20 - 1:40 | Create Digital Humanities and Exhibition Sites using IIIF Collections and Canopy IIIF | A key benefit of using IIIF APIs to serve Manifests is the ability of these resources (ex: images) and metadata contained within them to be provided to the world in an interoperable format. Given their interoperable data model, these IIIF Manifests can also be easily integrated into our own unique digital humanities and exhibition projects. Canopy IIIF is an open source project leaning on Next.js that allows users to build an on-the-fly website using only a IIIF Collection (a collection of Manifests) as a data source. On build, Canopy generates a browseable and searchable digital collection style website and provides a straightforward solution for adding context to those resources – extending them for digital humanities and exhibition use. Potential use cases include:
Canopy IIIF extends the features of Next.js to produce a full-text search index using FlexSearch, provides support for both IIIF Presentation API 2.x and 3.0 specifications, and automatically generates facets based on the curated metadata labels and values found within Manifests. This presentation will demonstrate how Canopy IIIF can be used to construct new digital humanities and exhibition projects and discuss future plans for the framework. | Developers, Digital Humanities Librarians, Project Managers | Mat Jordan (Northwestern University) | |

2:05-2:25 | These are the Tools I know I know | Sometimes we need to spend time sharpening our tools…and learning about other tools. Let’s walk through some of the tools that I’ve adopted to help in all the work I do: writing, reading, coding, testing, and “boring old” thinking. This will be a mix of command-line tools, Ruby’s REPL, and my beloved Emacs (as time permits). | Developers | Jeremy Friesen (SoftServ by Scientist.com) | http://takeonrules.com/2023/05/07/these-are-the-tools-i-know-i-know/ |
