2. Group working on "Defining roles, responsibilities, and decision-making frameworks" - update from Mike Giarlo
3. Valkyrie update - Trey and/or Esme
   1. Valkyrie started as an experiment to see if we could create an air gap between our front-ends and new back-end options. The experiment began because the current stack would need to be tweaked from top to bottom to accommodate this, and because Princeton has been experiencing performance problems with our stack.
   2. The Data Mapper Working Group (DMWG) was formed to bring the community in on the experiment, and their goal is to produce an MVP application using the patterns implemented in Valkyrie. The scope of the application is to be able to upload files, create collections, manage files, etc. (Trey Pendragon – can you fill these in?) – basically, the "core" functionality of a Hyrax application.
   3. Question about MVP scope
      1. Why should the MVP scope include fixity, bag import/export, and versioning?
      2. See above about "core" functionality of Hyrax. Hyrax does not provide specific fixity features, other than surfacing the result of objects' last fixity check. If you choose a backend that doesn't natively support fixity checks, e.g., PostgreSQL, it's not Valkyrie's job to invent this functionality.
      3. Same answer for bag import/export.
      4. As for versioning, Hyrax does provide the ability to upload new versions of uploaded files, and restore old versions. This has been added as an issue to Valkyrie repo. (Are we also saying it's included in MVP scope, Trey Pendragon?)
   4. DMWG has its first sprint this week. 9 people on it. Went very well.
   5. DMWG sunsetting in advance of Samvera Connect
4. For next month's Samvera Partner call, Aug 11 ______ will take notes, and ________ will facilitate. (Ooops, missed this, Daniel Coughlin. Help?)
