- Outline what needs to be addressed during a manual migration from Waffle
- Sprint Planning
Notes
Sprint Scheduling
- Noah is not available for full-time commitment to the sprints
- First 3 weeks before Summer, Mark and Bess would contribute at the capacity of one FTE (50-75% each)
- From July onwards, they will be at higher capacity
- Earliest date would be May 6th
- Otherwise, it would be July
- (All agree with this)
- Trey: Proposes that the week of May 6th is the first
- Tom won't be available, DCE will be at limited capacity
- Week July 29th would be the second week-long sprint
- Any sprints following these, regroup after May 6th
- Noah: Hoping for any issues which consume significant time might be delegated to themselves
- Would prefer that all participating be attentive to these situations
Assess the Migrated GitHub Project
- Waffle sent Trey an e-mail requesting a seconding attempt at the migration
- Noah: Exploring alternatives to Waffle.io
- Bess: Finds ZenHub to have some appeal
- Can have an unlimited number of projects on the same board
- Trey: Princeton also evaluated this, but found Zube.io to be the preferred platform
- It automatically links Pull Requests to issues, and offers label synchronization
- ZenHub is free, whereas Zube does not offer a free tier of service
- HubBoard should also be explored
- GitHub Projects don't seem to support the linking of issues between Projects
- ZenHub has good bulk management tools for manually addressing the Waffle migration
Sprint Planning
The upcoming sprints need to address the following:
- Propose deprecation of om
- Centralize on the version of Ruby and Rails versions which we test
- Centralize on using CircleCI for continuous integration
- Chris Colvard has added CircleCI to a number of projects in order to support Rails 5.2 across components
- With this has come the CircleCI Orb: https://github.com/samvera-labs/samvera-circleci-orb
- Samvera is on a trial for CircleCI's new pricing structure
- This is hourly (as opposed to the number of boxes/containers used during the testing)
- We have 200 boxes and they track the amount of time which we use
- If the pricing is acceptable after this trial, the enhanced performance might remain the standard
- Otherwise, we might need to revisit how best to restructure build matrices (in order to avoid queuing delays)
Proposals for Other Work:
- Bess: active-fedora
- https://github.com/samvera/active_fedora/pull/1294
- This is blocked by hydra-head (and a few other dependencies)
- The value added is that the generators between Hyrax and Blacklight create different configuration directories for Solr
- We need to ensure that the directory structure does not conflict with the Blacklight-generated config. directories internally
- (Waffle.io migrated to GitHub Projects successfully)
- It appears that GitHub Organizations can, themselves, have Projects
- There are issues from multiple repositories on the Organization Project
- There are usability difficulties when searching through the issues for the Project
- We still would need to manually add the issue cards for the board
- samvera/hydra-derivatives cannot link to the samvera-labs Project
- We could create samvera/maintenance as an Organizational Project
- Zube: Cannot add repositories from Organizations users don't own
- We are still not fixing bugs, and are just focusing upon maintenance issues
hydra-head Issues
- Use `solr/conf` rather than `solr/config` when ActiveFedora changes
- Might be best to fix ActiveFedora before addressing this in hydra-head
Integrating CircleCI for Core Components
noid-rails
hydra-pcdm (has a PR)
Consider test coverage tickets for another sprint
Ensure that desired Ruby/Rails versions are used in testing
Hydra Gem Mailing List Thread (samvera-tech)
Adopters should be encouraged to avoid using the hydra Gem
The Gem was deprecated, but it is clear that others can maintain a deprecated Gem
Mark will respond to the thread
Meeting was adjourned at 12:38PDT/15:38 EDT
