Call for participants in the next Hyrax Maintenance WG cycle (July-December 2021)
Participation target date: The team will begin with onboarding work the week of July 4. Monday, July 12 will be the first day of the first 2-week sprint.
Who we need: 2 Developers and 2 GitHub issues testers who can secure a .5 FTE commitment from their institution for July-December 2021. Work is done in 2-week sprints, two weeks on and two weeks off.
Developers will focus on evaluating the outstanding Hyrax issues on Github, addressing bugs, and reviewing pull requests.
The GitHub issues testers will help the Product Owner evaluate and prioritize open Hyrax issues, and will test issues as pull requests are merged and issues are completed. The people in this role do not need to be developers.
Time frame: July-December 2021. Work is done in 2-week sprints, two weeks on and two weeks off.

Items from the newsletter:
Proposed sundown plan for the Repository Managers Interest Group
Slack channel is proving more valuable as a communication channel than monthly meetings.
Nabeela will continue to stay on Roadmap Alignment Group for rest of the year as rep for repository managers generally
Will this result in more work for the Community Manager, keeping the repo managers informed of changes in Hyrax, etc.
Consider doing a survey of repo managers - what are their information needs? how do they want to stay connected and plugged in?
Upcoming Hyrax Valkyrization sprints: help us complete this work!
May 17-29 and June 14-26; developers welcome to join for any amount of time they can spare
Help with code review makes it all go faster
Join Hyrax WG Slack channel to show your interest
