Staffing Needs Assessments
Nabeela shared this, and this is on the agenda for the Board Meeting scheduled for Friday
There is likely going to be some questions and general feedback
There is a retreat at the end of January, and this likely marks the point at which there will be feedback
Maintenance Work for the year ahead
This is related to the pledge drive
Currently, there is a focus on the first third of the year
U. Michigan may be available (there are other commitments)
Northwestern University should be available
There was also a single community member who wanted to request time for developing several specific Gems
Hopefully there will also be some issues which are presented from the Hyrax community
Also, consideration should be paid to dependencies and upstream projects (for example, Project Blacklight and Bootstrap)
There is a document tracking the responses
How best to proceed with outreach?
Looking ahead to the new year, should plan this on the basis of each, specific sprint
Future Meetings (for 2022)
January 11th at 12:00PM EST (every two weeks)
Hyrax
By October 2022, there should be a new product owner for Hyrax
Perhaps Roadmaps Alignment can provide assistance for selecting and evaluating candidates
This should perhaps be prioritized for the summer 2022, ensuring that the production owner for Hyrax has the proper time to prepare for this new role
The best approach might be to call for interest during the Hyrax Interest Group meetings
iCLA Process
Heather has been evaluating and testing a CLA user bot, which checks against a list of users
This won’t likely affect existing contributors
However, new community members might be alerted if they do not possess the iCLA and wish to open a pull request
Meeting adjourned at 09:28 PST/12:28 EST
