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.

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.

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?

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.

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:

  • Allowing researchers to curate and aggregate content from various providers and add their own context

  • Providing libraries, museums, and archives a straightforward solution for creating digital exhibits from the works in their repositories

  • Supplying a small-scale, headless infrastructure for institutions with limited resources to build their own digital collections application

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.

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).

Your Support Makes a Difference: How it works to contribute to open-source in Samvera

New to Samvera and wondering what it means to contribute to open-source development? Ever considered contributing as an individual or institution but not clear on the details? Wondering what it looks like right now to do open-source development activities in the Samvera Community? Tune in to see how this works within the community, the tools the community is using (Docker, Github, Slack), and how your experiences as a developer or an end user can contribute. We’ll demonstrate and discuss all of this using one of Samvera’s main products, Hyrax, an open-source, Samvera-powered repository front-end. We’ll also share how to find out about contributing to other open-source efforts in the Samvera Community (Avalon and Hyku) and share upcoming scheduled opportunities to engage and participate in the work of the Samvera Community.

Piloting a Migration from Fedora 3 to Fedora 6 & Samvera

While assessing options to migrate Emory Libraries' content still stored in Fedora 3, we are exploring use of the Fedora 3 to 6 migration utilities, investigating the state of Samvera gems' support for Fedora 6, and identifying what transformations will be required to read the data in a Hyrax application.

Fedora Community Update - What we’re doing, what we’ve tried, what’s working, what’s not.

"The Fedora community is not unfamiliar with challenge, change and rebuilding. Our path from the original days of Fedora to today is not straight, nor has it been without its detours and hiccups. But today the Fedora community feels a keen sense of accomplishment as we begin to see adoption rates of Fedora 6.x rise and migration efforts underway. We are hopeful for our future and are taking the necessary steps to engage users, both current and future, understand how we can support those working with older technologies and bring everyone forward to the newest, most modern version of Fedora.

This lightning talk will provide a brief overview of current community activities, development efforts and plans for the future as they relate directly to the Samvera community. We will share some of the challenges we’ve faced, discuss what we learned and invite open conversation about ways we can evolve and grow to better support all of our users."

Feed the (Samvera) Tree: A Path for Developer Training

It's no secret that working with Samvera has its own learning curves that provide a challenge for even the most seasoned Rails developers. SoftServ hears from a lot of institutions who have experiences developers on staff, but need some help with the Samvera-y pieces. SoftServ has responded to the Community need for training with a curriculum of hands-on workshops designed in consultation with Community members. The goal is to benefit the Community at large by equipping more developers with the skill sets to support the technology and sustain the Community. This talk will introduce the series and provide details about what participants can expect to learn.

Welcome to the Derivative Rodeo!

The present implementation of Hyrax assumes that it will create all of the derivatives for each provided file. However, in cases where folks have existing derivatives that they want to use, there’s little guidance on how to proceed.

In this talk, I’ll go over the current work we’re doing at SoftServ regarding derivative pre-processing and utilizing Hyrax’s existing derivative plugins to change derivative handling behavior while also preserve existing functionality.

Shampooing Hyrax: Reducing Test Flakes

Flaky tests are a menace! Retrying the test (repeatedly!) wastes developer time, CPU cycles, and CI service budget. The first step to fixing them is identifying the cause. Here is how to do that for flaky Hyrax tests running on CircleCI.
