Scope & Objectives

The Hyrax Interest Group (formerly SIGAHR) will form a core leadership and management body for defining the Hyrax roadmap and actively overseeing the execution of the roadmap. The group will be home to the Hyrax Maintenance Working Group which undertakes periodic development sprints. There will be four Hyrax ‘roles’: Technical Lead, Community Lead, Projects Lead, and Product Owner to ensure that Hyrax is managed, developed and promoted in a stable way. The Hyrax Interest Group will be led by the Hyrax Product Owner.

    • The Hyrax Community Lead is intended as an interim position until the recruitment of the Samvera Community Manager. The Hyrax Community Lead takes ownership of communication into and out of the Hyrax Interest Group.

The roles will rotate on an alternating 2 years schedule where the Product Owner and Project Lead will be given an opportunity to step down one year, and the Technical Lead and Community Lead the next. The rotation will give those in the roles an opportunity to step away, although there is no requirement that they do so.  We value both continuity and flexibility. The Interest Group will nominate someone to lead on recruitment and that conversation will begin at Samvera Connect the year prior to the roles coming up for rotation.
