Avalon 8.0 update
- 8.0 release is now tagged in Github
- Still working on upgrade instructions
  - Fedora 6 migration worked smoothly in IU test site and with dataset up to several thousand items
  - Having issues with Fedora 6 migration with our much larger production dataset (~300,000)
  - IU may have to delay go-live until late February
- UMD: are there any concerns about repository bloat? Too many OCFL objects for what we consider 1 digital object?
avalon-l@list.indiana.edu and avalon-discuss-l@list.indiana.edu are going away as IU migrates to iu.edu email domain.
- We have proposed merging these into a single list avalon-l@list.iu.edu going forward due to low traffic. We will send updates to both lists by end of December.
January meeting falls on MLK day and will be canceled
Other agenda items?

Conversation around upgrade process for institutions that have been using Avalon for awhile (how to handle code customizations, etc.)
- Potentially for February 17; Emily will reach out in #avalon Slack in 2025 to see if we can get some participants lined up.
