Notes

• Unconference Session at Samvera Connect 2019
  • Notes from the session: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1279KEoBHYkk_Z8qUk2Jku0YLvvsjrS6cbWODj123HdU/edit?usp=sharing
  • Wanted to identify in the session what we could collaborate on and share
  • Identified that we should share Dockerfiles, deployment/maintenance scripts, and documentation
  • First action item is to draft a charter for this Working Group
  • Tom Johnson provided a good example of a charter in use (the example was Samvera Code of Conduct Working Group Charter)
• Drafting the Charter
  • Please note that Members of this WG will look to fully draft the charter following the meeting
  • Defining Best Practices
    • Should we strive to define a set of best practices for configuration?
    • We should offer a recommendation, but not be prescriptive
  • Working Groups have deliverables and a timeframe
    • Documented practices might not be the deliverable
    • Pointing out a series of practices within the community might be helpful
    • For those who have no adopted the Samvera stack, perhaps we could provide an assessment of the current deployment
      • Information which is helpful (at a generic level) might be best
    • Who is our primary audience for the deliverable of this working group?
      • This is likely to be an ongoing discussion
      • Providing guidelines for new adopters is a great side-effect
      • However, it might not be a target deliverable
    • DockerHub Organization
