Draft proposal, until agreed on and joined by members from at least three Samvera Partners.
Community members who work on Hyrax development and maintenance have identified several chronic issues that must be addressed to protect both Hyrax community code and those who dedicate time and energy to maintaining it:
This group will develop deliverables to address these issues from several angles including new and increased community engagement strategies; recommended best practices, commitments, and actions for Partners; training and development opportunities for the Community; and recommendations for ways to better care for Community-based technical leadership.
The group should produce the following deliverables:
The group will present their work at Samvera Connect 2021 and sunset after that presentation.
This Group will aim to create deliverables through assignment of asynchronous work using collaborative tools.
Proposed meeting commitment is:
The samvera-tech mailing list and #hyrax-support-engagement-wg Slack channel will be used for this discussion and coordinating meetings.
Note that Working Groups must have participants from three different Partners. All members of a working group producing software must be licensed Samvera contributors covered by the appropriate CLAs. Other types of contributions such as requirements, design, best practices, documentation, etc. - do not require CLAs but participants should accept that the materials to which they contribute may be released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License..
