Notes

  • (James needs to request Zoom permissions for screen sharing and granting host status to others)
  • Hyrax Pull Requests from Lynette
    • PR #5042 and PR #5057 require additional reviews from Tamsin Johnson before they can be advanced by others
    • PR #5059 some actions weren't tested, James can review this
  • Hyrax PR 5056 from Michael
    • https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5056
    • Came out of the last Dev Congress
    • Using ActiveFedora with Valkyrie for using data seeding
    • Request for feedback given some obstacles
      • Trying to set the permissions, doesn't seem to do anything
      • 02-valkyrie.rb
        • All Collections remain "private" when the seeds are run
        • In the past, there was an approach to removing the "private" visibility on the Collection
          • col.visibility = Hydra::AccessControls::AccessRight::VISIBILITY_TEXT_VALUE_PUBLIC
      • Documentation challenges are there, there was a Documentation IG
        • Perhaps we should explore whether or not documentation should be considered equal in value to code work for community labor resource planning
      • Recommended page for outlining development patterns for Hyrax
    • Tamsin had recommended that the Monograph Class be used in creating the seed Works
      • Encountered issues in which Collection membership and display logic behaved slightly inconsistently
      • Much better luck in creating a new GenericWork and retrieved the Valkyrie::Resource from this
      • Lynette's two PRs start to advance improved Collection membership relationship behavior
    • There were also difficulties encountered in file attachments
  • Developer maintenance hour drive 2022 (Heather)
    • Going to be presented to the Partners Meeting
