Notes:

  • Hyrax Maintenance Working Group update - Julie Hardesty

    • Dev Congress work

      • First week of sprint was dev congress

      • Nurax-pg testing work, updating documentation, Hyrax onboarding

      • Next dev congress Jan 24-28, will have Hyrax onboarding at the onset

      • Hydra editor updated for Rails 6, moving to rest of Hyrax to Rails 6

      • Ongoing discussion of workflows and process for updating gems

    • Analytics PR merged - release imminent! Question re: semantic versioning!

      • Interested in a release but there is a change needed, must update an environment variable

      • With Rails 6 and other work, thoughts on releasing as version 4?

        • Sounds like something was broken and that it is fixable to address the variable change to keep it to a 3.x , would take work from Rob to find the issue, and can commit to finishing by next Friday

        • Will discuss a release at the end of next week

        • Also a yaml file change, Rob sure this can be addressed as well

  • Topics and Projects

    • Pledges and WG planning for January-April 2022

      • Julie is speaking with people who are pledged. Will keep sprint schedule for Hyrax WG. First week is the dev congress, will be looking at upgrading to Bootstrap 4 to get us closer to Rails 6

      • Another dependency for Bootstrap 4 is Blacklight at the same time. A branch with blacklight 7 would make the bootstrap upgrade something good for junior developers. If we can get a branch with blacklight 7 done then bootstrap will be straightforward

      • Chris Colvard will try to get a branch with BL-7 in place by the end of the year to see how many tests are failing

    • Roadmap

      • What we work on next year will change with pledges, and Julie is then hoping to shape the roadmap from there to see what is happening with Hyrax next year

    • Hyku news

      • Major version release will be needed soon. Hoping by end of year, but that is coming quickly.

  • Questions?

  • Next meeting: Wednesday, January 12, 11:30am Eastern
