Samvera and Samvera-labs teams review and audit

Description:

Want a community review and audit of the Samvera and Samvera Labs teams. Make sure that settings are applied properly, and that those who are no longer members of the community are not IDed as gem owners, etc.

Need to clarify who has access and who to contact to push to Ruby gems and to do releases

Will recommend that Admins must have 2FA enabled

Will notify the community and do this organization discussion and implementation during the May Dev congress.

OAI-PMH feeds in Samvera Tech

Description:

Providing harvestable OAI feeds for content is necessary for sharing to DPLA. Maybe this is just relevant for Hyrax but this might also be something to work on in the context of Hyku. Unclear if this is something that can be added to Hyrax or if this should be providing documentation of options for local implementation.

Time Estimate:

  • 1 day

Hyrax Batch Edit Review/Design-a-thon

Description:

Batch Edit is a specific interface for Works with a set of actions that is part of Hyrax. It is not behind a feature flip and is separate from the Bulkrax batch round-tripping that is a possible gem to add on to Hyrax. Batch Edit for Works could benefit from a redesign or a decision to remove it from Hyrax altogether. UX, design ideas, wireframes, use cases and opinions all welcome!

Hyrax upgrade work for Blacklight 7/Rails 6

Description:

Upgrade work might still remain to support Blacklight 7 and Bootstrap 4, both of which are needed to upgrade Hyrax to use Rails 6. Currently, Hyrax uses Rails 5.7.2 and that is reaching end of life on June 1.

Hyrax CircleCI Updates

Description:

Hyrax is still using the deprecated circleci images and needs to migrate to using cimg images. Hyrax should also update to the latest samvera orb version.

This might also bring dropping support of EOL Ruby versions (< 2.7) into question.

Facilitator Guide

Propose or claim a topic in the Proposed Topics table above

You will be asked to introduce your topic with a brief summary (minute or less) during the kick off meeting

Contributor Resources

Goal of this checklist is to enable leaders of specific issues to be able to collect resources for those interested in contributing; aiming to provide a shared knowledge base before beginning the work together.  While optional, if you're facilitating a topic we recommend you provide these resources to attendees ahead of time:

Prepare zoom link or slack room link that will be used for contributors to gather
Prepare short list of languages the work will be coded in
Prepare list of any tutorials a contributor can complete to familiarize themselves with the work ahead
If similar work has occurred in other repositories please include links to those repositories as well
