Notes:

  • Hyrax Maintenance Working Group update - Julie Hardesty

    • Hyrax 3.4.1 released

    • Emory University participated in most recent sprint

    • Call for Blacklight 7/Bootstrap 4 upgrade help to reach Rails 6 by June 1

      • THis work is to help us reach Rails 6. We need to get this done before the end of life for our current version. We will be on a version of Rails that doesn’t have security updates. Really need volunteers to make this happen. 

      • Getting past the failing test will help us, and after that it will not be as much work to implement the Rails 6 upgrade.

      • If you are interested these are up for grabs, HMWG sprint starts next week if you can join it https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22bootstrap+4+upgrade+dev+congress%22

      • Branch: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/tree/bl7bootstrap4

      • Has anyone started the work of changing the style tags yet? Not certain. Will cause it to look unstyled in certain places. May have left off with updates to Jquery. 

      • This is also on the May dev congress topic list

      • Can still make a make a maintenance pledge for May-Aug!

  • Topics and Projects

    • Hyrax-Valkyrization sprint results

      • Lynette led sprint in March, using the feature testing spreadsheet on nurax-pg. Running the feature tests to see where they break. 40+ PRs merged. A few places blocked, but it is closer!! 

      • See last tab for latest information about tests: Nurax-pg_Hyrax_QA_Testing.xlsx

      • Getting through the blockers will allow for further testing

    • Hyrax Tech Lead and PO search updates

      • We are still searching! Funding offer still available. Contact Julie for information. Would like to get started with the next PO to get them up to speed.

    • Hyku News

      • Not a lot of news, a ton of work on Bulkrax features and optimizations. Working on splitting PDFs and component images, just push a chart update for Hyrax that allows for a load balancer. In process to allow cantaloupe to be used. Ubiquity dev team unclear who is working in the Hyku space.
