Session Updates

Samvera and Samvera Labs GitHub Teams Review and Audit

• Juliet Hardesty
• Daniel Pierce
• James Griffin
• Questions
  • Removal of a cCLA requirement, but they need to be invited into the Samvera Community
  • Contributors team was used for RubyGems pushes
  • There is an error where pull requests cannot be opened without being members of the Contributors Team
    • This should be open to the public (this needs to be documented)
    • Only contributors should be able to review and merge PRs

Hyrax Performance Testing/Improvement Strategy

• Juliet Hardesty
• Daniel Pierce
• Bradley Watson
• Rebekah Kati
• https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/4581
• There were additional scalability issues (creation of a batch of Works)
• There are suggestions described within #4581, however, there did not seem to be any outstanding solutions which surfaced
  • Most of these seemed to involve ActiveFedora
• Bulkrax is often referenced as one solution for managing performance issues
• GitHub Wiki for Hyrax
  • There are additional strategies for addressing performance
• Stack size environment variables were tested and proven by Daniel to improve performance in certain cases
• Ultimately, documentation is still going to be the most immediately available for Hyrax
• Perhaps propose these as Tech Call agenda items for the entirely community?
  • Documenting additional cases, and then what can be tried in each case is needed
  • Tech Call: Does anyone have any use cases such as those already discovered?

Hyrax Upgrade Work for Blacklight 7/Rails 6

• Bradley Watson
• Ayoub Belemlih
• Clare Barton
• Alex Zotov
• https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5647
  • Ready for Review
• Any Gem dependency problems?
  • Not yet, Rails 5.2 is still being used
  • Attempting Rails 6 might become a higher priority for some contributors soon!
  • Experimenting with Rails 6 might use a separate branch (off of the bl7 branch)

Other Groups

• Ayoub
  • Overriding the facet item Component
  • Inspecting further patterns for the Component overriding for the Collections facet items for the admin. dashboard
