Agenda

  1. ITAV stakeholder activity goals

    1. Need to select some goals and clarify them for the Partners to review at fall meeting. Looking with the intent of possible goals for the next year. Selected top goals in voting doc; will re-write all of them for Partner meeting, and so the other goals can be kept in mind by the Board as other valuable activities. Carolyn and Harriett will refine these to share with Partners ahead of the meeting.

  2. Fall Partner meeting October 14th – agenda updated, Heather will send to Partners.

  3. Spring Partner in person meeting--dates discussion. Northwestern can host during spring break. March 20-21 or 21-22. Two half days so people could fly in just for one night. No room blocks and meals on own, except for breakfast catered. Checking about hybrid option, not sure this is available. 40 people max for room.

    1. Tuesday-Wednesday for the meeting. 1 or 1.5 days. Suggest spending on nice coffee and snacks.

    2. This room is maybe upgraded for hybrid meetings, but have to pay for a technician. Cost is unclear; could budget for it in Samvera budget.

    3. Should include inviting tech leads and/or POs as well.

  4. Valkyrization community sprint results, next steps

    1. Work remaining: “still working to resolve some issues with the file and derivative upload PR to get that working in a Nurax-pg type environment. Once that is done I have a downloads controller PR ready that's based on some surfliner code that Tamsin provided.
      After that I think the only thing needed to have images displayed in the universalviewer is fixing up the manifest generation to recognize those uploaded files. Currently the manifest is mostly empty, without any image sequences.”

    2. getting a stable release of Hyrax 4 out is not blocked by the valkyrie work. Daniel expecting a Hyrax 4 beta2, then making a 4.x-stable branch. Plan is to have the valkyrized beta out before Connect, have a Connect demo.

  5. Roadmap Alignment Group update (notes from last meeting)

    1. Suggest Q1 2023 as time to complete a technology white paper

    2. Not much effort or interest so far on core components maintenance call https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/samvera/pages/1813479425

    3. Conversation at the meeting: Rob has long suspected that our dependency split is inverted. In most large projects there is the core functionality, and plug-ins. Consolidating into core Hyrax code base reduces maintenance burden. Not currently sustainable for all the work to fall to James.

    4. Convening a technical group to make a proposal for how to do this; will bring to Board and then Partners? Sounds like the right path.

    5. Aligns with goal to simplify codebase.


  6. Other Updates

    1. Partner payments - just six remain, represent $47,000

    2. Development Communication Plan

      1. Coming up: Ruby 2.7 will get an end of life date on Christmas when Ruby 3.2 goes into production.

    3. Heather invited to talk at Hyku watercooler meeting about Partnership and governance participation

    4. DLF Forum – not sponsoring this year. DCE sponsoring and SoftServ will be there. Will have stickers on the DCE table. Will organize a Samvera DLF get together.
