Agenda: Wrap-up for Developer Congress May 22-26, 2023

DATE AND TIME

Required roles: Host, note-taker 

  • Host will use the list of topics in the wiki to call on each facilitator. Facilitators should summarize:
    • The focus of the group
    • What the group accomplished
    • Whether there are next steps or follow-up steps and how those have been captured
  • Host will lead a retrospective
    • proposed format: plus/delta
    • Give 3 minutes at the beginning to allow people to take notes on what they want to say
    • Host invites people to "raise hand" to contribute to the retro
    • Participants can speak to both categories at once to reduce the time spent calling on people.
    • Ensure the notes are open so people can add things later

Host: Daniel Pierce, Note-taker: Adam Ploshay

Topics Review:

  • Google Analytics 4 Support:
  • Rails 7 Support in Hyrax
    • Chris Colvard
    • Rspec is running in a WIP PR https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5962
    • Failing tests should be split up into smaller issues
    • HydraAccessControls change: CamelCased class name change was needed
    • Lots of zeitwerk related code loading issues
      • Zeitwerk seems to be running okay in Rails 6 dassie. Are these Rails 7 related? Classic mode for zeitwerk is gone?
  • Hyrax Valkyrie Support
  • Hyrax Issue Template Update
    • Juliet Hardesty Created and merged new issue template and pull request template.
      • Testing steps are moved higher in the template to be more visible
      • PR template includes type list to make categorizing PRs easier
  • Resolve Hyrax Flaky Tests

Retrospective:

Plus:

  • In person meetup in Bloomington was beneficial. Might be worth formalizing for future virtual events when several participants are local to each other?
  • Dev con attached to Connect 2023 in Philly?

Delta:

  • Analytics effort needed someone more familiar with the current state of analytics.
  • Low attendance (6 people, 3 devs)
  • Would have been nice to more directly help SoftServ valkyrie effort that started this week.
