Updates

  • Updated Scope & Objectives Published

  • Outstanding Sirenia work?

  • Migration News

    • Emory?

  • new deliverables and timeframes are in place on wiki; old ones are archived on a separate page so they still exist

  • Fedora 6.5 release is out

  • HMWG sprint hasn’t focused on Sirenia - this will be Hyrax 5.1 release; to get there we need CI testing set up completed (switch over to Github Actions); add Sirenia tests to that and away we go

  • Hyrax 5.1 will be fixing significant bugs for Sirenia and fix pair-tree change from Fedora update

  • no timeframe for 5.1 yet, analytics work happening first/in parallel (if we have resources available)

  • before Daniel’s tech lead time is done (July 1)

  • Next HMWG sprint starts April 15

  • migration and Emory - Emily reports building out prod instance of Hyrax 5 with Fedora 6; setting up work type and configs and bring over local customization for pres metadata (fixity checking, virus scanning); using S3 storage with Fedora 6; migrating collection from Fedora 3, doing export using Fedora tools then bring in to Hyrax through Bulkrax; testing Bulkrax soon; found new bugs and reported with tickets (Circle CI with Fedora 6 on Samvera-orb)

  • next thing for Fedora - next major release but not feature-heavy; updating dependencies; no timeline yet

  • performance testing with Fedora 6 happening now in high perf computing environment (cloud storage) - Texas Advanced doing this, testing with research data (many children, deeply nested; also Lidar files, super-large)

10:30am - 10:50am

  • Nurax set up

  • Performance Testing

  • nurax-stable will get Fedora 6 (and maybe get a rename)

  • performance testing use cases - Emory has added some and others need to add to this list!

  • question from Ben Pennell - are there other benchmarks for Hyrax (with Postgres or other setups) - performance testing use cases lists setups we want to try in addition to Hyrax 5/Fedora 6

  • Randall Floyd and Randall Embry at IU load balance testing with Fedora 4 - anything to factor in for performance testing? have to think about it; not sure what exactly is happening to cause slow responses but once we know something, we can report here; external factors that can impact Fedora performance (in general) - something to keep in mind for performance testing

10:50am - 11:00am

Wrap Up

Next meeting proposal:

  • April 26th @ 9am Eastern
