Notes
Hyrax PR #6917 & other PRs
How to get pull requests reviewed in general—mention in Samvera slack (#dev, #hyrax, etc. as appropriate), or request review from someone in particular through GitHub (e.g. Daniel Pierce, or whoever seems appropriate)
Daniel Pierce to review Hyrax #6917
Current sprint
Trying to upgrade dependencies:
in particular Bootstrap 5 after Blacklight community brought up security concerns
Bootstrap 5 on Blacklight 7 may be tricky, might lead to needing to upgrade to Blacklight 8
Rails 6.1 → 7.2
David Moles suggests doing the Rails upgrade before Bootstrap first based on past trauma; Daniel Pierce to discuss w/Randall
Q how difficult the upgrade will be for Hyrax apps—hoping to avoid a major release; generated apps will likely need CSS changes at minimum
Chris Colvard reports core components upgraded to Ruby 3.3, Rails 7.2; Valkyrie needs a release and Bulkrax is waiting on Hyrax
ActiveFedora 15 recently released; previously discussed having this be the last major release for Fedora 4, w/Avalon team merging Fedora 6 code into ActiveFedora 16
Q: is ActiveFedora still using CircleCI?
A: yes; all core components are on CircleCI, Valkyrie might be on GitHub Actions
Suggestion: ActiveFedora 16 might be a good time to move to GitHub Actions
Q: should Chris Colvard take over as ActiveFedora product owner from Tamsin? Product owners for core components have kind of fallen off lately
Q: how involved is Tamsin likely to be in this stuff going forward? what about ActiveTriples?
Other UCSB folks
Margaret Kibi to try to come to these more often
Alex Dunn considering stepping back from the Valkyrie product owner role, might be worth looking for someone else
Alex may talk to folks at the northwest meeting
Daniel Pierce will talk to people at northeastern regional meeting, see if there’s somebody who’s familiar with / knows more about the full Valkyrie feature set beyond how Hyrax uses it
PR review
Already discussed Hyrax #6917
Various draft PRs in Hyrax re upgrades
Next week: postpone to 23rd
Chris, Daniel, & Brad will be at northeast regional meeting
Daniel will moderate on the 23rd
