Notes

  1. New Hyrax Tech Lead: Randall Floyd!

    1. Might reimagine Hyrax Tech Lead role so it isn’t so onerous, all-encompassing job

    2. Need all of the community to chip in because the tech lead doesn’t know it all and can’t do it all

    3. Coalition of the willing - group effort

    4. Mentorship to devs so they can take over role in the future

    5. Randall will focus on being responsive on communication (slack/email)

  2. Hyrax dev update

    1. Hyrax 5.1 release work progressing

      1. Fedora 6 support (sirenia) - test passing!

      2. Ruby 3.3 / Rails 7.2 - 6 failing tests

      3. Beta release by end of year?

  3. UV Accessibility

    1. OSU working on this locally

      1. working with older UV version ( forked 3.x)

    2. What are hyrax’s plans?

      1. Nothing yet but watching BL effort

      2. UV 3 right now…looking at upgrading to 4

      3. possible community sprint around Hyrax + IIIF which could include UV upgrade

      4. large interest in this at regional meetings this year

    3. There is a British Library effort to work on this

      1. Check out UV slack for ongoing conversation on this

  4. Hyrax / Hyku Maintenance WG merging?

    1. Hyrax MWG has been around

    2. Interested in establishing Hyku WG and has some funding from grant

    3. Instead of duplicating effort considering combining these groups

    4. Would be good for greater communication and coordination between Hyrax + Hyku dev efforts

      1. See question below

  5. AllinsonFlex + Hyku

    1. Is there a plan for integrating AllinsonFlex into Hyrax?

      1. AllinsonFlex originally written by SoftServ as a gem written for Hyrax 2.x

      2. Current effort to update gem to be compatible with Valkyrie / Hyrax 5.x for use in Hyku

        1. Added to Hyku already

      3. Looking at merging updated gem into Hyrax

        1. issue with how to add AllinsonFlex without breaking existing Hyrax apps

        2. IU interested in seeing this work get done

        3. Probably only be available in Hyrax 5 and not in any earlier versions

  6. Questioning Authority gem

    1. Will QA by maintained or deprecated?

      1. Used by Hyrax/Hyku

      2. Doesn’t have an active PO

      3. Jonathan Rochkind has been keeping QA up to date with latest rails versions

      4. Useful - maybe Hyrax should make more use of it

      5. Github Processes and Permissions WG is working on getting chartered and should address the question of how to identify repos for deprecation

        1. Github Processes and Permissions Working Group Charter

  7. Next Meeting: 1/8/2025

    2. Notetaker: @Nicholas Mark Homenda
