Welcome

Updates:

Community Performance Testing Update?
- https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/samvera/pages/3223289860
  - Arran looked at sheet
  - Hyrax team (@Daniel Pierce @Randall Floyd) looking at test ID#3
  - Investigating Valkyrie Fedora adapter, multiple requests to Fedora making changes to visibility for filesets pretty slow
  - Trying object caching, etags
  - RDF gem and caching making process twice as fast
  - Should go into Fedora adapter in Valkyrie code
  - Is there a faster way to get unchanged HTTP response from Fedora?
  - HEAD request was tried, similar performance
  - Also combining jobs into a background jobs to increase performance
  - 300 Fileset work takes 2x as long, linear wait time
  - We will test again, @Nicholas Mark Homenda will reach out to folks to ask them to re-test once changes are deployed.
- Status? Should we set a deadline/number of testers?
  - No additional folks have asked, but ok to do additional testing if desired
  - We can keep these test items around
- Phase 2 status?
  - Bulkrax work is after this performance work, soon
Migration updates?
- Emory is live: https://open.library.emory.edu
- Elements pipeline stopped a couple years ago, Emory may be moving on from Elements
- Pausing external harvesting, manual IR deposit for the time being

What work remains?

Frigg adapter testing
- IU is working on this, required additional work from Freja adapter, but close to functional
- Currently sprinting on this
- Selective migration?
  - Combining multiple sites into one big repository
  - Will probably do background jobs more than on-the-fly
- Fedora folks would be interested in hearing how this goes
Valkyrie support for Fedora 5- continue support?
- We know of 2 institutions using F5, none using Samvera
