Meeting Notes

  1. Knapsack/Hyku sync plan

    1. Randy: looking for process to keep knapsack in sync with hyku

    2. A release process needs to be defined so that changing the knapsack version becomes tied to a hyku release.

    3. release process notes should be more clear about the necessary changes

    4. https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku_knapsack#version-strategy

    5. latest knapsack release is 6 which should work for any hyku 6 versions. A release still hasn’t been done for hyku7.

  2. Samvera vs Notch8 Office hr today 10:30AM PT

    1. discussion: Alias, redirect feature discussion

      1. Where should that work be done? Hyrax, Hyku,

        1. this is desired behavior in Hyrax per audience feedback (Daniel Pierce, Nicholas Homenda)

      2. plan to release with a Dark deploy (feature flag) - hyrax config option

        1. is tenant by tenant desired? TBD later phase

      3. Feature development process - is third party approval required?

        1. Per Daniel - 3rd party approval is not strictly followed

        2. If it’s incremental features agreed by the community - it’s ok to merge without 3rd party approval. If it’s controversial in any way, get outside approval.
