AGENDA & NOTES

1. Welcome to newcomer's (1-2 min.)
   1. Welcome back to Bess! Bess is now working, as of this week, for DCE as a developer and trainer.
2. Quick Roll Call (3-5 min)
   1. See the attendance list below.  Please add your name if you were on the call!
3. Presentations (30 min)
   1. Steve Van Tuyl, Michael Joseph Giarlo - Sufia / Hydra Mediated deposit - walkthrough of current state - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-9w-bgaZfs&feature=youtu.be 
      1. Steve presented on mediated deposit within Sufia, and has also created a video on YouTube covering the same workflow demo (see link above)
      2. The work came out of a community requirements gathering exercise to assess what features were required to make mediated deposit work
      3. There has a been a work cycle between Sep and Dec 2016 working on implementing the requirements identified.  A further work cycle between Jan and Mar 2017 is also now being taken forward.
      4. The work is focused on getting the functionality into Sufia, and it will then be moved into Hyrax for any ongoing attention.
      5. The work has involved 8-9 participants from an equivalent number of institutions.  This is the same for the second work cycle, but if others wish to get on board then they are very welcome.
      6. The development has been a real community effort, and a very positive one.
      7. Next phase - add more flexibility in how workflows can operate, and how roles can be given better permissions on different workflows.
      8. It was noted that the workflow tooling helping to implement mediated deposit could be used for other purposes as well. 
4. Call for future presenters (1-2 min)
   
   1. No current takers, but always great to hear about work that is ongoing.  A great way to get feedback from others, too.
