Agenda:

  1. Call for Agenda Items

    1. None

  2. Review https://github.com/projecthydra/rubydora/pull/89 - Adds streaming support for external data streams

    1. David:  No one felt comfortable with Rubydora for merging this.

    2. David:  Stream method in Rubydora didn't take into account external datastreams. When calculating lengths it doesn't just use ds size.

    3. David:  Hydra's download behavior uses this stream.

    4. Glen:  Is anyone able to test it?

    5. Justin:  If it works for the coder and it cannot be tested due to lack of environments, then it should be merged.

    6. Jeremy:  Supports merging.

    7. Adam:  Support merging

    8. Justin:  Happy to merge after style revision.

  3. Are folks ok with updating the headers on the project hydra organizations on github to give a little more context about the various repos? Straw dog text below:

    1. Core: https://github.com/projecthydra
      Officially supported and maintained Hydra gems and applications for Digital Repository management

    2. Labs: https://github.com/projecthydra-labs
      Experiments, Works-in-progress, and Beta versions of gems and applications.  In addition, many of these gems are
      completely suitable for use in production, but are awaiting wide-spread adoption before promotion to our core repository.

    3. Deprecations: https://github.com/projecthydra-deprecated
      Older gems, applications, and experiments that we no longer recommend deploying in production but that may be useful for 
      sample code, reference, or inspiration.

    4. Glen:  Does anyone have any comments on descriptions?

    5. Justin: Looks good.  Description must be at a max of 140 characters.  Will handle deprecation.

    6. Jeremy:  Will edit the labs page.

    7. Glen:  Link to core page from labs page.  Adam:  Link is there.

  4. Reminder: don't use Spring in production.

    1. https://github.com/rails/spring/issues/318

    2. User was having problem deploying in Production and ran into a problem with rails console.

    3. Justin:  Noticed that gem Spring was causing problem.  Rails patches welcome.

    4. Justin:  Agree to not use Spring.

  5. Next call: September 22
