        • Justin Coyne suggests putting in a PR against ActiveFedora or this.

      1. ActiveFedora 8.0.0 (David C-S)

        • Group agrees it should be released.

        • Justin Coyne suggested adding rdf-vocab dependency first.

  4. GitHub org rights - process? (David C-S)

    • David C-S asked if anyone with owner rights on the Hydra GitHub is allowed to make other users owners.  Consensus is yes as long as that person has an iCLA and is listed on the Duraspace wiki page as having an iCLA.
