Agenda:

  1. Call for agenda items

    1. No new items
  2. Current Issues with ActiveFedora

    1. https://github.com/projecthydra/hydra-head/issues/257

    2. ActiveFedora 9.0.7 was released to fix this, but was yanked because it caused problems with Sufia

    3. The plan. Get AF#761 merged in. Test Sufia pointed at AF master. Update dependencies in hydra-collections then release.
    4. Ben Armintor is working on a PR to store ontologies in Active-Fedora. Still a work in progress PR#767
  3. Modify Contributing document to not require squashing if each commit is atomic.
    1. See https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/questioning_authority/pull/81
    2. General consensus is that the contributing guidelines contradict themselves. In the making changes section it says to "Make commits of logical units" and squashing destroys this benefit. Justin will draft a PR to the CONTRIBUTING.md that amends the "squash" recommendation to only apply when the commits can be grouped into logical units.
  4. Next call
