Notes

• Agenda Items

• New Items

• None

• Hyrax 2.0.0 Update (Van Tuyl)

• Nearing a point where blocking issues are almost finished

• Right now there are issues with browse-everything (not blocking)

• Accessibility Issues

• Few rounds of beta and an RC1

• More formalized testing was undertaken than those in the past for Sufia and Hyrax

• Ideally, release before Samvera Connect 2017

• Maher: Like to lobby for a RC2

• 38 commits to touch 101 files

• Feels that this is significant

• Cole: Mike Tribone has been creating a11y issues

• Not all are blocking

• Van Tuyl

• Very early in 2.x issues, want to address a backlog of issues related to accessibility
  

• Address these within a separate release

• Within testing process, more coherently work a11y testing into the process

• Cover these in a comprehensible way before the releases

• Cole: 8 are blockers for a11y
  

• Van Tuyl: 2 identified are low-hanging fruit

• Rayle: Blanco is working on 1673

• Permission templates don’t get cleaned when an Admin Set is deleted

• If a group is admin, it won’t allow you to delete various permissions

• Would hope this would make it into 2.0

• Van Tuyl: Want to give people a chance to look at these accessibility issues

• Will consult with Mike Giarlo

• Promoting hydra-role-management to release 1.0

• Maher: Bess couldn’t make the call

• HRM is currently in samvera-labs

• Would like to get this promoted to a 1.0 release and to samvera

• Sadler has a PR in to get it to 1.0

• Requests feedback for this (PR 29?)

• Opens the call for discussion

• Cole: It does appear to be in samvera

• Maher: Clarifies that this concerns promoting the Gem to 1.0 release

• Need to test with Rails 5.1

• Rayle: There was recent work which fixed Rails 5.0/5.1 problem

• Just not properly released (discussed this with Sadler)

• Notetaker and Moderator for Next Time (11/15/17)

• Are we meeting next week due to Samvera Connect?

• Historically we put it off

• Cole: Moderator

• Griffin: Notetaker
