Notes

Hyrax 2.1 Release Update (Lynette Rayle)

• Asked Julie Rudder about testing

• General impression: testing was going well

• Van Tuyl will review blocking issues

  • 4 issues on release 2.1 considered blocking

  • Look to be fairly minor, could use a hand in tackling

• On the blocking issues, there are only two which are unassigned

• There are five with PR's close to done, some are already in review

• Might be useful to aim for a release candidate soon (end of this week or early next week)

• Rayle

  • Not much to offer on the migration process

  • Release notes for the first steps are very accurate

  • Now, going through process of evaluating Cornell's customization

    • Changed the home page masthead

    • Number of other configuration-based changes for the home page

  • Will report back after finishing this process

  • Bess Sadler also had an App which she wanted to test migrating

  • Also, ideally test a migration using Nurax

    • Although, this has been kept extremely up-to-date

• Van Tuyl

  • Will enquire at Oregon State in order to determine if a migration can also be tested

ACL's in Fedora 5.0

• Colvard is the hydra-head Product Owner

• E-mail sent to the Samvera Tech list

• Fedora 4.x will create WebACLs where authorization is a child (directly contained) within a parent ACL node

• In Fedora 5, using hash URIs within a single ACL node

  • Changes things quite a bit, significant migration in the future needed

Code Stability Working Group (Jennifer Lindner)

• Working Group which met for one month, produced a document

• Shared and retrieved feedback for the Document deliverable

• Following any further requests for changes or other feedback, looking to finalize the Document and close the WG

Hyrax Technical Lead Transition

• Mike Giarlo is stepping away from Lead Technical role for Hyrax

• Will still be actively contributing...but not enough time to lead

• Tom Johnson of DCE shall be stepping into this role

• Steve Van Tuyl

  • E-mail thread is out on samvera-tech

Samvera Documentation Work Session (Andrew Myers)

• Announced last week, scheduled a session to work through tickets

• Doodle Poll used to schedule for 02:30PM EDT for this Friday (04/13/18)

  • Mostly focused upon improving samvera.github.io

• Approximately a 2 hour meeting

Notetaker: James Griffin
