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
