Notes
Work with Many Members (Allinson)
(Allinson arrived late to the call due to being forced to abandon their normal workspace)
Posted a message to the samvera-tech list describing Works with FileSets to attach
Asynchronous job attaches FileSets to Works, creates exponential time delays
Allinson introduced a work-around
Batch update for FileSets using Works (as opposed to saving and re-saving the Work for each FileSet, which introduced the delay)
Have others implemented a work-around?
Rayle:
Collections-to-Collections and Collections-to-Works relationships should have been reversed to address this
Cole:
Ordered Works-to-FileSets might be blocking this (the relationship wouldn't be reversed if they were ordered)
Rayle:
Princeton did quite a bit of exploration on this topic
Pages were Works and Books were Works
LaRita Robinson also addressed some similar issues with Collection membership relationships
Allinson:
Adding one Page to the end would require that all unmodified Works related to the parent Work be unnecessarily saved
Feels that we shouldn't delay until Valkyrie is integrated with Hyrax 3.0
Hyrax 2.1.0 Update (Rayle)
All blocking bugs have been addressed
Waiting for translations to be run in order to complete the release process
Mike Giarlo and Tom Johnson are planning to take care of translations (attending Samvera Camp as instructors)
Another round of QA testing will follow, then a full release will be provided
Solrizer Deprecation (Cole)
E-mailed tech. list
Justin Coyne is trying to remove Solrizer, but the active_fedora Pull Request has not been merged
No one has expressed interest in blocking this deprecation
(None present on the call objected)
Cole will leave Solrizer out there until the PR has been merged
Then will deprecate
Samvera Newcomers Call (Musiorski)
