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)
- First meeting was held earlier today
- Three members attended
- Each meeting involves voting for a new topic each weekly meeting
- At the moment, it shall be a free-form discussion
- For the next meeting, aim to provide a tutorial/demo. a Hyrax 2.0 → 2.1 upgrade
- Will be exploring how to record sessions in the future
- Invitation for new members and any questions
- Topics will be posted to the samvera-tech mailing list
Meeting adjourned at 12:18PM EDT
