UH, SAn Diego might be giving people

NU people (Adam - work on front end) -

Keep ball rolling with right mix of levels of experience - don’t get all new people in a second round.

Target to Valkyrize Hyrax by Connect?  3.0 release after Connect - lot between now and then.  Get right amount of commitment.

.1 Avalon Bundle - IIIF on gem, prep work.  Handle manifests - be able to ingest a IIIF Prezi manifest.  

.2 Define what a media metadata and worktype look like - starting to shape what it will look like from a UI standpoint.  Find a matterhorn replacement. (8 week cycle)

Custom Worktype - media metadata derivative generation.

Area of overlap - Metadata - Julie and Jen are trying to document metadata in Hyrax - make suggestions for additions of different fields that are more general for time-based media.  For content that we have for Avalon.

Flexibility in metadata - how can we be more flexible?  Have some suggestions on how to make that happen in Hyrax.

Jen and Julie are both on the Metadata IG.  That group has mobilized to look at metadata issues in Hyrax.  

Grant is about sustainability (Maria) - the more we get devs in the code and the more we’re involved in Hyrax, maintained by community

And ability to participate in the conversation/ drive.  

Oregon asked to put a number on it - what are they losing and gaining - got back double in money what they put into the community - gain they got back was huge

AI:  We need to collectively badger Tom about the Bulk WG - Steve will ping

Samvera European meeting - Bosnian Libraries - group of institutions get together and start dabbling?  People can start looking and seeing what it will be like. A Valkyrized Hyrax.

Maybe it’s a good time for people looking to answer those questions to form an informal group

That group can offer a level of insight and comfort to adopting that.  Maybe work on that instead of features? Path for migration - make it painless.

AI - meeting time

AI - migrate to SIGAHR page
