Notes

2b. The future of OM (Tom Johnson)

• Initially, no one stepped forward to serve as Product Owner for OM (Opinionated Metadata – https://github.com/samvera/om).  A proposal was made to deprecate it.  However, it is dependency for hydra-works and thus for Hyrax.
• There is a Product Owner for OM (Jon Cameron).  Should we continue to move toward deprecation or find a way to drum up maintenance energy for it?
• There is a pull request for hydra-works to remove the OM dependency – https://github.com/samvera/hydra-works/pull/346 .  Should this move forward?
• Do we know how much OM is still used in the wild?
• Next steps
  • Find a viable alternative to OM.
  • Have someone try out the alternative in an app in uses OM.
  • Document the migration path from OM to the alternative.
• Will keep on agenda for next time.
• Chris Colvard (Deactivated) will talk to Jon Cameron (the OM Product Owner) about this.

2c.  Hyrax Working Group update (steve and Tom)

• Hyrax Working Group is group of developers working on maintenance and features for Hyrax.  In their first sprint.  Expect to make a release at the end of the week.
• Current sprint has been mostly open-ended.  Next sprint will focus on accessibility issues.
• Slack channel for the working group: #hyrax-wg .

2d. Heading toward Questioning Authority release (Lynette Rayle)

• Lynette has some pending QA PR's that she would like to get reviewed so she can make a new release.  One of them – https://github.com/samvera/questioning_authority/pull/167– addresses a security vulnerability.
• justin also has a pending QA PR that with failing tests.  Lynette Rayle will reach out to him about whether it should be included in the release.
• Kevin Musiorski will finish up his review of https://github.com/samvera/questioning_authority/pull/167 today.
