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)
