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.
