Notes

1. Agenda item 2b... Trey Pendragon - Should Hydra repository be deprecated
   1. The core component working group is finishing its last sprint before Samvera Connect. Hydra came up as one of the core components. In the past, the idea was that installing this one gem would install add dependencies, but it was never kept up with. The general recommendation now is to either use Hyrax or individual components. Normally this would mean we would propose deprecation of the gem, but it has one script that is regularly used - grant/revoke gem privileges, which gives everyone permission to release things. What do we want to do with this repository and this script? Should we keep just this script in the repository, or is there a more reasonable place to put this one piece of code?
   2. Tom suggested moving the script to hyrda-head and deprecating Hydra, and suggestion received general consensus. The code will be moved, and an email will be coming soon.
2. Agenda item 2c... LaRita Robinson - reminder re: Permissions analysis working group webinar

3. Agenda item 2d... Tom Johnson - CI for Hyrax
   1. Hyrax working group has been having trouble with Travis and CI throughput for Hyrax in general. Working to deal with flappy tests in suite, but big part of issue is flaky Travis infrastructure causing problems lately, as well as concurrency issues. Case on Monday led to 12 hour backlog on PR's. 
   2. Expect to see Circle CI build come into Hyrax very shortly... Daniel Pierce is working on it now. Once in place, also working to pay for more concurrency. This may also help with build-length issues because we can cache engine cart builds for internal test app. Looking into questions on how to invalidate that cache when needed. 
   3. Rob Kauffman has offered to set up some gitlab CI infrastructure for evaluation as well.
   4. At some point we will probably come back to community to propose switching… this is for evaluation at this point.
