   2. Hyrax/Valkyrie (Wings) — Dev Congress Report Out (@tamsin woo)

      1. Longer report coming.

      2. Recap: Model Alignment

         1. Translators and Mixins are built that dynamically handle the Valkyrie calls for most models. (Carolyn)

         2. Eventually code new models with Valkyrie::Base calls.

         3. Re-write models sooner than later vs. Hyrax specific API bridging?

      3. Recap:  How do we merge Valkyrie into Hyrax without breaking?

         1. Hyrax gets Valkyrie adapter.

         2. Hyrax changes Active Fedora to Valkyrie calls.

         3. Proof of Concept with Save call in Actor Stack was successful.

         4. Do this inline with directory lib/wings until transition is complete.

         5. Thanks to Trey, Carolyn, and the Circle CI group. (https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyrax-on-wings)

      4. Next Steps:

         1. Work scheduled with committed resources in 4 sprints.

         2. Compile group in the next month.  Two Sprints.  Break.  Two Sprints.

         3. Technically :  Move adapter code into lib/wings directory and work through replacing Active Fedora calls.

   3. What to do about `engine_cart` (@tamsin woo)

      1. the hyrax build is broken due to https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/35161

         1. Rails.new is broken

         2. Generate rails app then modify Gemfile for sqlite

      2. engine_cart makes this very hard to fix

      3. how can we fix the build?

         1. Gemfile extra approach

         2. Add generator code to control sqlite.  (engine_cart breaks before generator run)

         3. Not using engine_cart in CI process

            1. Writing line by line generation

            2. Examine how we did previously with Sufia

            3. Take it to Slack.

   4. Valkyrie Promotion (@cam156)

      1. 3 adopters (Princeton, PSU, Hyrax)

      2. Concerns around resourcing. 

      3. Good to get it promoted before 2.0.

      4. Feedback welcome.

   5. Hydra-Head 10.6.1 Released - Fixes https://github.com/samvera/hydra-head/issues/453

      1. Important fix around access controls.
