Notes

Hyrax on Wings Update

• Initial four organized sprints planned for the Hyrax/Valkyrie work are over (finished around July 4th)
• Status of the work is that the Wings adapter is largely done
• Continuing work to migrate Valkyrie code into Hyrax piecemeal
• UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara are doing organized work within the Slack #hyrax Channel
  • Mostly onboarding participants in the Hyrax on Wings work on Monday
• Who is on the group?
  • UC Santa Barbara
    • Tom Johnson
  • UC San Diego
    • Vivien Chu
    • Wawei
    • Longshou
    • Matt Critchlow

Hyrax Product Owner

•  Steve Van Tuyl has left the Samvera Community 
• Is no longer serving as the Hyrax Product Owner
  • There are efforts to replace this role in the community
  • Avalon and Hyrax community members are doing their best
    • If there are any interested members of the community who wish to serve as the Product Owner, you are encouraged to volunteer
  • Best channel for future discussions would be through the Slack #sigahr Channel
    • This channel will be where the process for inviting a new Product Owner is undertaken
    • Maybe someone in SIGAHR will act as the interim Product Owner for the Roadmap Council

Hyrax::Operation

• Tom has been looking for opportunities to simplify one area of the Hyrax code base
• The Hyrax::Operation Class provides an interface for tracking interconnecting ActiveJob Jobs
  • This is primarily used in supporting batch operations
  • There shouldn't be this large Operation interface which is generally not used
  • Deprecation plan would be to deprecate this now with the hopes of refactoring for a 4.0.0 release
• All attendees supported this

Second Reminder for Solrizer Deprecation

• Components Maintenance WG wants to ensure that all are aware that Solrizer is going to be deprecated
• Hyrax-on-Wings effectively removed this dependency for Hyrax

iiif-manifest Gem Promotion from samvera-labs

• Gem has been in use for a few years by Hyrax, Avalon, Spotlight, and Figgy
• There has been a call for a 1.0 release and promotion
• Chris Colvard issued the call for a Product Owner
  • Adam Wead volunteered to serve as the Product Owner
  • Other requirements for a core component would need to be met
  • Perhaps these could be addressed in the upcoming Core Components Maintenance WG Sprint
• DCE was working with this Gem on a project
  • There were some questions regarding enhancing the performance for Works with many child objects
  • Needs some sort of caching for large manifests (but, this should not block it from being promoted - perhaps this could be scoped for a 2.0 release?)
