ItemWhoNotes
Avalon UpdateAvalon POs, Tech Lead
  1. Avalon 7
    1. Thanksgiving release
  2. Collection Landing page we are working on
    1. a react component based on a blacklight view
    2. very specific to Avalon's needs
    3. could be probably generalized
  3. Tom suggests that at connect we can present the react component
 Hyrax UpdateHyrax Tech Lead
  1. Hyrax 3.0 rc1 is out
  2. there are a few issues marked as release blockers
  3. WG resumes on Monday and will probably tackle those
  4. We will see rc2 and maybe rc3 to include some minor changes
  5. Hyrax has been pretty active the last week or so
  6. Wings work -
    1. there is now home for hyraxized Valkyrie documentation (documents preferred way of doing things on Hyrax)
    2. environment variable - hyrax-valkyrie - that can be turned on to use experimental Valkyrie features
      1. to enable testing of features we are confident about before they are actually pushed to hyrax adopters.
      2. not recommended for production instances
  7. Also there are now 4 hyrax builds running for any given CircleCI run; one of those has this variable turned on.
  8. env variable will not be turned on during QA for Hyrax 3.0
Other updates of interestGroup
  1. f2f direct Sprint
    1. Potential Topics:
      1. Actor Stack not thread-safe as designed - effort towards replacing that
      2. Problem with the engineering of jobs in general (not idempotent)
      3. Perhaps more compelling - iron out the Valkyrie migration process.
    2. Maybe hosting in UC Santa Barbara
      1. Connect will also be in UCSB, so this would imply 2 trips there on the same year.
    3. Gauge the interest from the community during connect also, but informally
  2. Thanks for the document clarifying Wings/Valkyrie
