Agenda

• Call for Participation and New Chair for Phase 4 of the Working Group

• GitHub Board Review Column

Notes

Status of GeoWorks

• There is no strong desire by anyone to maintain and move ahead with upgrading GeoWorks for Hyrax 2.y.z and 3.0.0 releases
• Bess Sadler was not available to attend the meeting today, but Mark will discuss this with them in order to confirm that this is indeed the case
• This Gem probably ends up being deprecated and moved into GeoBlacklight and the Metadata Interest Group
• Originally this was just a set of Works with the appropriate metadata
• Now, we have the tools to generate the metadata profile, so a separate Gem as a core component is probably unnecessary

CircleCI Orb as a Core Component (Collin)

• Collin has been undertaking work to migrate the CircleCI Orb from samvera-labs as a core component to samvera
  • Standard checklist for a core component is going to be weird for the Orb, given that it is not a Gem
  • Collin will raise any questions or concerns as they arise
  • If there are requirements that just don't apply, then it's probably fine
  • The main concern is licensing (Collin added one)
  • Everyone who has committed to the project must also have had a CLA on file
  • It has a test suite for linting and ensuring that the Orb can be built
• Tom Johnson (not present for the call) also proposed that should try to use Rails new to generate a new application in order to further test the Orb
• Mark: That's basically Nurax, as it pulls every new commit from Hyrax and runs continuous integration for this
• Also, there is a need to improve the documentation for its usage
• Promotion Checklist Doc

Action Items

• James will put out a call for deprecated for geo_works
• Will request that community members propose a maintenence plan should they wish to prevent this deprecation
• Note that those who are using it can still continue using that in 1.x Hyrax releases
• James will add this to the agenda for the next tech. call
