Background information on each project is available at: Advancing Hyku: https://advancinghyku.io/ Hyku for Consortia: https://www.hykuforconsortia.org/ Hyrax Analytics: https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/lg-36-19-0033-19	Technical and librarian participants from institutions interested in any or all of the use cases of these three projects	Advancing Hyku: Ellen Ramsey, Brian Hole; Hyku for Consortia: Gretchen Gueguen, Amanda Hurford; Hyrax Analytics: Margaret Mellinger (University of Virginia, Ubiquity Press, PALCI, PALNI, Oregon State University)	Recording Slides
11:50-12:00	Creating javascript components to provide rich user experiences for search and browse	Modern javascript frameworks like React and Vue facilitate building dynamic, rich user interfaces (like thematic sites or research tools). In this lightning talk, we'll show how we each built search components using these frameworks which use the Blacklight API but not the Blacklight UI. We'll also discuss how these components are being utilized and possibilities for making shared community javascript components.

12:40-1:00	Enhanced Preservation, Fewer Migrations: Fedora 6 and the Oxford Common File Layout	Fedora 6, the next major version of Fedora, will focus on digital preservation by aligning with the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL). The OFCL is an application-independent approach to the storage of digital objects in a structured, transparent, and predictable manner. This provides many benefits, including: parsability, both by humans and machines, to ensure content can be understood in the absence of original software; robustness against errors, corruption, and migration between storage technologies; versioning, so repositories can make changes to objects allowing its history to persist; storage diversity, to ensure content can be stored on diverse storage infrastructures including cloud object stores; and completeness, so that a repository can be rebuilt from the files it stores. This presentation will provide an overview of the Fedora 6 design, including a brief introduction to the OCFL and how it is being implemented, along with a summary of development progress to date and the anticipated timeline for the 6.0 release.	Repository managers, developers, and anyone interested in learning more about the features of the next major Fedora release.	David Wilcox (Duraspace)	Recording Slides
1:00-1:10	Using API-Ingest for Avalon	This talk outlines our digitization workflow, the problems we encountered with batch ingest, and how we used Avalon's api-ingest.	People interested in Avalon or Audio/Video	Tim Lepczyk (WGBH)	Recording
1:10-1:20	Relevancy and the Creation of Shared Meaning	A major advantage of open source repositories is that search results and relevancy ranking can be tuned to our specific collections, as well as our users’ needs. This lightning talk will explore how users, developers, and catalogers collaborate to create shared meaning in the form of search results and relevancy ranking, and will discuss what types of interventions can be made in that meaning-making process to allow user needs and search results to be more closely aligned.	Developers, Repository or DAMS Managers, Metadata Specialists	Max Kadel (Data Curation Experts)	Recording Slides
1:20-1:50	Samvera Connect 2020 Update	An update about Samvera Connect 2020 from the organizers to the community.	Samvera Community	Brian McBride	Recording
