    • Important to be able to use Hyrax over future Fedora's and over other storage engines.

      • Jessica from UCSD presented on restarting the work.

        • Get AF out of the Hyrax Dependencies directly

        • Has there been a response to the request to help or are they intending to help?

          • Need more specifics to know what would be helpful.

          • General idea to upgrade and submit tickets, may not be clear enough to generate help?

            • Maybe more obvious to devs and people on the ground?

          • A lot of people are interested in the effort, but need a more specific ask.
