Notes

• Developers Congress Report
  • Chris Colvard (Deactivated) worked with a group adding Rails 6 support to core components.
    • Hydra Editor is the only remaining known non-Rails 6 core component.
    • Once Hydra Editor has support, there's a need to work on Hyrax support.
  • Lynette Rayle worked in one of several small groups working on Hyrax valkyrie/wings
    • single value types in Valkyrie native models
    • performance improvements for wings
  • tamsin woo merged https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4628 yesterday
    • contains some performance improvements for Wings
  • documentation overhaul for Hyrax
  • IIIF React media work
• FITS Configuration for apps using Hydra Derivatives (tamsin woo)
  1. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/4571
  2. fits configuration can be a big pitfall; jobs can end up running for a long time (forever) and need to be manually
  3. the issue documents a fix
  4. where should this knowledge live other than a closed hyrax issue?
     1. maybe answer: Samvera.github.io documentation pages (consensus that we should put something here)
     2. maybe also the gem readme or other gem documentation (github wiki)
  5. ACTION: tamsin woo will open a ticket on samvera.github.io
• fits in Hyrax's docker containers (Brian Keese)
  • trying to get fits installed in Hyrax's container, should the workers be a different image than the application container?
  • Avalon historically has one image that works for the application and for the workers
  • Some discussion about pros and cons, issues with fits download location changing unannounced.
  • DECISION: keep it simple for now, just install fits to application image and take things from there.
• help follow-up: none.
