Notes

1. Upcoming Sprint on ISLE - Heavy doc component, and opportunities for new and curious users to learn more, but we do need devs and sys-admins for this kind of work. Please sign up!
2. More Eyeballs: Let's get Travis passing. https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/799 - Tests are failing Travis for a weird reason. Our environments were out so sync from Travis. We've done most of the work to fix it, but now Travis simply cannot run fast enough to finish our tests before timing out. Spinning up the environment itself takes a lot of time (about half the build time; the other half is actually running the tests). No good options. Here are the bad ones:
   • Don't use Travis anymore. Migrate to something else, like GitHub actions.
   • Refactor. Pull things out. the Islandora module is too big and needs to be broken out into sub-modules in separate repos so that Travis can handle it all.
   • New idea from the call: break out the test matrix more? Set up environment with different variables, set up Travis to use those. Fedora does all integration tests on all different databases: link. Different maven commands for different environmental variables. Relevant link. Travis also has some docs to troubleshoot issues like this: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/common-build-problems/#my-builds-are-timing-out. Jared and Rosie will see what they can do.
3. Issue Roundup:
   1. https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/1637 - PR already in, merged during the meeting.
   2. https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/1638 - We're pointing to UPEI's FITS with an Ansible role and have a name-collision with a D7 module. There's no reason any longer to point out to the UPEI link. We should move it over to the 8.x branch of Islandora FITS. Alexander will ping Alan on the details.
4. PR Roundup:
   1. Good to merge? https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/pull/1635 - A few PRs have been merged to address issues discovered while testing these docs, so this is now ready to merge. Easy and fast way to build an Islandora! (except Macs 😦 ) Could use some testing from people who may not have things like composer installed, to double check requirements. Later improvement: Make this work without composer. Improve how it handles Alpaca
   2. Needs testing: https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/800: Hertzel will test this out
