  • October 31–talking about what we’re working on.
  • November Open Meeting is on Oral Histories
• (Rosie) MIG: gone through field by field and made a wishlist including a typed string field, and other things you can do with metadata. Will be pitched as a sprint to see if we can make one or two of these things happen
• Crayfits move to Islandora
  • https://github.com/Islandora/Crayfish/issues/173
  • How easy is it going to be to move over? Rosie: possibly really easy, just change where it’s coming from and make sure the playbook and build kit get it from the correct source
  • Rosie: May need to solve the PHP8 issue with fits first
  • Do as a PR against Crayfish to avoid transfer agreement
• Read over node-media direction switch proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dc4OJz2VhSi08jf7pWqpRVbgtHTQOgIcSQzJr7tc5Fk/edit#heading=h.3aymyqq4pz16
  • No new updates and there has been back and forth on it
  • There’s a meeting on Friday where final decisions about this should be made
  • This would be an Islandora 3.0–planning for the future and ensuring that there is an easy upgrade path for people
    • Do we want to allocate more time to this discussion in weekly calls or in a separate meeting?
    • There are also a lot of PRs just waiting because they would be breaking changes–when do we want to push those?
• Think about ICC/LG roadmap: where do you want to see islandora in 18 months? Goals for the community & software
  • In the next month or so we would like to get a 3.0 out
  • In the next 18 months: Node-media relation
  • In the next 18 months, how to reconcile the two different types of Islandora users: those who want plug-and-play and those who know Drupal and can write modules as they need them
  • Fedora integration
• Think about events for next year
  • Encourage Interest Groups to have their own sprints
