Agenda

Old Business

  • Previous meeting notes

  • Islandora Code of Conduct Review: Next Steps

    • Process
    • Timeline
    • Ongoing and open-ended? Focussed task group?
      • Wait until Melissa is back

Interest Group Updates

  • Metadata IG (Danny)
    • Co-convenors are graphing out an object and all of its predicates, etc.
    • Discussion about what is left as strings, particularly about concatenating attributes from MODS into larger strings
    • Attempts a mapping out Paged Content led to the large discussion on what an Islandora 8 object is. Analogy: a car without a dashboard. Much of what was discussed in the thread and on call is not known to many non-developer users.
    • Reminder that this sort of discussion on-list is encouraged.
  • IR interest group (Don)
    • Open discussion about Islandora 8 and how LASIR relates to it
    • No organized effort to start migrating Islandora Scholar into Islandora 8; September is the likely beginning of those efforts.

Islandora 8

  • Sprint next week: 12 people other than Danny involved, including several new contributors.
    • How many are needed? As many as possible. (Not everyone who signs up ends up contributing.)
  • “What is Islandora 8” discussion outcomes:
    • Need to prioritize the UI and communication to end user for the next release
  • Several PRs merged this week; plan to get OCR text extraction and versioning done as part of this sprint

Islandora Camps

  • Islandoracon
    • Front Desk - catering/sponsors are out in public area and we'd rather not leave the desk unattended. Looking for more volunteers to sit at the desk - want two people per shift.
    • Swag has been delivered, and looks good
    • Registrations looking good: five new this week brings total to 69
    • At or above break-even point
    • Expecting a rush of registrations near the deadline

Round Table

  • Jeffrey Rubin: Currently hiring someone to run their production site.
  • Danny Lamb: Boatload of PRs to work through, which is good to see.
  • Michael Kemezis: U Conn received a grant (along with other Conn organizations) to build a system to connect to third-party systems, goal of connecting to a collective access system. Plus a metadata augmentation project about women’s suffrage.
  • Brad Spry: We need a way to record these meetings when Melissa is away. Multitenancy interest group is on Slack, has had two meetings so far; interesting things revealed about how people use multisites.
  • Rosie Le Faive:
    • Looking forward to the Multi-Tenancy IG.
    • Looking into Globus service, which allows you to upload large files using multi-threading, and make sure upload completes. Compute Canada has storage space available to use with Globus.
    • Working on translating paragraphs into RDF.
    • Working on implementing workflows: goal to share unpublished objects with other users to collaborate on metadata with other users before publishing. Module: Participant Workflow - which unfortunately conflicts with JSON API.
  • Wilhelmina Randtke: FLVC is doing a platform review to find a successor for Islandora 7.

Next meeting September 13
