- Previous meeting notes
- Launching the new website
- The website seems fine. Improvements might be in the look of things, which can be done after launch. Planning to go live. As it looks now is as good as it gets with staffing, so will go live, and if anything were to happen later, would be by hiring someone on a contract to go over it.
- Maybe send out for public comments before launch, so with a wider group of people looking at things, a wider group can look at the website.
-
ISLE 7's end game
- Melon grant - Before grant, had the plan to contribute code back to the Islandora community. Lookign to have a new prototype ready by May 2020. Isle 8 endgame: For the next 18 months (until end of life of Drupal 7), advantages of Islandora 7: Migration path from Islandora 7 to 8, so it's safe to use Islandora 7. It's a working platform for schools to be able to migrate onto. Plan to move Islandora 7 from ICG to Islandora 8 - lots of work - moving documentation and community trust is more work than the scope of the Melon grant could cover. Also moving documentation and code and where things are takes time away from Islandora 8.
- Discussion today with Islandora Coordinating Committee: Proposing to leave Islandora 7 in public repositories (all public and accessible). And don't transfer it to a new location, when it will only be viable for about 18 months out from now. Also, a potential problem of omitting something and purporting to have all the Islandora 7 stuff tight and together, but really have left a blind spot with something inadvertently omitted.
- Supporting keeping Islandora 8 efforts moving forward smoothly. Willing to make a statement Precedent for things that are essential to Islandora being hosted elsewhere. Example - Solr lives with DGI, but is essential to Islandora.
- Decision - DKC will do Islandora 8 as the focus of the Melon grant project. Will write up to Melon about not gathering Islandora 7 to a central location, and instead doing Islandora 8 in a central location.

VPAT for Islandora 8 [listserv link]- (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/islandora/M-yTiHJIxhs)
- Martha Tenney: Question from institution regarding whether there is a VPAT for Islandora 8.
- Discussing what standards to use - Canadian standards exist, U.S. standards exist.
- Need to go module by module, viewer by viewer, and then make many small tweaks.
- Wilhelmina: Tested Islandora 7 sites in Florida, and the Drupal parts tend to do well for ADA - navigating through headers by tabbing, etc. is built into Drupal. The viewers may not be great, and embedded PDFs have the important info in the PDF, which is what you upload and isn't Drupal. Drupal tries for government users (United States federal Environmental Protection Agency's website for example is in Drupal), so Drupal community keeps a focus on ADA.
- Samvera community has done a bit with this.
- Metadata IG (Rosie) - Looked at MIG mappings. Looked at whether mappings could be adopted as is. Looked at whether mappings could be adopted as is, vs needing to be adapted. Looking toward the future, looking to make more documentation and list things to think through in planning for a migration (ie. what remediation is needed first).
- IR interest group (Bryan) - No update
- ISLE Interest Group (Martha or Gavin) - Currently wrapping up MVP 1 (getting a working Islandora 8 system, but without Fedora; all microsystems working in Docker containers). Moving on to MVP 2. MVP 3 (doing remaining microservices, and Fedora, and Blazegraph; expected to take about 3 weeks). Then will harden system and get ready for production. Then, last sprint is documentation.
- Multi-tenancy Interest Group (Brandon) - No Update
- Working through Github issues. Fixed some solr issues. Working on Islandora 8. Wrapping up FITs, and MVP 2. There are some issues, but basically there is a functioning system. Look out for a working prototype of Islandora 8 soon.
- Recent Islandora and Fedora combo camp at ASU was a success. At the last minute made it more Islandora oriented, because attendees were more front end oriented. More than 40 people at the camp. High engagement level, with many questions coming in throughout. Following the camp, questions in Slack indicated that some people are trying installs. For most questions about can-I-do-this? and the answer is "yes!"
- Upcoming Islandora PEI: Call for proposals will likely go out next week. Not anticipating to cancel at this time, but watching carefully.
- FLVC: Selection process is ongoing for a successor to Islandora 7. FLVC is renewed as an Islandora Foundation member for a year.
- Martha Tenney: Looking to do a Hack/Doc in June (contingent on covid).
- David Wilcox: Continuing to make progress on Fedora 6. Sprints scheduled out for the rest of the year. Anyone who wants to join a sprint is welcome to join.
- Bryan Brown: Doing an FSU local Islandora install on Amazon Web Services.
- Brandon Weigel: Slowly building a multisite in Islandora 7 with ISLE.
