Discussion of ISLANDORA-1837
Feel free to add more agenda items to the list

New member: John O'Connor!
- eScholarship Repository Librarian (the new Emily Toner) at Boston College
- Will be attending Islandora Camp
- Only been in current position for ~3ish weeks so still learning about Islandora & Scholar
Discussion of ISLANDORA-1837
- Seems like making the Solr fields used to link People to their works as a variable configurable in the admin menu (defaulting to the current hardcoded value) is a sane solution that shouldn't be too difficult to implement
- Bryan will discuss this with Rosie Le Faive (Entities component manager)
Discussion of UTK's TRACE IR migration project
- Undergoing usability testing
- Encountering issues with embargoes and role access
- How to handle "withdrawn" ETDs?
  - FSU implements an object-level embargo, but no tombstones
  - Other members agree that tombstones are a good idea, especially if you have permalinks/DOIs
Discussion of new Islandora contrib modules: Islandora Badges and Islandora Social Metatags
- Both built by Brandon Weigel
- Badges incorporates the old Altmetrics module, and will replace it after the 7.x-1.9 release is done
  - FSU wants to use Badges real bad (with some minor tweaks)
- Social Metatags lives in Islandora-labs and adds extra meta tag info to the HMTL header of objects so they look pretty when linked on social media
  - Who doesn't want that?
