Minutes

Old Business

New Business

  • Welcome to new members: Dara Virks, plus round of introductions from other members

  • Islandora 8 survey's up!

    • Everyone is encouraged to respond! Data is good. Some surprising results so far. End results will fuel the technical roadmap, but we'll use human judgement. Some things may rank low for most, but those who needs them, absolutely need them, so we will take those factors into account. What this survey really gives us is solid data about common needs.
  • Adding another line of conversation for i8: User's Call?

    • User-needs conversations have been dominating the tech call lately. There's a real need for these conversations, but maybe we should give them their own space? Rosie is offering to liaise between this group and the tech call.
    • How do we get people to attend? User's time is valuable; what's the reward for attending?
    • Recurring meeting? Do we expect regular attendance, or just occasional drop ins as needed?
    • Can this meeting contain troubleshooting? This gives some value to users, but also gets us insight into their issues. Maybe frame it as a kind of open office hours.
    • What's the measure for success? Attendance
    • Conclusions: User's Meeting, with "office hours" as an advertised component to provide value for attendees. To meet bi-weekly, on Thursdays at 1:00 PM ET. Rosie will draft an outline for how the group will work.
  • Renaming our default branch

    • It's an easy step for us to change our branch from "master" to "main" and to audit and remove instance of language like "blacklist" and "whitelist."
    • Questions: does this include all orgs? IGs, Labs, etc? If we're going to make this change, we should make it across all orgs. If people want to use our spaces, they'll need to abide by this change. Danny would give a public notice before making the change, then branch master off, make Main the efaults, and leave master up for a short period to account for technical challenges.
    • Proposal is put up for a vote. Melissa will take it to absentees to vote by email.

Interest Group Updates

  • Metadata IG (Rosie) - Meeting was cancelled on account of Islandora Online
  • IR interest group (Bryan) - No meetings since last ICC meeting
  • ISLE Interest Group (Danny) - Has not met since last ICC meeting, but some general ISLE updates: Danny will be moving ISLE tickets over into the main GitHub issue queue. Also folding the ISLE architecture call into the i8 Tech Call. Seeing quite a few people trying out ISLE 8 in the past few weeks. It needs documentation work. Danny is very happy with the project and feels it should be our official deployment method. You can get Islandora in minutes! Make changes, have them show up right away! Don has some useful docs for deploying it on AWS, which he and Danny will work to get into our main docs.
  • Multi-tenancy Interest Group (Brandon) - Haven't met in a while, but meeting today! Will talk about multi-tenancy in ISLE, in particular.

Islandora 8

  • Mostly covered already, but doing some work to clean up easy features ahead of the survey results. Also working to move the i8 sandbox to ISLE, and documenting how to do that.

Islandora Online

Round Table

  • Amy: ICG has been doing mostly internal governance work, planning for Hack/Doc, etc.
  • Bryan: Trying to push an entire Fedora datastream store to Amazon glacier. Trying to .tar up everything to save money.
  • Dan Aitken: On the cusp of a release for an IR implementation. Will have a lot to announce shortly! A lot of what they have built should be fairly easy to give back or make publicly accessible. Will need to have a conversation with th IF about how exactly to do that.
  • Danny L: Prepping for a presentation at Islandora Online, playing Islandora Workbench. probably the easiest way to get stuff into i8. Also really enjoying Alexander O'Neill's Linked Data Lookup Field module.
  • Dara: Wrapping up work on i8 theme (working together with LYRASIS). Hoping to contribute that back to the IF.
  • David K: Survey feedback: No questions about Fedora, needs an "anything to add?" question at the end. Using JP2s, and colors appear inverted in Adobe products. Appear normal in Islandora collections.
  • Mike: Also having JP2 issues,and working on it with dgi. Also: launching Rights Audit for 80,000 objects in repos to standardize rights statements. Hoping to release many, many things into the public domain.
  • Rosie: Trying to get documentation updated, has some PRs in that could use Committer attention. Hoping to spend more time on Islandor stuff in the near future. Alexander O'Neill has been working on Islandora stuff as well, and would like feedback about what more is needed.
