Notes

Old Business

  • Previous meeting notes
  • IF staffing changes - update?
    • Leadership group hasn't replied; they have Friday morning meetings.
  • Rosie's work as relates to IF staffing
    • proposing to work heavily on documentation and collaboration
    • suggestion to not try to take on too much, burn out
    • Position (shaping up the docs) seems like a project not an ongoing position (though docs wrangler is a needed position!)
    • suggestion for sandbox to be tackled with a group of committers
    • ICG is doing a survey of weaknesses in the docs
    • concerns with replicating the Islandora 7 experience
    • suggestion to use youtube
    • Rosie will create a written proposal to the ICC, then ICC will make a recommendation to the LG

New Business

  1. ICG Report
    • Snapshot in time, some work has been done and some is still open.
    • Focused on migration - getting objects in and finding and using them!
    • Mike Kemezis discussed with DGI some of the same concerns, finding commonalities across the community.
  2. Renaming - Islandora 2.0 vs Islandora 8
    • not clearly communicated. Also sounds like a downgrade?
  3. Where are we going with Islandora 7
    • hard to get attention on PRs. Calls are down to once per month.
    • Current dynamic is to fork code and patch it yourself. Don't want to promote this behaviour.
    • Suggestion accepted to merge the 7x tech call with the 8x tech call! Informally passed.

Interest Group Updates

  • Metadata IG (Rosie)
  • IR interest group (Bryan or Don)
    • Amy: There's a lot in here that needs doing! Not all in the IG have the skills or time. Trying to break down who's-doing-what. Breaking down the Delta Doc into a Spreadsheet . Trying to maybe model what this would look like on a sandbox. Embargo stuff not figured out. Looking like this feature will need individual development or an extensive cookbook.
    • Moving from lists of requirements to coordinating development. Disparate places, timelines, requirements cause challenges! Not sure how it's going to happen.
  • ISLE Interest Group (Danny or Bryan)
    • nobody present from this IG
  • Documentation Interest Group (Amy/Yamil, Melissa, or Mirko)
    • has not met since last meeting.

Islandora 8

is now Islandora 2.0!

Islandora Events

  • Summer of Islandora Event is running next Tuesday! Final schedule has been shared on website, Google groups, and with past participants
    • Event schedule looks good! Full schedule. Three full presentations, and lightning talks too. 25 participants registered so far, will keep blasting.
  • Late September Open Meeting
    • How do we feel about themed open meetings?
    • Seems to draw more people
    • Effort vs attendance - is it worth it?
    • We always had 'presentations' anyway (even if we didn't call them "themes")

Round Table

  • Lost contractor automating migration and doing drupal development. Know anyone? Do we have a developer onboarding path to Islandora? Some of it's Drupal, some of it's Docker...
  • at UPEI, Alexander O'Neill will also be devoting time to Islandora.

Next meeting Sept 1

  • Chair: Gabriela Mircea
  • Notes: Bethany Seeger
