Minutes

1. Islandora 8 Release Date Announced: May 31st

• hooray! (:birthday: :beers: :dart: :surfing_man: :clap: :tada: :shipit:)
• successful sprints
• no major "release blocking" issues
• all the major issues should be manageable by release time
• final reading from the community will help with escalating issues
• full-blown Drupal project on Drupal.org
• many thankyous to the dedicated folks involved

2. Would be nice to get these in:

-https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/claw-playbook/pull/95

• Installs PHP 7.2
• need to merge the PR
• let's forget 7.1 and below after this
• at some point, we'll have to shuffle all the microservices forward
• Symphony 4 has new ways of packaging code, we should look at this
• We need to plan for 7.3 testing soon

-https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/controlled_access_terms/pull/24

• Add some unit testing

-https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/controlled_access_terms/pull/23

• making taxonomy term fields translatable in the default configuration

-https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/controlled_access_terms/pull/22

• bump geolocation version

-https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/controlled_access_terms/pull/21

• Replace field_geo_broader with taxonomy-provided parent field
• It's not clear we should even pull this is at all
• Geographical location can have multiple parents
• Drupal's built-in taxonomies are kinda strict
• PR will be closed (by Seth)

3. Other recent issues:

• https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/1108

  • Drupal makes its own thumbnails, and it's confusing
  • We need to figure out how to better use what Drupal is doing
  • image styles are getting cached in Fedora
  • shoving it all into Drupal public file system is an appropriate solution

• Sidenote: last call to submit new (manageable) issues!

• https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/1113

  • Islandora has too many Type vocabularies
  • There is some overlap (e.g. Image in Resource Type and Model, same external URI)
  • Maybe try to ease the UI after the 1.0 release?
  • We're headed to Webform territory here, not nec. a bad thing, but complicated
  • Related to islandora_demo, we should change the name to islandora_defaults (happening!)
  • Danny will update the issue
  • You can base derivatives off of anything

4. Remove "Require branches to be up to date before merging" requirement.

• This ensures pull requests targeting a matching branch have been tested with the latest code. This setting will not take effect unless at least one status check is enabled
• It's kinda defeating the purpose of git in some ways
• Let's just get rid of it, we'll put it back if we need to, ok? ok!

5. Islandora 8 Release Milestone: https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/milestone/17

• didn't get to this during this meeting
• please review everyone
