New Business

  • Islandoracon CFP closes today
    • Submissions are pouring in. We are currently two sessions short of the number for the last conference. Should encourage anyone that is thinking about it to submit.
  • Access CFP closes May 10 - anyone going? Want to give a lightning talk?
    • No one responded that they are going.
    • There is some interest in giving a stipend for people that want to present about Islandora at conferences. Perhaps $500 or something like that. Melissa will take this to the board.
  • Islandora 7.x-1.13 Release Managers
    • Currently no one is stepping up to be the release manager for the next release.
    • There were some suggestions from the previous release managers, but there isn't a previous release manager that is able to do the release management for this release.
    • If you know anyone to nominate we need 1 or 2 people ideally.
  • New Committers Emeritus
    • Thanks for all the hard work.
    • Rosie Le Faive
      • Stepping down from Islandora 7, but continuing on Islandora 8.

    • Close to the final MODS mapping document
    • Trying to get the workflow eased in
      • Workflow will involve some YAML
      • Want to make it as easy as possible to refine metadata using tools
    • This overlaps a lot with the Samvera mapping
      • But we go a little further with linked data in the basic mapping
      • It has been influenced by the Samvera mapping
  • IR interest group (Don Richards)
    • Notes available here.
    • There were a number of demos shown at the meeting.
    • Don Richards did a demo in the IG of the automated ingest workflow they are working on.

  • ISLE Interest Group
    • No updates from ISLE / LASIR.

Islandora 8 Update

  • In the final bit of the testing sprint
  • Recently added more test cases, currently at 30 / 48 issues covered in the spreadsheet.
  • Lots of good output from the UPEI RDM project to address issues that have been found.
  • Have begin to sweep though the issue queue to create a milestone of things needed for v1.0 release of the software.
