Agenda

Previous meeting notes
Islandora 7.x-1.9 release
Made some minor changes to release VM
Had a release call yesterday
Many new JIRA tickets and pull requests
Allowing 2 weeks to test before RC2
April 28 final release
LSAP Review
Approved by Board of Directors
Updated on islandora.ca
Committers working on how things will work in Islandora Labs
Want to maintain standards but encourage more participation
Travis users for Islandora
We are using a free version of this service so we have limits
On big merges this causes problems
Travis is currently associated with multiple users - should just be one Islandora user
Nick: this won't work. Problems were the result of a perfect storm around code freeze time
Editing many files (e.g. licenses) on the day of the code freeze will cause problems
Some merges may need to wait a few days when we have a code freeze or Travis will break
We can cancel builds if there are problems
As we approach a release we should talk to the community about how best to mitigate these issues
This will be added to the agenda for the next committers call
Update on LAC theses harvesting
Moving (slowly) toward a community specification
University of Alberta is the largest Hydra site in Canada and they are scrambling to try to fulfill the requirements
Mark Jordan is coordinating with them

Islandora Slack?
Islandora could get Slack for free with the Foundation's non-profit status
Nick concerned with code of conduct
Need to establish owners
Why is Slack better than our current options?
Skype versions are a problem to keep up with
Slack is convenient
Need a public archive
We are currently archiving everything with IRC
Slackarchive is an option: http://slackarchive.io
Free Conference Call line is currently available: https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/
Has been reliable
Includes international numbers
Melissa will survey the community to see if there is interest in Slack
This group will continue using Skype for now as it is a closed group and we make use of the Skype chat functionality
