Minutes

1. Packagist

   We have merged PRs (issue 475) to use composer to install Drupal. It is setup to pull from Github, and this causes it to pound Github and they throttle you. So we have to create an OAuth token from Github and add it to the config/variables file. This is not ideal but the goal is to move to Packagist. So if you have any concerns about this please let us know.

   Diego: Do you want to keep individual versions, or are we keeping a lockstep process of modules?

   Danny: Goal is to move them individually, but once or twice a year having a larger release process.

2. Metadata Interest Group

   One issue that came up in the Metadata Interest Group was around harvesting. A lot of insitutions are interested in harvesting (ie. for DPLA) and also being able to harvest in various output "formats".

   Danny: We are not ready for harvesting yet, but will be a feature after MVP.

   Jennifer: At the Fedora Camp some of the discussion around harvesting and deletion support?

   Nick: Fedora 4 does not do harvesting out of the box. There is a module but it requires some support from the community.

   Jennifer: Should we move this as a CLAW ticket or leave it as the MiG ticket?

   Nick/Danny: Some of this is a little out of scope for now, but documenting the current functionality of OAI support as well as desired features in new tickets for CLAW to keep each piece of work small and manageable would help to not loose this need of the community.

   Jennifer to create some new issues around this functionality for CLAW. 👏

   Jennifer: How could the metadata interest group get more involved?

   Danny: Testing is always helpful, just to have more eyes on it right now. Also working on the MODS to RDF mapping.

   Jennifer: If people want to test, how should they get involved?

   Danny: Checking Github issues and PRs, steps are in the ticket.

   Melissa: Tickets/PRs needing help testing are often added to CLAW call agendas too.
