Minutes

1. Welcome new committer: Rosie LeFaive 🍾
   • also, UPEI will be doing some RDM work funded by CANARIE: https://www.canarie.ca/rdm-funding-call-recipients/
2. https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/966
   • It was caused by a bug in Fedora 5's RC. It is filtering out all roles that aren't FedoraUser or FedoraAdmin; it caused Shiro on the Fedora side to be unhappy. So we're reverting our valve (Danny has a PR)... which means we'll have to update Syn and create a new (reverted) version.
   • There's a PR open in Fedora 5 and Jared suggests we test with that (and reverted Syn) to see if that allows us to "put stuff in fedora" or if we have to also change Syn (to pass FedoraUser instead of Islandora). It should be fixed soon, so we'll wait on that.
   • we should start shipping with a default WebAC policy at the root object, but we'll wait for this before starting work on that.

3. CSV Migration Example / Documentation: https://github.com/dannylamb/migrate_islandora_csv
   • Not done yet, but it works to ingest.
   • not dependent on the Migrate 7.x Claw thing. That had plugins for Fedora and XML -
   • uses pipe-delimited multiple valued fields.
   • it won't create a content type or structure the fields for you.
   • You can re-run a migration. You can tweak the migration and re-run (re-import the feature) to update your objects.
   • works for greenfield as well as power users (anyone who wants to run stuff through a reconciliation service for LD may find this useful)
   • Seth Shaw has created a way to manage {name, URI} pairs and import them via CSV.
   • The "correct" way to do this would be to use multiple spreadsheets, first ingest the subjects/people, then the objects using migration lokup. the way we do it right now is by creating entities (entity create API?)
   • note: https://dillinger.io/ is a cool site for editing Markdown, and it integrates with Github. Gitbook is another service that might do this (though also asks for money).
4. https://github.com/mjordan/islandora_riprap demo (related to https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/927)
   • microservice that periodically does fixity checks via fedora on your binaries.
   • uses a Views plugin to show a field in the view (not a field attached to the object) that fetches the fixity event information.
5. Anyone else having trouble spinning up CLAW?
   • Some days stuff just times out.
   • the Playbook with VirtualBox does seem to work, mostly.
   • Hit up the islandora dev list - include all relevant version info.
6. Adjournment 4 minutes early!
