• https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/913
  • Rosie: Worth having someone review it again. May not be working as intended. Jordan will review.
• https://github.com/Islandora/controlled_access_terms/pull/91
  • Willow: Closed and not merged.
• Rosie: PR triplet. Alpaca, Crayfish, and Islandora. Not keen on waiting until we have a global management thing. How do we want to handle this? Update all at the same time? Should be updated synchronously and should be fine. Rosie will test out some options on how to proceed.
• https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-dc/pull/320

Issues:

• https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_mirador/issues/17
• https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/2205
  • Willow: Patch has worked for clients needs but may not be the right way to handle it. Should sleep for a week, additions welcome. In backlog.
• https://github.com/Islandora/jsonld/issues/63
  • Rosie: will put a PR in and do versioning stuff.
• https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/2201
  • Rosie: ways to get content into and out of the repo.
• https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-dc/issues/306
• https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/1971
  • Rebel: Is there a way to view the image but not be able to download it?
  • Rosie: This would take a lot of resources to do.
  • Jordan: Custom DRM solutions for PDFs. What is uploaded into the repository already has DRMs.
  • Rebel: They want the system to already do this and watermark, etc.
  • Jordan: Watermarking is possible with Cantaloupe. But the rest would be external solutions.
  • Don: Wowza server to stream the media and reference it like it’s an external media. Maybe a way to override the download button.
  • Rebel: Disabled the download button, but the display is not nice.
  • Don: Could always do a JQuery to hide the button but with some digging they could still find it.
• https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/islandora-starter-site/issues/43
  • Alexander: Resolved. Want to repurpose and will hopefully have something to demo soon.

Newsgroup Messages:

• https://groups.google.com/g/islandora/c/v4GKKkOnSqM
  • Will be thought about on how to respond.
• https://groups.google.com/g/islandora/c/TgDDekVCKhA
  • Theme discussion:
  • Alexander: The starter site could do something like have an option to display a different theme, but also that is not the purpose of the starter site. Question of scope.
  • Don: Started testing and found adding a bootstrap barrio subtheme with twig templates was easy. We shouldn’t have a full customizable theme, but instead a basic subtheme available custom-made for Islandora. Might be worth exploring.
  • Rosie: A folder where we can dump twig templates may be useful to have things look more like a repository. Or maybe we need something on top of Olivero that we can dump twig templates into.
  • Don: https://github.com/jhu-idc/idc_ui_theme_boots Folder structure super simple. Took like 10 minutes. Bootstrap is maintained by developers and we could create something to piggyback on that.
  • Willow: Great starting point. We could make a Twig template for file vs. media download since that’s not included with barrio. Will ask if they can share their Born Digital theme.
  • Don: This could be the way to go–-ask the community for their themes and host them somewhere for people to use.
  • Rosie: Themes may have references to things in config. If we do a community theme thing we would want it to be as simple as possible. If we have to go in a theme direction, provide necessary css to have things work.
  • Don: Agree. Anything more can overcomplicate things for the user.
  • Adam: When switching themes you may have to redo your block placement. Things should be used directly or derived from it. Should we bother doing much or just provide a place where people can go look at other themes?
  • Rosie: There’s a module that copies block placement from old theme to new theme to map it correctly.
• https://groups.google.com/g/islandora/c/P9_14ypk72Q
  • IslandoraCamp March 20-21.
  • Rosie: Show off cool stuff!
  • Willow interested in presenting a module.
