Minutes

  1. Docuementation sprint spreadsheet still open
  • Still open
  1. Dropping PHP 7.1 support?
  • Summary: We can move claw-playbook to PHP 7.2, and any fallout issues will be dealt with as they arise.
  • riprap requires 7.1.3+. Are there anyone who uses PHP 7.1? Can we drop support for 7.1 and only consider supporting PHP 7.2?
  • Alan - Installing 7.1.3 in Ubuntu seems difficult.
  • Jared - Should we consider updating the base box (ubnutu 18)?
  • Danny - There are known issues in moving to Ubuntu 18.
  • Jared - The 7.1.3+ dependency is from php symfony framework. Thus, it makes sense to move to PHP 7.2.
  • Danny - The need for PHp 7.2 is forthcoming, thus we will update the claw-playbook and resolve any fallout issues.
  1. JWTs: How often/how do we renew them?
  • Summary: Seth's PR can be merged. However, we should come up with a way to refresh or renew token.
  • Danny - We need to create a new authentication token when every Fedora operation started on the Drupal side.
  • Jared - If we create a new token each time, then it should be valid for a short time.
  • JonathanGreen - There can be a another problem in processing queues if we have a short life span.
  • Jared - Need a way to re authenticate/re fresh the token.
  • JonathanGreen - Two options: use the simpler password method. Otherwise, we will have to find a way to refresh the token or request a new token.
  • Jared - Seth PR will resolve his issue; however, we can expect other issues down the line. We can merge it for now.
  • Danny - Will create a ticket to track the larger scale issue.
  1. Islandora Cookbook
  • Similar to Islandora Awesome list, this list is intended for Drupal modules that can be easily integrated in Islandora 8 stack.
  1. Audio/Video streaming use case
  • We should look to see how we can return the multiple files in a single stream, then create appropriate files in Drupal.
  1. One file per Media and other assumptions we should abolish
  • Summary: We should be clear and careful about the content model we support. This use case can possibly be just a collection, or can be modelled as a compound object or supported via views.
  • Rosie - This use case breaks the object model assumption. Multiple images would form a collection.
  • Alan - Digital Humanities usually require each digital object to have their own metadata. In 7.x, if something needed metadata, it was its own object.
  • Rosie - Drupal's accordances do not necessarily translate well for a repository model.
  • Danny - We can possibly support this feature using features or compound object model.
  • Rtillay - We can possibly use Linked Data authority uris.
  • Rosie - In MODS, we have a similar issue where we conflate the thing that describes the object with the object itself.

Other Agenda items will be taken up during the next meeting.
