Open Mic

  • TAC is looking at workflows, visibility, and training as themes for the year.

  • Live leadership training videos are now available in Lyrasis learning.

  • Question about the logic behind arrangement of confluence pages. ArchivesSpace is for general documentation; for community members to collaborate, information distribution and community collaboration

    Advisory council: collaboration for Advisory council but it is public. There are few spaces that are private for just council members

    Help center is a member only space; private space; benefit of membership

  • Randy and Dan are preparing to a proposal to make organize Advisory Council in a more streamlined way.

  • Question raised on behalf of organizations in the UK: What is the long term support for new releases. With upcoming release might be many small/medium institutions that won’t be able to make that adjustment quickly and want to stay on previous versions. Is there any scope for previous releases to be patched/fixed (vital) for a set period of time? 

    • ArchivesSpace has a small team that is not sustainable to patch previous releases

    • Will be focusing on providing a lot of training and support to make transition to external Solr/will be trying to make this transition as easy as possible

    • Code will still be up-so community members might patch any critical flaws

    • Could we bring it up at the community day in April? How many people could this affect? Is there a way for the community to help out?
