Program update

Christine Di Bella (in absentia)

We expect to put out 2 releases by the end of the year: a smaller one with a number of bug fixes and small features (including improvements to the spreadsheet importer) and a separate one focused almost solely on agents. This way people can decide if they want to go straight to the agents upgrade or hold back but still get the bug fixes and improvements in other areas. We’re freezing the code for the smaller one tomorrow, so if you have a pull request in your pocket, now’s the time to submit it.

Speaking of code, we’re participating in Hacktoberfest and any code you submit to the ArchivesSpace Github repo, big or small, in the month of October, counts toward prizes. Learn more at https://archivesspace.org/archives/6563.

We are excited to be hiring for the ArchivesSpace Technical Lead. (It’s an understatement to say that the world’s been pretty unsettled since Laney left in February, which led to the lag in getting the go ahead to post this position. We’ve been fortunate that Lora and Mark have done such great things with development and technical leadership side in the interim.) The position description is at https://lyrasis.isolvedhire.com/jobs/145014.html. Please circulate it widely, and feel free to contact me or send anyone with questions my way. This is really important position on the team and for the ArchivesSpace community and we’d love to hear from anyone who might be interested.
