Discussion Topics

Time	Item	Notes
5 min	Review and confirm work plan	2021-2022 Work Plan Yay or nay? Though we only had 3/5 members present, we Yayed it.
15 min	New member Member email New ticket	Christine has let me know that we can anticipate a new member I have received an email about AS compliance for Records in Context. Response? Community engagement opportunity? Discussed. This ontology is still in beta and is too new for widespread adoption. We will not make a recommendation on supporting this at this time and can revisit once this ontology is in widespread use. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1382 Kevin will review
25 min	Update on progress	Specifically updates on the tasks in the Action Items from the last meeting I (Valerie) have set up a subscription to an improved search filter. It will email me once a month. Please let me know if you’d like to be subscribed or to receive an automated forward from me. Kevin will receive these forwards, though Valerie needs to improve the filter Here is the filter in JQL: status in (Accepted, "Assigned to Developer", "Awaiting More Information", "Awaiting Prioritization", "Awaiting Support", "Development Started", "In Progress", "In Review", "Newly Added", "Pull Request Submitted", "Ready for Community Developer", "Ready for Implementation", "Ready for Inclusion in Release Candidate", "Ready for Testing", "Staff Interface Shortlist", "To Do", "Waiting for questions to be answered") AND labels = metadata_standards_subteam
10 min	Remaining issues from 2021-06-08 minutes	Remaining issues from 2021-06-08 minutes We reviewed this during the meeting and it immediately brought our attention back to the idea that we are committing to reducing support for edge cases. Some of these remaining issues fall into that, so first do a retroactive review of what in the MARC mapping we will no longer support. Elizabeth has volunteered to do this first pass. This will be folded into a goal and will have some action items associated with it, like presenting to the community and documenting what we are not supporting
5 min	Next steps/homework

Minutes

Minutes for individual topic discussions are reflected in action items and the agenda above; decisions about tickets end up as comments in those tickets
Big takeaway from this meeting is that many things coalesce around the goal of being explicit about what we do not support. Tickets, outstanding issues in the mappings, future work, community engagement are all entwined in this idea and it’s going to be a theme for the year. This carries momentum from last year.
