10 mins

What we’ll do this term

• Continue to work with DevPri on tickets of interest to the group

• Check in with ongoing MARC work

  • ANW-1688 - Getting issue details... STATUS

  • ANW-1602 - Getting issue details... STATUS

  • ANW-1748 - Getting issue details... STATUS

• Pivot to EAD 2002 exporter – this will depend a lot on how the MARC work is prioritized

• Data Modeling Task Force? Link to more information

• Look into RiC? This relates to the data modeling work. This work has never made it to the top of this group’s priority list. It’s unclear if there is demand for compliance with Records in Context among the ArchivesSpace community.

• GitHub protocols: we briefly touched on this, but it didn’t come together. It would be good to establish a review and approval protocol for pushes to the repo such that the person that makes the change is not also the person that pushes the change. It’s just good practice to have multiple sets of eyes on changes!

5 mins

Logistics

• Decide on a meeting time – once a month (typically 50 minutes)

• Are there recurring times that work for everyone?
