5 minProgram updateBradleyW (Unlicensed)Spring 18 is complete.  Sprint 19 has been delivered and is being testing:
  • moved reports to background job to reduce timeouts
  • container management

Next release date is uncertain, but aiming for late January.  Will include updates to EAD importer and exporter.

  • Developing pre-processing and validation tools for imports
  • Reviewing outstanding JIRA issues related to import/export
  • Testing the Archon migration scripts
  • Reviewing data import/export mapping documents for accuracy
  • Planning for EAD3 import/export
  • Planning for EAC-CPF import/export

We have also discussed the impact of Nathan Steven's departure, and how the sub-team can assist with community support of migration issues.

Minutes for the group are available on the wiki, and questions can be directed to Noah Huffman.
