====== VuFind Community Call Minutes: June 1, 2021 ======

Attending: Bernd Fehling, Demian Katz

===== Agenda =====

==== 1. Development Planning ====

=== Newsletter Highlights ===

The [[community:newsletter:2021-05|May, 2021 Newsletter]] was discussed.

=== CSV Importer ===

Demian worked on [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1952|pull request #1952]] to improve VuFind's ability to send commands and write documents to Solr; he has merged this into the CSV proof of concept work in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1761|pull request #1761]], which should allow him to simplify some of functionality; he will continue to work on as time permits.

=== Future of Tools ===

VuFind unexpectedly ran out of Travis tokens, but Ere Maijala was able to quickly rebuild our CI workflow using GitHub Actions, so this is no longer a problem. Investigation of GitLab as a complement/backup may still be worthwhile, but is no longer at all urgent.

There is no news on JIRA.

=== Javascript Dependencies ===

Demian has not had time to revisit this issue yet.

=== Possible Laminas Deprecations ===

No news.

=== Static Analysis Tools ===

No news.

=== utf8mb4 Database Encoding ===

No news.

=== Search System Command Pattern Refactoring ===

Demian highlighted [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1967|pull request #1967]], which proposes some important changes to VuFind's internal search service.
==== 2. WOLFcon ====

Video recording was skipped this month to allow participants to attend [[http://openlibraryfoundation.org/about/wolfcon/upcoming/|WOLFcon]].

==== 3. Other Topics? ====

Bernd discussed the architecture of the BASE instance of VuFind.

===== Next Call =====
