OLF representatives joined the meeting to discuss WOLFcon/VuFind Summit logistics.
General plan: include an introduction to VuFind (and any in-person events that are appropriate) to the main WOLFcon schedule; these events can be covered by standard WOLFcon fees, as they will be made available for free streaming later. The VuFind Summit will take place a week after WOLFcon as a free online event supported and promoted by the WOLFcon team. This enables us to maintain free access and flexibility while also providing some “extended content” for WOLFcon and taking advantage of cross-promotion, etc.
Next steps:
Ideally, the WOLFcon schedule details should be pinned down by June 7 at the absolute latest (a week or more earlier is better).
There is an OLF roundtable on May 19 at which further WOLFcon planning will take place. If others are interested in participating, they can reach out to Demian for meeting details.
Current assignments:
No progress since last month.
The JIRA migration was successfully completed.
Demian is now working with the OLF to set up some @vufind.org email addresses for standard activities (e.g. treasurer@vufind.org). This may take some time due to the complexity of DNS setup, etc.
Demian also heard from Scott Anderson (the OLF's treasurer) that international payment processes have been worked out. Those interested in learning more can reach out to Scott for details.
All outstanding JIRA tickets targeted for 8.1 now have open pull requests associated with them. See the 8.1 milestone in GitHub for all the details. If time permits, reviews/comments are appreciated to help complete this work. Pull requests #2420 and #1791 should be given some priority, since they are the remaining ones likely to cause language file additions, and they should be locked in before Demian starts the process of obtaining updated translations.
If we can complete outstanding work during May and obtain translations during June, a release during July seems potentially realistic. Target date: July 18.
The RSP agreement draft seems to be reaching a fairly stable state.
Scott Anderson from OLF has expressed a willingness to review a draft and (if necessary) pass it along to OLF legal counsel for further feedback once we are satisfied with our version.
The group reviewed the current draft, and there were no objections. Craig is going to do one more pass of resolving comments, after which the whole PMC can review for typos, etc., before passing along to Scott for feedback. Craig also plans to work on a draft of the RSP form.
Chris finished editing the most recent Community Call tutorial video, so we are caught up there.
The final outstanding editing work is the remainder of the 2021 Summit.
Some other possible items for the future:
None this month.
