Notes

Sent out invite to IG's to have representatives (co-conveners) attend ICC meetings.
- Invite co-conveners to formally be part of ICC? Too much labor? Could be useful for co-conveners to have bigger context and to get support from ICC. Can already come to individual meetings and present. Could opt-in after a period of time, or for a limited term? Would be useful to engage IG's for strategic planning.
invited IG's to talk at August open meeting. Positive response from DIG but not others
Updates from IGs
- MIG: Looking for a good findable place for field-of-the-week documentation
- IR: nothing to add for this week. was planning an informal IR "coffee talk" that could be part of an open meeting
- DIG: talked at IslandoraCon but was not well attended. Suggestion for future cons to not dual block presentations. Discussed migrating the documentation (platform - wiki?) and versioning the docs. Will research platforms then propose to ICC to make the call. This is a large task that will involve lots of work.
- LAC-GLAM: first meeting was well attended (~10 people). Presentation by Noah Smith about compound objects (install profile and starter site).
COC Committee
- Needs recruitment! Work is fairly low-key (until it isn't). Committee is down to 4-5.
TAG update
- discussed reversing the node-media relationship (follow-up from a discussion at islandoracon), in order to align with standard Drupal and allow us to use other Drupal modules. However it would change our ideas of the framework of the software and how an object is constructed. Coming from UTSC primarily with support from DGI. This would not require migrations but would require effort. Seth requested a proposal, with a narrative, that can be responded to (counter-proposal?). This could be discussed at an open meeting. The idea of creating a proposal of this breaking change received support, to better understand risks and opportunities. How might ICC support TAG? (open meeting, facilitating larger input, etc). Who makes these decisions? TAG is an advisory group and can make recommendations to a higher body. Perhaps Leadership/Board are the decision makers. Perhaps we need a tech lead, and to be applying for grants. ICC can assess community impact and make recommendations too.
- TAG will refresh the list of committers, moving some to emeritus
- TAG would like to be part of strategic planning process.
IslandoraCon
- A survey was done of IslandoraCon participants about the Con. There will be a small recap of the Con during the August Open Meeting
August Open Meeting (Aug 29)
- notes doc.
- Can remove TAG's Issue 1481 as solved.
- LG has reduced their meetings to 1/month instead of every other week; no meeting has happened since our last meeting.
- The "Community Planning" document (NOT a roadmap) that went to LG (to little reponse) could be the primary discussion topic, but needs better input from LG.
- Oral Histories tentatively on the roster for September.
- Survey/discussion, "what are your islandora goals?"
- Coffee talk on what should events look like? / feedback from the con? "air and share?"
- "node-media switch"? (No, too early, TAG needs more details and to respond). Maybe October/November.
LSAP for Mirador Integration
- Prematurely rescinded; there is possibility for creating a LICENSE file, if needed. Can probably go ahead
Survey or other community input on events/priorities
- working draft https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sstjUxSUw5PNX8y8Ai71IaYYxx36_Uv_6gGDswy9E6Y/edit
- plan was to focus survey on events (single topic, few questions, open for expression)
- reworked to three short questions (what do you want to see, what improve, what stay the same?)
- discussed timing, seems to lean toward launching the survey at Aug open meeting with a followup in Sept.
Planning for strategic planning
- LG didn't meet last week so their input will be asked by email following this meeting.
- Sarah drafted a process for upcoming meetings for ICC to review: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DyPK8RsxFXQyOUXAPqzLqLQ8BnMobFoxXHlZ37SxeKU/edit
- However, the ICC members who aren't here haven't seen it. Will ping them.

Action Items:

Amy and Sarah to draft email to IG chairs re coming to ICC meetings
Amy to re-ask for LG feedback on community project planning proposal for Open Meeting
Rosie and Alexander to resolve Mirador license issue.
Add 30-40 min chunk of time to next meeting agenda for wordsmithing the survey email.
Amy to reach out to the other members of ICC not in meeting to respond to the Strategic Planning Plan (with deadline) before sending to LG for their next meeting.
