Minutes

Release testing

• Nick started deployment and testing yesterday
• Issue that Danny noted about the scroll bars
• The OpenStack provider is being considered experimental at this point
• Nick planning to test the other tickets (SyncTool and storage stats), should be done with testing by tomorrow (Wed)
• Bill would like to do a release this week if possible
• Danny in the middle of testing the SyncTool parts, just wrapping that up now
• Andy can provide OpenStack end-point credentials for testing
• Scroll bars issue - we landed on just letting scroll bars happen

Updates

• LYRASIS
  • Bill at DigiPres and working on OTM
  • Danny working on release testing
• TDL
  • Nick's been doing testing, looking to upgrade as soon as release is ready. Some internal things that were waiting on this release
  • Working to get funding for Bill to attend the private data grant
  • TDL is doing a planning grant to look at private and sensitive data, looking at service models and the agreements that would need to be in place
  • Meeting of the DPS Collaborative happened at DigiPres
• CANARIE
  • Mill still has work to be done, to get things writing to Rabbit MQ (it can read from the queue, but writing to the queue isn't happening yet)
  • Good traction on WestVault - working with LOCKSS v2.0, which has a push function (should be done in the next couple weeks)
    • May not require the bridge if the push model is a better fit
  • Standing up test instances using OpenStack Train (doesn't actually work with base Stein, they were using a patched version)
  • Also looking at MinIO object storage (https://min.io/), docker-based, instance per tenant (as an alternative to Swift) - experiments to be done to determine which is most S3 compatible

Operations

• There are a few PRs open that updates the RTS to handle DSpace 6 and 7 (opened by Michael S)
  • The next several months, expecting more folks wanting to use the RTS
• Things may come up after release
