      1. Whitman will share metadata fields associated with newspapers
      2. Not sure which things are structural vs. descriptive
      3. Not using PIDs anymore which will require workarounds in I8

    3. Need to make sure metadata Whitman is providing works with the system
  3. Born Digital theme updates
    1. Carapace theme based on Adaptive theme, which has lost its developer
      1. Probably won't be maintained for Drupal 9
    2. Working to move Carapace work to Bootstrap Bario
      1. Theme is widely used and unlikely to lose support
      2. Whitman theme will be a sub theme of this

    4. Solution packs are making a return in the near future
      1. This is mostly a matter of configuration
      2. In Islandora 7 content types defined behaviour, things are looser in Islandora 8
    5. Should we be concerned about Drupal 9?
      1. Upgrade from 8 to 9 is fairly minor
