• Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with Sinopia
  • 2021-09-24 - Didn't meet this week. Met instead with Dave to discuss queue of issues. Will likely table most geonames issues because not well suited to finding place of publication – these requests should instead use a different authority sources. 
• Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
  • 2021-09-17 - The working group making recommendations for how to express and consume change management documents continues to work on document: Activity Streams - Extensions for Authoritative Data Change Management Changes since last time:
    • add new Object Types (still under discussion) - These will identify what time of object (e.g. Person, Place, Subject, etc.) are being added/updated. Need to get some examples together – at this point, creating things that will be different for different ontologies and different authorities. Concern around representing diff. between authority object & RWO
    • add appendices for the 3 major use cases - I am working on getting collaborators for this. I wrote up the use case for a full cache as that is the LD4P use case. The other use cases would be able to work if authorities support the full cache, but not vice versa. The other two use cases are partial cache and notification system. It takes more effort for the providers to support the full cache use case, but I am hoping if the use case is clear and the benefits are clear, more of them will make this a priority.
• Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
  • 2021-09-17 - Docker released a new licensing scheme which requires paid subscription. There is a free license, but it is very limited and it is unclear if we will qualify and if Samvera community (also affected) will even qualify. Their definition of Open Source is very limited. If you have any contributors from institutions that would not qualify for the free license, then the Open Source project does not qualify. This would likely impact LD4P and Samvera. The only bright side is that in discussions with folks, it appears that the CLI would not be impacted by this. But today someone said that Compose would be. I have a question in for whether this means the docker-compose CLI or if there is another product named Compose.  I sent this information to Simeon in the context of LD4P to get his take on the implications of this.  Docker's FAQ2021-09-17: All authorities loaded. Greg will be setting up load testing, backup, disaster recovery. Also some work to figure out in GitHub Actions; will work on this in the coming week24 Greg set up for load testing of the containerized QA server and will start that today.
