Reflection on Virtual Blacklight Summit in 8-10 November

• Main site: bit...ly/blacklight2021, Community notes
  • Community: Depending on day, between 30 and 60? participants (don't have official number right now).  
    • Conversations around plugins, contributions and PRs, who is a committer, upgrading, how to  improve developer experience, how to continue discussion around overall directions
  • Examples of Blacklight use outside the library space or with non-MARC data
  • Blacklight 7 in a transitional space from older partial-based customization and newer ViewComponent approach (expectation Blacklight 8 will use the latter alone)

    • GitHub issues
  • 2021-11-05
    • Didn't demo to user reps as that meeting got moved up to Wednesday
    • Doing demo for D&A team today
    • Have found some inconsistency in the structure of the data returned by id.loc.gov resulting in things showing or not if reloaded. It turns out that the data itself seems consistent so have been able to work around this. Will email Kevin to ask what might be going on
    • Tim has been working on code cleanup and making the layout consistent; and also using exclusion information from YAML config
    • Jason notes that as this moves toward production we'll have to think about who owns the exclusions file and how that will be maintained
  • 2021-11-12
    • Tim has been busy! : ) (Meeting with user reps after this call)
    • Huda: Did slack Kevin about id.loc.gov but haven't heard back.
      • Also worked on updating exclusion mechanism to rely on index heading alone (can explain why this was different before)
• BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
  • Jamboard link
  • Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
  • 2021-11-05 - No work on BANG this week, focus on DASH.
  • 2021-11-12:
    • Huda revisiting item view integration, included "online" field info and indicate (for debugging) whether related works coming in from PCC ISBN or LCCN relationships, etc. Began work on LOC Hubs in this page, some debugging, and thinking about how to bring this information back so it connects to catalog results.  Also need to revisit work to work relationships (have a data file and will bring this in for viewing later). 
    • Steven researching IMDB and Dune : )
• DAG Calls
  
  • 2021-11-05 - Contacted Mark Matienzo and they commented that the "Lighting the Way Handbook" was just about to be published https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/stanford-libraries-blog/2021/11/announcing-lighting-way-handbook
