Notes

• Kirsta's overview of Islandora Foundation actions from August 2020 to the present set up context for current work and directions for work in the near future including platform functionality (such as IR, Mirador), documentation work, and administrative decisions around staffing and online camp scheduling and format.
• Framing discussion question: what does success look like for Islandora?
  • Criteria included platform predictability, more committers; one way to look across many criteria is in terms of community health, which can encompass technical and interpersonal aspects, and let us look for continued engagement and deepening investment of community members in the platform and the community around it.
  • One concern was that lack of an easy migration path is a factor in community health, because it takes away from the ability to be engaged in the Islandora community
• This meeting discussion shows differences in expectations of Islandora: as a toolkit that lets you do what you want, or as a more centralized set of specific functionalities, that is, as an unopinionated or an opinionated framework.
  • Is it possible to support both visions? It's necessary to grow the user base of the software. Some institutions want one kind, some want the other.
  • A vision of the starter site could be a way to develop more of a community consensus around options.
• One goal could be coming to a consensus of how opinionated Islandora is, and expanding the documentation that makes that clear.
• Agreement that documentation about all migration tools and recommended steps for migration would be helpful.
