Participants

Agenda

  • Issue tracker sheet

    • They’ll get back to us on Handle and DOI

    • PDFs- this problem is fixed

    • SWORD

      • Ready to configure

      • Deposit packages can be saved with the objects

        • We’d like to turn this on

    • Embargoes

      • Question we need to answer- should the item be fully embargoed, or just the bitstream?

    • How do bitstream-only embargoes work? How much time does that take to turn on.

    • ‘complete’ items

      • We should review and let them know, as James will be ignoring this as they transition us to the issue tracker

  • Reconfirm how many hours we have remaining, and confirm how bugs fixes work in this context. 

    • James has said we’re above and beyond our developer hours?

      • We’re up to 50 hours

        • Reasons- a lot of customizations in terms of the configurations

        • Input forms are nonstandard (requires API work when integrating with outside systems)

        • Datacite DOI issues

        • OAI configurations

        • Rounds of feedback

      • Wishlist items (tab 7)

        • See later item

      • We’re at a point where we should use our credit system

        • Online tracker portal will tell us this, however, we’re not in it yet

        • They allow the balance to dip bellow zero to accommodate financial years and procurement processes

        • What is the rate for hourly work going forward?

          • 64 credits per year (credit is 15 minutes). So, two work days.

            • This is what we currently have in the bank

          • Bram: same flat rate

            • $39.06 per credit [150 per hour]

            • $1250 per day

          • David: are we short four hours?

            • Answer a bit unclear

          • Going forward we don’t need to worry about the time already spent. However they will

            • Re: overrun

            • Atmire will look through

          • David- next move is to get the estimate for the remaining work

  • More credits can be purchased as needed

    • James: it’s time to switch to this model

    • Also time to prioritize our future requests

    • Question for Atmire: can you produce an estimate of how many credits are needed to complete the work

      •  

  • Get cost and time estimates for the last three major items (SWORD, DataCite, and Elements).

    • SWORD

      •  

    • DataCite

      •  

    • Bug fixes

      • If the bug affects a core functionality it’s an ‘infrastructure ticket’ no credits required

        • For example, the duplication of results in ‘browse by’…

      • If the bug affects a customization we requested it takes support credits

    • Elements

      • Doesn’t have to happen before go live

      • Workflow- configure on elements dev, then switch over to the production

        • Note:

  • Define when Atmire could, hypothetically, work on Elements integration, so that we can define a timeline for configuring repository tools 2 on our end. 

    •
