[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace 1st Quarter Board update

[Gordon Daines]

[cid:D9C43C04-DF4E-467C-B0BC-358EF417F998]

Dear ArchivesSpace members,

As the new chair of the ArchivesSpace Governance Board, I am writing to report 
on the ArchivesSpace Governance Board 1st Quarter meeting, a call that was held 
September 27, 2019.
The operations report highlighted active participation by members in many 
community events, including the annual forum and upcoming integrations webinar 
series.  The board was pleased to note that membership has reached a milestone 
of 400 institutions and we are seeing increasing interest from institutions 
outside the United States.
The financial reports show that the program's financial position continues to 
be strong. The board updated the reserve fund consistent with the reserve 
policy to reflect the increased budget.
Kat Stefko was recognized as the new board liaison to the User Advisory 
Council. We reviewed the continued dedicated work of the Technical Advisory 
Council and User Advisory Council, especially the increased cross-council 
collaboration at both the leadership level and the sub-team level and discussed 
ways to potentially further integrate their work.
The board heard from Erin Tripp, the Director of the new DuraSpace Community 
Supported Programs division (of which ArchivesSpace is part), about the LYRASIS 
merger with DuraSpace and how the various community supported programs are 
starting to work with and learn from each other.
As always, the Board welcomes your feedback. Feel free to reach out directly to 
me or to your elected representative. On a personal note, I am pleased to be 
working with you as Governance Board chair this year. Having served the 
community at different levels of governance since 2014 (including as the first 
UAC Chair), I really appreciate how our community has grown and matured over 
the years. I look forward to the next steps we take together.

Respectfully,

Gordon Daines

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Volunteer for the next ArchivesSpace online forum

[Jessica Crouch]

Dear ArchivesSpace community,

We are currently looking for volunteers for the working group for our second 
ArchivesSpace online forum! Planned for late winter or early spring 2020, this 
event will build on the success of the 2019 Online 
Forum,
 which had over 400 registrants, participating from 7 different countries.

We would love this event to highlight the work institutions near and far are 
doing to adapt and integrate ArchivesSpace into their systems and workflows. We 
expect to offer a variety of activities aimed at building community connections 
and contacts among our users. All ideas are welcome!

All community members are welcome to volunteer for this working group. We 
especially encourage our Small and Very Small members as well as non-U.S. 
members to join in envisioning the next iteration of this event. We will 
schedule meetings and the forum itself in ways that allow for participation 
across time zones.

If you would like to volunteer, please respond by December 1, 2019.  And if you 
have any questions, contact Jessica at 
jessica.cro...@lyrasis.org.

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Add a static web page to ArchivesSpace PUI?

[Christine Di Bella]

Hi Kara,

Yes, following the process for requesting a new feature in JIRA is described at 
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/19202060/How+to+Request+a+New+Feature.
 If you need help with that, feel free to reach out to the ArchivesSpace 
Program Team at 
archivesspaceh...@lyrasis.org.

By the way, if some enterprising person wanted to take James’ very helpful 
plugin and turn it into core code, we’d be very interested. It seems like this 
feature is already most of the way there. We have some suggestions for turning 
plugins into core code at 
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/349995159/Turning+an+ArchivesSpace+Plugin+into+Core+Code.

Hi Kara,

Yes, there is no need to initialize this plugin.

And, sorry, I have no idea how you might request this as an enhancement.


Cheers,
James

I wasn't sure if I needed to run initialize-plugin.sh on this, so I did and got 
this.

Fetching: bundler-1.16.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed bundler-1.16.1
1 gem installed

[!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`: No such file or directory - 
/var/local/archivesspace/plugins/static_pages/Gemfile. Bundler cannot continue.

I figure I didn't need to initialize and this error doesn't matter, but just 
checking.



Correct. You only have to run that script if the plugin requires some Gems that 
aren’t already included in that web app core.
That there isn’t a Gemfile in the plugin directory indicates that it doesn’t 
need to bundle any additional Gems.
And when you run the Bundler, it’s telling you that there is no Gemfile.

— Steve.




Also, if I want to put this in as a request for an enhancement for the core 
code, should I put create a new feature request in Jira the project ANW?  Is 
that the proper channel?
Thanks again!
Kara

That’s funny - shows how much testing I did.

Should be good now.

But – What am I doing wrong.
When I put html in the file to be included, it comes out on the page looking 
like this:


This is a test
This is always a test
Tests are what I do.
here is a heading
This is always a test
Tests are what I do.
here is a heading
This is always a test
Tests are what I do.


So it is rendered on the page as looking like html code instead of the page 
elements.

Hi James,

Your original version will be useful to us, because we're probably going to 
want to add extra help pages to our staff interface for cataloguers 
transferring over from Archivists' Toolkit. And reading the static HTML from a 
file instead of building from ERB templates means they can be updated without 
restarting the service.

Andrew.

Just a quick follow up on this,

I had misread the spec and only provided the static page facility on the staff 
interface - should have been on the PUI. Andrew Morrison noticed my oops and 
corrected it, so now it should work on both.


Cheers,
James
