5. Roundtable
   • Alan: Islandora is way better than Omeka.
   • Bethany: Migrating Dspace content into Islandora, also working on workflows/strategies for moving from dev->staging-production.
   • Adam: "Fun in drush land." Also a d.o. issue he opened on long-running batch job was just merged.
   • Alexander: Might sign up for the sprint to work on install profile and what the Lightening distro can bring to Islandora. Also, mnentioned some auto-image extraction work that some students at UPEI are doing that he says could work in Islandora.
   • Don: Has been working on multilingual for Islandora, and the new Born-Digital install profile.
   • Eli: Working on with some cross-browser rendering issues with captions in the audio viewer.
   • Jordan: working on ArchivesSpace integration.
   • Kristina: is diving deep into having Drupal emit a Linked Data vocabulary. Also investigating how Paragrpaphs can map to RDF. Imporant use case for using Paragraphs is to manage a typed string.
   • Mark: SFU is migrating their IR to I8, go live should be in mid May. Islandora Workbench now supports Drupal 9 media creation and also Islandora-specific media creation for Drupal 8.
   • Rosie: attended Fedora UG presentiations on OCFL - very excited about it.
   • Seth: Most loading new content and squashing bugs as they pop up. Discovered that the "ulimit" (OS-level setting) needs to be upped from 1024 (default) to 64000, etc. Also starting a list UI tweaks on their new repo.
     • Don suggests that it's good to address the max connects setting at the application level to relieve the OS from needing to deal with it.
