Hello all,

It’s been a while since the first meeting of the BC Islandora User Group, and past time for us to meet and talk again. BC ELN is proposing to host an informal meeting on March 10, at 1:00 PM.


For venues, we're tentatively planning on hosting at SFU on Burnaby Mountain (will update with more specifics or if the venue changes). Planning for a meeting about two hours long, with the option to go out for a drink afterward.


For reference, please see the notes from our June meeting.


Please respond to the list if you're coming! And post any agenda topics you'd like to propose here too.


Some possible topics to cover:

  • Show and tell about what you’re doing with Islandora these days
  • Migration tips
  • New modules you’ve discovered/implemented/built
  • Planning a possible pre-Library Conference training session/hackfest in April
  • ???


Cheers,


Brandon Weigel

Update: I've booked room 3101 in the Bennett Library, 3rd floor, at SFU Burnaby. For those interested in a pint after the meeting, the Highland Pub is right nearby.

I'll be there. I can demo the Simple Map and/or Metadata Extras modules, or the On This Day module.

Cool! I'd like to see a demo of Metadata Extras.

I can demo Islandora Badges (which I expect to be in Core in the next release), the URL Redirector, Social Metatags -- anything people are interested in, really. 

I've a few modules in my Github if anyone wants to ask about 'em: https://github.com/bondjimbond

I'll be there too and I can show off Managed Access -- not developed by us, but I deployed it recently :)

Thanks for the interest, everyone! Some updates on the meeting:

- Location: Bennett Library, room 7200 (7th floor, next to Special Collections) at SFU Burnaby Campus.

- Remote participants: We definitely want as many people to come in person as possible. But for those who can't make it, we will broadcast a live feed as well, using Bluejeans, a web-based videoconferencing tool. You'll need to download an extension, and the site offers precious little guidance and documentation, but you can get the extension and test your video here: https://bluejeans.com/111/
Will be in touch later this week with a link to the actual meeting.

Agenda includes:
  • Demos:
    • Jance Banser: using Solr Views for a carousel
    • Mark Jordan: Simple Map, Metadata Extras, On This Day
    • Brandon Weigel: Islandora Badges, URL Redirector, Social Metatags
    • Alex Garnett: Managed Access
  • Discussion/planning for a possible workshop/mini-conference right before BCLA
Any other items folks want to add? Thinks you're interested in hearing about, even if you have nothing to say about them?

Hi again all,

Just a reminder that our BC Islandora User Group meeting happens this afternoon at 1:00 PM, room 7200 (7th floor) of the Bennett Library at SFU. Those interested in a chat and a drink after the meeting can join us at the Highland Pub just across the way.

Remote participants can join us on Bluejeans at https://bluejeans.com/1250002156/ -- please download the app/plugin ahead of time. 

The agenda is pretty informal, so feel free to bring up any new topics during the meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Hi,

 

We are short-staffed today, so I will be joining via Bluejeans rather than in-person.

Hi all,

It was nice to see everyone again.  Here is a link to the google doc I referenced today with links to documentation and modules. 

Please feel free to ask me any questions. See you at the next meet up.
