How do we make DU work?
UB, a strong organization vs. a project host/umbrella
Different perspectives
Shared understanding of current situation
Ideas how to rebalance projects vs. shared resources/infrastructure
Concrete plans for development at DU
Gets us talking! But...
Currently a space for the discussion of shared topics/plans/problems etc.
Mainly ad-hoc discussion based on individual initiative
Weak agreement on longterm plans
Planning is usually project based
Everything "not-project"-based is (more or less) unorganised
Non-project infrastructure could enable more efficient project
They could already be essential for projects!
What do we mean by “shared”?
Shared responsibility?
Keeping track of development and maintenance?
Active support?
Essentials vs. Nice-to-have
Search cluster
Goobi?
API-layer + services
Lemmatization
Glossary service
Ansible roles, images etc?
Accessibility resources/testing etc.
Monorepo
Framework for user feedback
Utilities (e.g. NPM packages, XML-lib)
How can we support shared resources?
Responsibility?
Dev cycles?
Testing?
Shared resources should be in shared, tidy spaces
Relationship between developers and project members
Define relationship with IT, what services can they provide? Sometimes unclear and even unstable
How to make better use of the meetings and standups
What do we prioritize?
Search cluster: what is the timeline?
Production ready
Test run with SDG dataset
Which projects will use the cluster?
API-layer
Framework discussion/decision
Development setup vs deployment setup
API design
How do we follow up on this?
