From laurie.arp at lyrasis.org Tue Feb 11 08:34:44 2020 From: laurie.arp at lyrasis.org (Laurie Arp) Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 13:34:44 +0000 Subject: [Archivesspace_small_archives_users_group] Laney McGlohon news Message-ID: Dear ArchivesSpace Community, It is with regret that we announce that Laney McGlohon will be leaving her position as ArchivesSpace Tech Lead to take a position with a startup in the financial district of San Francisco. Her last day will be February 19. She will be deeply missed by her fellow team members and the ArchivesSpace community. As the inaugural technical lead, Laney has been unflagging in her efforts over the last three years to build a strong infrastructure for our technical development and community engagement around development. She has shepherded over 20 releases and release candidates of ArchivesSpace since joining us in January 2017. She has reviewed and worked on thousands of pull requests, moving the ArchivesSpace application forward with each one. With her implementation of more standardized processes for code review, technical documentation, and security scanning, as part of a technical direction that helps us balance the immediate needs of the community with our long-term goals, she leaves our application in a better place than where it started. Laney's understanding that people are the most important component in building an application is especially appreciated. She has grown our developer community by cultivating relationships with individual developers and contractors. She has created opportunities for community members to contribute and improve ArchivesSpace via the Core Committers and one-on-one onboarding and mentoring. She has made our technical community bigger and more diverse. We are very thankful for all of these accomplishments, but, in the end, it is her humor, her enthusiasm, and her dedication to always doing the right thing that we so appreciate and will miss the most. LYRASIS, the Organizational Home for ArchivesSpace, will be working to fill this position so look for more information soon. In the meantime, other team and community members will be covering Laney's critical responsibilities. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. We wish Laney well in her future endeavors and very much hope for opportunities for our paths to cross in the future as she continues out in the wider ArchivesSpace community.

You can download it at https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.7.1. This release contains program-led and community pull requests that provide feature enhancements, bug fixes, infrastructure improvements, and documentation updates. Items of note include the ability to merge container profiles, a new select all capability on browse pages, and accessibility improvements. Thanks very much to community members Blake Carver, Mark Cooper, Alex Duryee, Chris Fitzpatrick, Jeremy Friesen, Brian Harrington, Peter Heiner, Adam Jazairi, Steve Majewski, Dave Mayo, Andrew Morrison, Tom Shorock, Douglas Simon, and Maura, and program team members Laney McGlohon, Lora Woodford, and Sarah Morrissey for their code contributions to this release. Welcome and thanks to new contractor Brian Zelip for his contributions. As always this release would not have been possible without the efforts of our Development Prioritization sub-team, Testing sub-team, Technical Documentation sub-team, and Core Committers Group. I wanted to note that this will be the last release to come out under the guiding hand of Tech Lead Laney McGlohon. Thanks to Laney for all she's done for the ArchivesSpace application and community over the last three years. We will greatly miss you. Information on upgrading to a new version of ArchivesSpace is available at http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/upgrading-to-a-new-release-of-archivesspace/. Please let us know if you have any questions or need help upgrading. While we are in the process of adjusting development plans to reflect staffing changes and will be updating the roadmap accordingly, we still expect to have releases later in the year that include finished work for a number of the projects currently in progress, including merging top containers, functionality for importing from spreadsheet files, and the expanded agents module. If your resources for upgrading ArchivesSpace to new releases are limited, you may want to wait to upgrade until later in the year, when these features are available.
