Minutes

Action items review

  • Decouple the frontend and backend

    Underway. We now have the oeq-ts-api module, however it remains in the same repo.

  • Research governance

    Still underway - hopefully by next CDM.

  • Send out mailing list on Bb and availability to test fixes

    Done. Backport for 2019.1.

  • Setup issue to flag move to upgrade to current Java LTS

    With IS absent its hard to know this one. Its worth looking into any security risks.

  • Test integration with D2L

    Done. Hotfixes were released.

  • Request Apereo to answer Remove Travis from Develop oEQ branch

    Query has been sent out - but they want a more formal summary of what we want and why.

  • Remove Travis from Develop oEQ branch

    Done.

  • Add Autotest License headers

    Not yet done.

  • Look into process of encorporating checkfiles

    Not yet done.

Specific Topics

  • 2020.2 dropping IE11 Support (IS)

The decision was made for developing the new search UI that we would not support IE11 - from 2020.2 onwards only the old UI will support IE11. It will be discussed at the client forum in a couple weeks. Two Edalex clients have requested IE11 support - one rescinded, and the other would be content to use the old UI.

  • Bb rest code is now in oEQ

Can now use "Add to external system". There is a slight legal issue between Bb and Unicon over who creates the Rest App Id. August 6th will be the change date to Bb. Some of the older building block links no longer work but that could be a test data issue. The goal moving forward is that once we have this working we will drop support for Building Block. The process would be to update to 2020.2 and update the broken links.

Discuss code enhancements since last CDM

New search UI underway. Looks much more user friendly. Now have type ahead searching. Faceted searching is returning.

Review tech choices, code structures, direction

None this CDM.

Any tech debt concerns

None this CDM.

Open PRs to discuss

PackageAndNavigation flakey test - work has been done to attempt to improve it but in order to save time we added the retry annotation.

Q&A

We discussed the current COVID situation.
