It's no secret that working with Samvera has its own learning curves that provide a challenge for even the most seasoned Rails developers. SoftServ hears from a lot of institutions who have experiences developers on staff, but need some help with the Samvera-y pieces. SoftServ has responded to the Community need for training with a curriculum of hands-on workshops designed in consultation with Community members. The goal is to benefit the Community at large by equipping more developers with the skill sets to support the technology and sustain the Community. This talk will introduce the series and provide details about what participants can expect to learn.
Notch8 completed this accessibility audit of Hyku 3.0 using PALNI & PALCI's Hyku Commons application for the Hyku for Consortia project in 2021. This audit was commissioned by University of Tennessee Knoxville prior to adopting a Hyku solution for their digital collections and institutional repository.
Hyku is a solution based on the Hyrax engine. It takes the components of Samvera, and delivers a turn-key but customizable repository application. This presentation from Samvera Connect 2021 provides an update on the latest Hyku release, future plans, and the current status of Hyku pilot projects across the community as of October 2021.
What is it like to dive headlong into Samvera from the outside? Notch8 assigned three interns to work on the Bulkrax community gem in 2020. They were not only new to Samvera, they were brand new developers in training. This talk will address the success of using interns on a Samvera project, the hurdles of taking on Samvera development, and the challenge of understanding the community concepts. You'll have an opportunity to ask these incredible interns about their experiences as they do a brief demo of their work. The 'Related URL' below links to a video recording of the session.

Key voices from the Hyku community, including the British Library, Notch8, PALCI, PALNI, and Ubiquity Press, will discuss their perspective on what makes Hyku the solution for various use cases. This will not be a list of project updates, but instead be a dialogue about what makes Hyku a versatile platform and why it was chosen for our projects. Hyku users and potential adopters will benefit from the opportunity to ask questions and come away with a greater understanding of this continually evolving repository platform.

Multi-tenancy is a key feature, exclusive to Hyku among Samvera repository solutions. It means that with one instance of the software, multiple discrete branded repositories can exist. They are individual from the public-facing side, but can be managed from a super-admin layer in Hyku. In this video, Amanda Hurford from PALNI demonstrates new repository creation from the super-admin level. PALNI and PALCI's Hyku for Consortia provides an excellent use case for this feature, allowing member libraries to manage their own repositories within a single instance of Hyku. This demo also touches on creating a work and the UI to customize theming, both of which will be explored in future videos. To play the video, go to the 'Related URL' link below.
