Since the previous update, another 23 patches have been committed to the master branch.

This week also marks two maintenance releases, Evergreen 2.11.6 and 2.12.3, and most of the patches pushed were bug fixes for the web staff client.

I’m currently in Chicago for American Library Association’s Annual Conference, and the Evergreen community is holding an event today! Specifically, on Saturday, 24 June from 4:30 to 5:30 in room W177 of McCormick Place, Ron Gagnon and Elizabeth Thomsen of NOBLE will be moderating a discussion of a recent feature in Evergreen to adjust the sorting of catalog search results based on the popularity of resources. Debbie Luchenbill of MOBIUS
will also discuss Evergreen’s group formats and editions feature. Come see us!

The color and patterns of duck plumage have long be studied as examples of sexual selection as a factor in evolution.

Submissions

Updates on the progress to Evergreen 3.0 will be published every Friday until general release of 3.0.0. If you have material to contribute to the updates, please get them to Galen Charlton by Thursday morning.

Hi Evergreen Community,

You are cordially invited to weekly collaborative code review sessions. In these, we'll meet for an hour to review recent pull requests, read code, run automated tests, try patches out, provide feedback, merge code that is ready... all the best stuff!

We can meet at https://princeton.zoom.us/my/sandbergja.

All skill levels welcome! You can join for as many or as few sessions as you'd like. If you have submitted a pull request that has been languishing and needs some review, please bring that along too. We're going for a fun, positive, and social tone. :-D

This is not to take the place of any of the other great ways that developers can get feedback on their work (e.g. bug squashing week, the new developers working group, typical review process), just a fun supplement.

Hope to see you there,

-Jane
