Elda Schaffield

• Drupal 9 Migration Planning

• 19 Nov 2021

  • security update that needs to be applied

  • upgrade to Drupal 9 - we need to replace 2 modules before we can upgrade

    • Encrypt - we are not using it

    • Markdown - it is used everywhere

    • Elda hasn’t checked the custom modules to see if we will have issues

    • lots of files under root that need to be moved

    • we can do the migration and test it

    • Need 2 meetings to go over the workflow and Apigee integration with Elda.

Misc

  • there is a private campus M events API that Reg maintains, which was the issue.

Meeting and group focus year 2021

• Project focus

  • Resolve site issues after Drupal 8 migration

  • Transition the site to Elda’s team for maintenance

  • Drupal 9 migration

  • Front page redesign

  • AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database

  • Account cleanup automation

  • Identity integration and automation 

• Apigee Support

  • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support

  • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.

    • Drupal - OK to work with a student

    • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
