Identify a new Product Owner

[jrgriffiniii]

Given the priority of the Valkyrization labor in Hyrax needed in order to advance the major release of Hyrax with Valkyrization support, I would like to please request to serve as interim Product Owner for valkyrie.

The Product Owner role in Valkyrie has typically been a way to engage other institutions in the ongoing development and maintenance. Is the lack of one right now somehow hindering the Valkyrization effort in Hyrax?

I apologize, it was my hope to try and engage with the Samvera Community regarding the requirement of a Product Owner for Core Components (there seem to be some tasks which could, perhaps, be instead undertaken collectively for Component Maintenance, alleviating the need to have any given individual specified for this role for each component). I did not wish to introduce this as a discussion point, and just serving as the interim Product Owner until a Hyrax Tech. Lead was successfully identified seemed to be temporary solution.

I have no objection to leaving the Product Owner in place and engaging with Hyrax developers focused upon the Valkyrization effort.

We just found a product owner, I'll update it shortly.

Thank you!
