Minutes

SiDora

• Call tomorrow at 10am Eastern with Thorny and Mark Leggot (DuraCloud line)
• Topic: How to move forward with SiDora

OCS testing environment

• Dan: Continuing to flesh out the execution environment, particularly trying to get the build to work properly
• Trying to get an integration test setup that can make use of a locally deployed Jetty, and not depend on an external DuraCloud
• Message broker is running, having some trouble getting it to stop. Trouble getting messages to be sent/received properly.
• Chris/Bill: Good to get more granular integration tests before getting into full end-to-end integration tests
• Will eventually need some end-to-end test
• Two main granular integration tests (for OCS):
  1. Send/receive message and push through OCS to end up with a Fedora object
  2. Start with a Fedora object, push it into SiDora, make calls to be able to retrieve it again
• Dan: Question to work out: How much wiring is done in Spring vs in code
  • Would like pointers to how this is done in DuraCloud (todo: Bill)
• Using Spring JUnit runner, allows for using annotations for config
  • We considered that as part of DuraCloud, but moved away from it
• Dan: Planning to make the call to cut off further test framework investigation by tomorrow

OCS object creation

• Still needs to be smoothed out
• Maybe half a day of work to get that finished up
• Dan to take this on, with a bit of help from Chris

Release 0.2

• Chris working on setting up the AMI for hookshot demo
• Dan: looking at another 2 days or so to get the demo in shape
• How solid does the release date need to be?
  • Jonathan: Need to show a demo, but not for another 2 weeks
  • Need to get moving on planning for 0.3 release
  • Dan: Would like an additional 2 days to be able to get the testing worked out prior to release
• Release date pushed to Thursday

Face-to-face meeting

• Goal is to plan out 0.3 and 0.4 releases
• Plan is to meet Sunday and Monday before BHR (Sept 9-10)

0.3 planning

• Need to meet to start this work as soon as possible
• Technical Meeting: Next Monday, 11am - 1pm
• ToDo for everyone: Begin to consider which items need to be worked in the next round
• Will also need to scope the work for 0.4
• Meet with Jonathan: Next Wednesday, 10am - 12pm

Sync tool update

• We have a functioning sync tool
• You can run through the wizard, and start things up
• Can't yet edit the configuration (can be re-set)
• Still need to set it up to be runnable as a Jar
• Some parts have been styled, quite a bit of work to do here (it is functional, though)
• Next task is to get the styling in order
• Should have something demo-able in the next few weeks
