Review of New Issues

In JIRA:

  • FCREPO-496: Permgen grows when Fedora is repeatedly deployed/undeployed w/o restarting Tomcat (GrahamT)
  • FCREPO-426: Revisiting "managed external" datastreams (RonJ, orig proposed by MatthiasR)
  • FCREPO-497: DS title as content-disposition filename when GETting datastreams from Fedora (MattZ)
    • Related: dates in URLs
    • Also: extensions with IE
    • Or: Preferred filename
    • NSDL uses as filename (so does stanford)
  • FCREPO-498: Connection pooling via c3p0 -- dbcp out of date (AaronZ)
  • FCREPO-445: Cardinality support for DS-COMPOSITE-MODEL (RichardG)
  • FCREPO-499: Validation on ingest (AndrewW)
    • Folks working at Goddard, simple case of XML, want schema validation on ingest
  • FCREPO-500: (related: FCREPO-405) Support for PUT/POST/DELETE on disseminators (MatthiasR)
  • FCREPO-501: Fedora as WAR without need to run installer (Asger, TimD, etc)
    • Need more detailed discussion on this (long-term strategy)

To-be-entered:

  • WebAdmin ability to change configuration on the fly
  • Update docs to indicate that the preferred file upload method (for add/modify datastreams) is via the REST API rather than upload servlet (MattZ)
  • Upload vs "by reference" and temp files
  • Support for hierarchical storage (new verb that says, asking if the datastream is available), Dan: heard from Sun, Donna Harland, also Matthias, Juan Rodruigez, also someone from U of Minn.  also Multiplexing Eddie: Heard from Stanford person re:hierarchical storage.  Did their own abstraction layer.  Alpana Pande?  Lazy Susan.

Debrief of OR09

What did we hear

  1. Request for blogging of DuraCloud activities (MattZ, others)
    1. Action: Add DuraCloud wiki space
  2. Request for Fedora transparency
    1. Interest in Special Topics meetings
    2. Interest in recording audio of meetings for people to listen to later
      1. Action: June 9th for Special Topics
  3. Request for details of FedoraRepository/DSpace architectural roadmap
    1. Want latest Roadmap on website/wiki (TimD discussion: "Roadmap" theme as Jira field, and auto-generate parts of roadmap from Jira?)
  4. Maven2:
    1. Lots of positive responses
    2. MarkD wants Fedora POM for DSpace-on-Fedora builds
  5. OSGi:
    1. DSpace considered OSGi early on, but steered away from it in part due to percieved complexity.  Currently using it's own "OSGi-like" module approach, using Spring.
    2. Sakai went back and forth on OSGi, now moving toward it.
    3. AaronZ (sakai/dspace2 committer) gave us an osgi primer
    4. DaveF pulling together resources for Eddie+AaronZ to go to osgi conference and experiment with OSGi-fying Fedora
  6. FedoraFS (Rebecca Koeser@Emory's repo challenge entry):
    1. Allows use of Fedora via standard filesystem interface (video here)
    2. ChrisW talking w/Rebecca this week: re: potential "contrib" project
  7. Wider developer participation:
    1. Sakai experiences:
      1. When voting on issues, people tend to choose the big, difficult items.
      2. Having a "contrib" area has been very successful
    2. Sakai suggestions:
      1. Put out a list of things to do; people will help (even if not right away)
      2. Get people helping in non-coding ways (docs, managing users)
      3. Make sure people and institutions get proper credit for their contribs
  8. Desire for dev-focused get-together
  9. Somebody did a Fedora Ubuntu/Debian installer (poster)
  10. Fedora integration with JPEG 2000 (http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/djatoka/index.php?title=Fedora_Integration)
  11. Bill Parod interested in being able to allow only certain API-A methods to be accessed by unauthenticated users
