F2F Agenda

• Two new agenda items proposed: standing v. interest/working groups and f2f schedule planning for 2015.  Robin has updated agenda.

4.0 Panel at CNI

• David facilitates. Declan, Stefano, Tom are panelists.

1. 1. Overview of 4
   2. Beta reports from each panelist
   3. Q and A

• Would be nice to have good representation from leaders.

4.1 Beta Pilots

• Seeking institutions for first half of 2015
• Focus on migration from 3->4
• Good outcomes would include: tools, documentation, and best practices; issues uncovered to plow back into 4
• Jon Dunn references potential for NEH funded Hydradam.  Would start in Jan.  Would need support from Fedora 4 developer team.

Jan-June Planning

• Focus on 6 month release to 4.1
• Would be nice to have periodic (monthly) point releases: e.g. 4.0.1
• Three areas of focus
  • Use migration from 3->4 to focus development.
  • Use 4.0 feedback to identify/resolve issues
  • Build and the develop around a prioritized list of high priority features (a short list from earlier planning)
• Discussion of desirability to encourage and monitor efforts to migrate Hydra and Islandora to 4.0.x.  Expectation that this work would focus mostly on those projects, not Fedora 4 per se. However, issues uncovered as part of these migrations can also drive Jan-June development work.

Actions

• Update F2F agenda to reflect new items, discussion.  Robin Lindley Ruggaber
