Minutes

Welcome, new leaders!

DuraSpace Summit Fedora Topics

  • Three 45-minute sessions.  Maybe one would be with new CEO(?)
  • Support for new Fedora Repository use cases in next 3 years
  • Sustainability could include a number of things:  developer resources, memberships, funding alternatives, migrations(?)
  • How Fedora relates to other enterprise systems
  • Poster session could be helpful letting people know how people are using Fedora

Migration Pilots

  • We call it an "Upgration"!
  • It is hoped that pilots will represent multiple community segments (e.g., Hydra, Islandora, roll-your-own), features, and use cases.  Anyone with a Fedora 3.0
  • Five pilots would be a good minimum - We need commitments for pilots as early as possible!
  • UNSW in Australia and York in Canada have already made commitments
  • Duke and U Mich considering this now. 
  • UNC will put up a Curator's Workbench on Fedora 4 near-term (new app)

Migration Working Group interest:  

  • Declan, Susan, Glen
  • Susan 
  • Glen

Fedora 4.1 Feature Priorities

  • Asynchronous Storage - Indiana will be helping with this as part of their HydraDAM2 requirements
  • Audit service is high priority for 4.x
  • LDP paging is candidate
  • Web Access Control is W3C spec for web authorization
  • API Partitioning moves Fedora away from custom code and towards robust standard API
  • We want to get consensus on first features to work on and then recruit for sprints
  • We can use resources for maintenance sprints (bug squashing), feature sprints (working on new priority features), migration pilots and tooling.  All hands are welcome!
  • Please comment on features and priorities:  Leadership mailing list is a good place for discussion

OR 2015 Proposals

  • David proposing some panel discussions for Fedora
  • Susan:  UNSW staff proposing a poster on research data storage work
  • Andrew:  Will be a Fedora Technical Session
  • Jim:  Considering poster for Hydra-Fedora3 presentation, but would like to talk about Fedora 1 migration - Migration panel could be a good idea
  • Mike:  Proposing on Hydra work, upgrade plans, Fedora-Sakai LTI integration
  • Jon: HydramDAM2 proposal will highlight Fedora 4

Fedora4 / VIVO integration project

  • Has come up several times in past
  • Integration work would involve linked data
  • Seems like low-hanging fruit
  • Columbia exploring this but not ready for commitment yet
  • Let David know if you are interested in joining any of this work or starting your own project

Actions

  • Send out message to Leaders re: Migration Working Group (David Wilcox)
  • Send out message to Leaders re: feature priorities with Jan. 30 deadline for feedback (David Wilcox)

  1. regarding OR2015: as I mentioned in the last Tech Meeting, I would be glad to contribute to a panel for green field use cases for Fedora. I could focus on automation and content modeling.
