Debrief of OR09
What did we hear
- Request for blogging of DuraCloud activities
- Request for Fedora transparency
- Interest in Special Topics meetings
- Request for details of FedoraRepository/DSpace architectural roadmap
- Want latest Roadmap on website/wiki (TimD discussion: "Roadmap" theme as Jira field, and auto-generate parts of roadmap from Jira?)
- Maven2:
- Lots of positive responses
- MarkD wants Fedora POM for DSpace-on-Fedora builds
- OSGi:
- DSpace considered OSGi early on, but steered away from it in part due to complexity. Currently using it's own "OSGi-like" module approach, using Spring.
- Sakai went back and forth on OSGi, now moving toward it.
- AaronZ (sakai/dspace2 committer) gave us an osgi primer
- DaveF pulling together resources for Eddie+AaronZ to go to osgi conference and experiment with OSGi-fying Fedora
- FedoraFS (Rebecca Koeser@Emory's repo challenge entry):
- Allows use of Fedora via standard filesystem interface (video here)
- ChrisW talking w/Rebecca this week: re: potential "contrib" project
Potential actions
- Draft release of 3.3 feature list
- Promote feature "interest groups"
- These groups would ideally be self-forming
- May need initial help from core-developers to establish precedence
- Would have wiki area for design, units-of-work, status, etc...
- maven2 ?
- fedora as self-contained, deployable war ?
- OSGi ?
- Web Admin additions ?
- Enhanced Content Model ?
- Workflow ?
- Security redesign ?
- ...
- New development infrastructure
- OSUOSL for hosting svn, etc...
- Forum
- Mailing lists
- Establish "contrib" area of svn
- Plan towards "garage sale"
- Encourage community to bring customizations out of wood-work
- Hack-a-thon
- ...
