  • The vote on the design plan had been circulated, and would close on Wednesday Tuesday, May 8th7th.
  • The focus of attention in this discussion was on next steps (assuming that the design plan is accepted).
  • The work to implement the Fedora 6.0 design plan will need resourcing, and input is welcome on the options to explore.  Standard approaches are:
    • Community sprints - following the pattern used by recent developments
    • Partnership with vendors - focusing on how Fedora can be a product they can market
    • Community contributions - specific one-time requests for funds to support a specific initiative (some of which have already been received for Fedora 6.0)
      • A variation on this could be a temporary step-up in membership level.
  • There is keen interest in broader stakeholder buy-in - getting the community together to support the shift and bringing everyone with it.  This would be important for Fedora 6.0 and its effort to help move sites from Fedora 3.  Getting stakeholders involved throughout the process will help with understanding of the work.
    • This could involve opening up the tech calls to non-committers and broaden the conversation., or getting others involved in the broader calls.
    • It would be good to get the tech leads for Samvera (Hyrax) and Islandora involved as part of this (noting that there is some connection already).
  • Assuming regular suspects for the community sprints, it would be great to expand this pool of contributions.
  • Noting that some additional funding has been made available already, how should this be used?
    • Work with vendors, those with a vested interest in the work?
    • Use of contractors, without a vested interest, with a focus on professional inout for specific tasks (e.g., performance testing).
  • OCFL aspects of Fedora 6.0 may be addressed separately through engaged partners in that initiative (e..g, Oxford, Johns Hopkins).
  • Tim made a call for more involvement in calls of middle managers, as it can be a mixture of developers and senior managers, leaving a gap in implementation planning/discussion.
  • Initial work in the community, e.g., the sanity-checking implementations of the Fedora API and OCFL at Cornell, will provide useful input to the work overall.
  • (Este) An RFP approach might be useful as a way of brining together requirements.
  • (Dustin) Linking the work to the ability to migrate from Fedora 3 will be helpful in generating interest and participation.
  • What input/impact will the merger with Lyrasis have?  Some internal funding options are being explored.
  • David and Andrew will compile an initial plan for proceeding.
