Comment: Smaller institutions and how they will be supported in Fedora 6 - proposal notes that there are significant # of Fedora 3 installations that use Islandora. Islandora is already thinking about migrating issues. Notable in this big picture. Fedora 3 users with custom stacks are likely not the smaller institutions. Other institutions/projects are thinking about supporting OCFL. How do we keep users using fedora.
Comment: Even with migration tooling, migration from Fedora3 will take a lot of effort (rewriting client code communicating with fedora). We target particulary targeting smaller institutions who are still using Fedora3. So it woul be good if at least one of the institutions in next phase of this grant is such a smaller institution.
Strategic Subgroup Reports and Next Steps
Summary regarding state of technology (Fedora6 development) by Andrew Woods and Danny Bernstein :
- 3 sprints
- Fedora6 is able to write basic OCFL
- we depend on work happing between the sprints → so far
- groundwork is complete for most features
- modeshape is no longer used
- prerequisites for releasing Fedora6:
- needs to be tested
- be as bullet proof as possible
- development plan:
- clear path to finalising: 8 weeks of sprints (3 srints, each 2 weeks, at least 5 comitters)
- we could use help in documentation
Q to leadership group: Are there other requirements?
