- Fedora Leaders Meeting at CNI
- see agenda at 2015-12-16 - CNI Fedora Leadership Group Meeting
- Location: Need one. David will ask CNI if we can use a room in hotel on Weds.
- Telepresence. Need some to allow non-CNI attendees to participate.
- Any other items for the agenda?
- Discuss: How is your F4 implementation going? Issues, happy surprises?
- should there be a BOF at community events? DLF, CNI, etc. This could be a chance to generate discussion informally, find new users, etc.
- should we do a survey of the Fedora Community to see who is using it?
- See Hydra's annual sufia poll, e.g.
- See also the Nov 2014 poll of Hydra community on Fedora 4 plans
- See also the Fedora Migration poll from winter of 2015; update and resend?
- Draft Agenda for CNI Pre-Session
- need to make clear it's technically focused
- need to make clear that you don't need to be a practicing expert with mature systems in place to participate (otherwise no one would qualify to be there)
- Maurice, Karen, Steve & Tom all volunteer to work as subcommittee and hammer out
- program
- logistics of invite
- will circulate revised draft of call to Leaders when done.
- Fedora Panel at Museums on the Web 2016
- proposals due tomorrow
- conference is in Los Angeles, 6-9 April 2016
- Stefano riding herd on this; seeking collaborators. Write him!
- Adding institutional alternates to the Fedora-Leaders list?
- consensus that alternates should be on the email list
- consensus that alternates don't attend a meeting or call if the primary rep is there
- primary rep should cross themselves off the attendees list if they can't make
- David will create an authoritative list of primary and alternate reps from institutions and list on
- Jonathan will write up this policy and distribute to Leaders; this doesn't seem controversial (and is somewhat already in practice) but if anyone has concerns that didn't surface on call, they can raise them on list.
- Leader participation: Project Reps and/or Ambassadors?
- Project Reps. Should Fedora take Leaders from other projects (like the Hydra-in-a-Box, or ModeShape, e.g.) if they are willing to provide platinum-level contributions? Discussion: seems to make sense.
- Ambassadors? Should Fedora let ex officio Leaders participate in the group as non-voters, if they have been good individual contributors in the past but their institutional circumstances change? Discussion: seems to make sense. Similar to what's happening already with Thorny et al. on Steering
- Both proposals introduced; call for comments via email, and then come to vote next Leaders meeting.
- SHIELD Project concept from UMich & IU
- CIC subgroup looking to spin up data management services with multitenant Fedora
- See email from Maurice York
- comment in email or in the doc
- nice potential extension of Fedora testing suite
