1. Preservation statement (David)
- Ready to distribute to the community pending any final comments
- David: Short 2-pager explaining what Fedora provides for digital preservation; followup document will contain more detail. Suggest adding to website; send out to mailing list for further community feedback.
- Susan: Suggest adding definition of fixity
- ACTION: Susan will add footnote
- Dan: Not clear why fixity is listed as both a current feature and upcoming feature
- David: Future refers to potential enhancements related to fixity - may want to clarify language
- David: Next steps for getting it out?
- Andrew: Send out email that includes context about how/why this document was created
- Who should send? Leadership Group chair (Declan)
- ACTION: David will follow up with Declan
- Stefano: Where should it go on the website?
- David suggests under Features heading, but may need spot to consolidate documents like this (under Resources?)
2. Semantic versioning and release schedule (Andrew)
- Moving to semantic versioning and managing the change
- Andrew: two partsTwo parts to this issue:
- Move to strict semantic versioning - seems to be consensus around this
- Main reason we have not moved is "Fedora 4" branding, so need to be careful about this change
- Decide on frequency and nature of releases
- Limit number of major releases (i.e. releases that change API in a way that's not backward compatible or require significant backend upgrades)
- Consensus seems to be no more than one major release per year (and only when necessary, so could be less than once per year)
- Move to strict semantic versioning - seems to be consensus around this
- Julie: Don't let PR issues stop us from moving forward with semantic versioning
- Jonathan: Need to move away from the Fedora 4 brand
- Find examples of other products that have undergone similar transitions
- Stefano: Chrome, Firefox?
- Are there other open source examples?
- Need to keep in mind people who only follow Fedora casually (i.e. not on mailing lists)
- Andrew: Suggest trying to finish up API spec this calendar year then spend following 6 months (first half 2017) to align Fedora implementation with API spec -> Fedora 5.0
- Start planning messaging strategy in future calls or meeting at CNI
