Community-driven Activity
New Committers
We are pleased to welcome to new people to the Fedora committer group:
- Yinlin Chen, Virginia Tech
- Peter Eichman, University of Maryland
Fedora is developed collectively by a community of contributors and committers. All interested community members are encouraged to contribute to the project. Contributors who demonstrate sustained engagement with the project through quality participation in meetings, mailing lists, documentation and code updates can be nominated by existing committers to also become a committer. Yinlin and Peter have both demonstrated this kind of sustained engagement, and we are thrilled to have them on the team!
Alignment with API Specification
As part of the completion of the Fedora API specification, the current implementation will need to be brought into alignment with the documented specification. To this end, we are scheduling two code sprints to complete the alignment work. There will be two sprints, of two weeks each:The first sprint, which ran from March 5 to March 16, has been completed. We made excellent headway on this sprint toward our ultimate goal of full API alignment. We benefited from the full-time commitment of seven contributors as well as significant support from two other committers representing six institutions:
- Andrew Woods, DuraSpace
- Ben Pennell, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
- Danny Bernstein, DuraSpace
- Joe Harrington, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
- Longshou Situ, University of California, San Diego
- Randall Floyd, Indiana University
- Yinlin Chen, Virginia Tech
In the course of the ten working days we closed 27 tickets which included major new functionality in the Memento implementation. A handful of other tickets are slated for completion during the inter-sprint hiatus.
We have nine contributors who have signed up for the next sprint which starts April 16th and runs through the 27th:
- Andrew Woods, DuraSpace
- Bethany Seeger, Amherst College
- Danny Bernstein, DuraSpace
- Jared Whiklo, University of Manitoba
- Longshou Situ, University of California, San Diego
- Mohamed Abdul Rasheed, University of Maryland
- Peter Eichman, University of Maryland
- Randall Floyd, Indiana University
- Yinlin Chen, Virginia Tech
- Weeks of March 5 and 12
- Weeks of April 16 and 23
This is an extremely important milestone for the Fedora project. If you are interested and available to participate in either or both of these sprintsthe next sprint, please add your name to the sprint planning page.
