1. Announcements
   1. Arran has organized Fedora coverage at several conferences. Currently on the fence about Access. iPres will be covered, though possibly with local support.
   2. Arran has been working with others to identify technical priorities/issues
      1. Jared raised the issue of S3 performance because of OCFL; one institution reported that some Camel toolbox changes were needed to allow operation at scale (though using an older Camel toolbox)
      2. Jared also raised the issue of containerization (e.g. running F6 in Kubernetes)
      3. Possible approach: have special/themed tech meetings to discuss specific high-interest topics (there seems to be some possible buy-in for this approach from "non-regulars")
   3. Arran shared a draft of the migration toolkit from the grant late in June to Fedora-related lists. This includes use cases, instructions, links to tools for migrating, etc. Asked for community feedback; open for comment until end of July, at which point feedback will be incorporated and it will be finalized for distribution (moved from Google Doc to PDF and/or wiki page(s)). Please review if you have not already!
      1. Draft Migration Toolkit
2. New tickets: none this week
3. Updates on backlog tickets:
   1. Mike volunteered to look at FCREPO-3830 (previously discussed, but needed a volunteer to work on)
   2. FCREPO-3829 refers to removal of an unsupported feature (which has never been used in examples/training, so should be safe to remove). This has been assigned to Jon Roby, who was looking for relatively easy tickets to start with
   3. Jon Roby is also planning to work on FCREPO-3827
4. In review tickets:
   1. Add/resume was tested/approved by Calvin on June 2, so FCREPO-3813 should be ready for Danny's code review (and hopefully merge)
   2. FCREPO-3655 is in a bit of a confusing state because of PRs #1992 and #1998. The #1995 PR needs to be taken care of (along with a follow-up PR from Jared) to finish cleaning up the accidental merge of #1992, and then everything will be up to date and the ticket can be closed. Jared will take care of all of this work.
5. Other topics:
   1. There are some fcrepo and Camel Toolbox dependabot PRs that need to be reviewed/merged. Jared will take a look.
   2. Danny asked about the status of OCFL-Java. Did not come up in strategic planning meeting; it's a separate conversation on the side with the editors. A decision needs to be made about where the OCFL-Java will live. Editors have created a process for when implementations need managers; if it goes to live at the OCFL community, there are certain rules that need to be followed. Current users of the implementation will be having a conversation; outreach has been made to all known users. The discussion will focus on shared responsibility and future stewardship needs (though not yet at the point of formal governance); goal is to reach some consensus on resources/next steps.
6. Discuss migration
   1. James is working to migrate from Fedora 3 with a custom PHP/Zend Framework front-end. Demian offered to discuss Villanova's VuFind-based solution.
   2. There was discussion of various indexing options – LDPath, the Camel Toolbox Solr indexer, the Camel Toolbox HTTP endpoint, etc. Demian shared a link to his example Node.js application which includes an endpoint to receive Camel Toolbox HTTP messages (https://github.com/FalveyLibraryTechnology/VuDLPrepJS/blob/dev/api/src/routes/messenger.ts).
   3. Jared shared messaging documentation: Event Messaging – Demian pointed out that this should be updated to include Purge and Follow eventTypes.
