Review of New Issues

In JIRA:

To-be-entered:

  • Permgen grows when Fedora is repeatedly deployed/undeployed w/o restarting Tomcat (GrahamT)
  • Revisiting "managed external" datastreams (RonJ, orig proposed by MatthiasR)
  • DS title as content-disposition filename when GETting datastreams from Fedora (MattZ)
  • Connection pooling via c3p0 -- dbcp out of date (AaronZ)
  • Cardinality support for DS-COMPOSITE-MODEL (RichardG)
  • Validation on ingest (AndrewW)
  • Support for GET/PUT/POST on disseminators (MatthiasR)
  • Fedora as WAR without need to run installer (Asger, TimD, etc)

Debrief of OR09

What did we hear

  1. Request for blogging of DuraCloud activities
  2. Request for Fedora transparency
    1. Interest in Special Topics meetings
  3. Request for details of FedoraRepository/DSpace architectural roadmap
    1. Want latest Roadmap on website/wiki (TimD discussion: "Roadmap" theme as Jira field, and auto-generate parts of roadmap from Jira?)
  4. Maven2:
    1. Lots of positive responses
    2. MarkD wants Fedora POM for DSpace-on-Fedora builds
  5. OSGi:
    1. DSpace considered OSGi early on, but steered away from it in part due to complexity.  Currently using it's own "OSGi-like" module approach, using Spring.
    2. Sakai went back and forth on OSGi, now moving toward it.
    3. AaronZ (sakai/dspace2 committer) gave us an osgi primer
    4. DaveF pulling together resources for Eddie+AaronZ to go to osgi conference and experiment with OSGi-fying Fedora
  6. FedoraFS (Rebecca Koeser@Emory's repo challenge entry):
    1. Allows use of Fedora via standard filesystem interface (video here)
    2. ChrisW talking w/Rebecca this week: re: potential "contrib" project
  7. Wider developer participation:
    1. Sakai experiences:
      1. When voting on issues, people tend to choose the big, difficult items.
      2. Having a "contrib" area has been very successful
    2. Sakai suggestions:
      1. Put out a list of things to do; people will help (even if not right away)
      2. Get people helping in non-coding ways (docs, managing users)
      3. Make sure people and institutions get proper credit for their contribs
  8. Desire for dev-focused get-together
  9. Somebody did a Fedora Ubuntu/Debian installer (poster)

Potential actions

  1. Draft release of 3.3 feature list
  2. Promote feature "interest groups"
    1. These groups would ideally be self-forming
    2. May need initial help from core-developers to establish precedence
    3. Would have wiki area for design, units-of-work, status, etc...
      1. maven2 ?
      2. fedora as self-contained, deployable war ?
      3. OSGi ?
      4. Web Admin additions ?
      5. Enhanced Content Model ?
      6. Workflow ?
      7. Security redesign ?
      8. ...
  3. New development infrastructure
    1. OSUOSL for hosting svn, etc...
    2. Forum
    3. Mailing lists
  4. Establish "contrib" area of svn
    1. Plan towards "garage sale"
    2. Encourage community to bring customizations out of wood-work
  5. Hack-a-thon
  6. ...
