Minutes

Declan taking notes - please verify attendance
New and returning folks welcomed
Thought on onboarding Fedora leaders
- Knowing what to expect on calls
- We have a Slack channel
- Susan will draft an onboarding draft checklist
  - Aaron will add more about what's expected of us
- Also would be good to refresh the Fedora website (not just wiki) with Leadership roles clarifications
- Stefano would like to add a role to coordinate with the Hydra and Islandora communities
  - Will help a lot with the finalization of the API specs
  - Fedora Adopers Guide is a parallel effort that can be promoted an improved by this coordination
- Nick - It would be good to have Leadership representation on the Tech Calls
  - Maybe we should have committers on this call?
  - Updates from commiters to Leadership would be good
  - Susan - need to be clear with the goals and comms flow
- Revisit governance process to get tech representation via the voting mechanism
Fedora Meeting at CNI
- Long convo about code of conduct
- Migration issues - having something formal to support low-hanging fruit type sites to prove that it's possible
- Future looking issues were brought up, but there wasn't a lot of time for them given the tactical issues
  - Knowledge infrastructure
  - Becoming more aligned with other projects (VIVO, Fedora, Hydra, Islandora, DSpace)
  - More of this on these calls would be good
- Support of specific versions
  - Targeting for migration
- The concept of a centralized testing infra to test releases
  - Targeting production scale testing
  - DuraSpace managed, AWS hosted?
- Hiring developers got a lot of support
  - Always a balance between community ownership and centralize control
  - Focus on current tasks
  - Neil - as opposed to buying devs from currently attached institutions?
    - Not a lot of devs available
    - Nick - buying DuraSpace devs has worked really well for Hybox, Fedora (many members, Import/Export), Chrono
Ginny asks that we look at the survey results for what/how to share
- Add comments, how to make it most effective
