Minutes

  • Fedora 3.8.0
    • Last Fedora 3.x release
    • Testing is ongoing
    • A couple small issues but nothing that will significantly delay the release
      • Oracle/Windows issues
    • Ed: How does Fedora 3.8.0 work with Hydra/Islandora?
      • Should be fully compatible
      • Esme will follow up with Scott
      • Part of the testing includes tests against Hydra/Islandora
  • Fedora 4.0 beta 2
  • Java client API
    • Core Java client API design/implementation done last sprint
      • Creating/retrieving objects, etc.
    • Nearly at a point where anyone could implement a small service
    • Betsy: Question about LDP clients
      • None were good fits
      • Esme: Most clients listed in W3C inventory were client/server combos that worked with each other
      • Servers followed some parts of LDP but also added on
      • Clients were tightly coupled with servers and their features
      • We are in a similar position - we will also have a server/client that follows the LDP spec but also includes features unique to Fedora 4
      • Still interested in finding a good generic client that supports more than one server
  • Stefano: ModeShape 4.0-alpha
    • Why switch to alpha?
    • Lots of bugs around performance and file federation, targeted to be fixed in next beta
    • Wanted to get the move to ModeShape4-alpha out of the way so we can quickly move to ModeShape4-beta
    • The ModeShape beta will be released in time for the Fedora 4.0 production release later this year
    • ModeShape working on issue of having many children under a single node
      • Currently we deal with this using the hierarchy mapping, which would no longer be necessary
