Minutes

Establish previous minor release support policy

  • Came out of Committer team, should we back port to previous releases.
  • No Past policy for Fedora 3.
  • Depend on Fedora 4 stability advocates back ports. Will slow releases did it for major reasons.
  • Light adoption of fedora 4 so far.
  • Security issue maybe different
  • How much do we want to back port? Costs resources
  • Consensus: Security releases for X number of minor releases
  • Action: Offline discussion on how many versions to support.

Fedora 4 migration survey results

  • Everyone should have received a copy of the results but if not contact David
  • 54 respondents
  • XML ingest + audit top 2 Fedora 3 requests.
  • Respondents Want documentation and migration tools both high on the TODO list
  • Also case studies and training.
  • Frontends a people moving from Custom to Hydra post migration. Custom front ends going down.
  • Most people in the 100k number of objects. 3/4 less than 10TB
  • Migration timescales varied
  • 1/2 not duraspace members
  • Intending to send summary to community. Anyone opposed : no opposition
  • Any trends in misconceptions or impractical assumptions with migration? No trends a few misunderstandings but generally good understanding of Fedora 4. Lots of requests for documentation and case studies.

Audit service planning and development

  • Meeting this Friday (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/islandora/UE2TK781nmc)
  • Cost: 2 sprints from 3 developers
  • Seeking commitments 1 for sure
  • March 23rd sprint starts
  • Need 1 or 2 more developers for this sprint.
  • First feature trying to design this year.
  • Would be good to get more requirements before planning meeting on Friday.
  • Are there developers available for fedora 3 features? 4 features not in Fedora 4 (coloured in green in the Questionnaire summary), developers seem interested but difficult to get commitment. Audit service supported by one institution offering a developer which is why its going forward.
  • For LDP paging and Web Access Control waiting for the standards to be stable.

Designing a data migration tool  

  • Mike Durbin working on designing and building a tool. Moving fedora 3 to Fedora 4 migration. Created page on wiki for people to enter their Hydra, Islandora and Custom models.
  • code4lib discussions: Hydra put a large amount of work in designing objects taking advantage of the linked data platform. Islandora community also reviewed and validated Hydra models. Will be a Unified approach to modelling data, custom installations will probably follow suit. Common language for talking across comunities.
  • Adam from Penn State already done some development for Hydra migration. Mike from UVA put together some tools for upgrading from Fedora 3 to 4, Ben from Columbia also thinking about this. Important that we involve community in discussion.
  • Upgration pilots waiting on this tooling.
  • Action: Andrew asks that we ask our technical people to review the approach specified in Fedora 3 to 4 wiki. Also look at the Java project and try it out.
  • Mike focusing on a straight Fedora migration rather than Hydra or Islandora based migration.
  • Using the Thursday technical call to discuss this. Wales and York happy to be part of the discussion. Ben from Columbia looking at this in March.

 

DuraSpace Summit responsibilities

  • Have  ideas for breakout groups, chair of steering group will provide updates for the projects.

  • Day 2: planning 3 x 45 minutes session in the morning for project breakouts, discuss top 3 issues. After lunch general session and David (Product Manager) summaries what was discussed.
    • Topic 1: Sustainability
    • Topic 2: Positioning Fedora future
    • Topic 3: Pilot Test and Implementation
    • Topic 4: What do you need the digital repository to do in the next 3 years
  • Group number 1 & 2 to keep to 3. Will send out details closer to the time. Robin to approve order with steering

Actions

  • Offline discussion on how many Fedora 4 versions to support and back port security fixes to.
