None Mentioned

Minutes

• Interest in F2F Sprint for a week at Institution (who volunteers) finalizing the API specification, technology compatibility kit, and move Fedora toward servicing specification, and bring alternate implementations into closer collaboration.  Sprint around standardization around current & emerging implementations. 
  • • Some concerns that we need people for an editorial board or a technical community meeting, not a sprint.
      • Migration path is more of a concern than API development for many institutions
      • Interested and desire a solid spec for API, but a solid core implementation is a higher priority for most on the call 
      • Stability in current implementations are more important than an API spec - even though many consider the API spec as important and valuable
    • What resources do we need for this sprint? 
      • Concrete development work around 2, 3, & 4
    • This sprint should help define THIS IS WHAT FEDORA IS
  • Have we gotten response from the community around the Digital Preservation discussion? 
    • Feedback given before we begin work on 2, 3, & 4
  • Two different things we think we need
    • Representatives who are vested in Fedora working within architecture
    • Representatives/committers and others people who are sprinting against the API
  • The group agrees that API work is important, but core stabilization is the most important for local priorities
    • Some feel the API specification is primary importance which will help to influence the work done on the core
  • Getting the spec to a "degree of completeness" and making an announcement to the community to gather feedback about whether needs are being met for needs from Fedora. 
  • Interest from Northwestern, UCSD, and UVA to participate in the API Sprint - Andrew & David will reach out to the community and see if we can gain more support. 
• Fedora Project Goals
  • David will send out for final feedback - watch your email for deadline for feedback
• CNI/DuraSpace Summit
  • DuraSpace Summit currently scheduled for April 5th with a possible reception on evening of April 4th.  
  • Fedora Meeting would be April 6th - Desire to have a Strategic Planning day around Fedora
    • General consensus is that this is a good date and a good idea
  • Session Proposals - let's talk offline - David will post something on the list
    • Import/Export Panel with Andrew & Karen Estlund
    • Session talking about testing progression of Fedora 4, problems and things that have changed
• Fedora Omeka S connector
  • Anyone interested in offering Fedora 4 harvesting for testing? 
    • UCSD & IU are interested in potentially opening something up
    • UVA may have written something connecting Fedora 3 to "old" Omeka
    • Interest, but some schools aren't using Fedora 4 yet - keep us posted.
