Minutes
Announcements
- David was at Samvera connect last week, did workshop with 5.0 version from a few weeks ago
- went through new memento API
- increasing interest in OCFL
- Fedora camp in Berlin in the next few months
- 8 new Fedora memberships, primarily around Europe.
- David will be giving Semantic web workshop soon, including info about CLAW
- There is interest in decentralized web in academic contexts, although it is focused more specifically on libraries
- Well attended by VEVO people
- jcreel mentions Texas A&M Walking Fedora 4 into spotlight using IIIF
- They are using api-x extensions from amherst, so they may be able to test with fcrepo5 in the not too distant future
- Generate PCDM from their graph
- Wondering about the best approach doing releases/versioning of API-X extensions
- May make sense to put some into fcrepo-extensions repo
- Having a registry of API-X solutions would be helpful too.
- They are using api-x extensions from amherst, so they may be able to test with fcrepo5 in the not too distant future
Road to Release
- Authn/Authz work for CTS to allow for pluggable authentication, with default authentication
- https://github.com/fcrepo/Fedora-API-Test-Suite/pull/260
- Aaron Coburn suggested that requiring users to write an authenticator in java was a high bar
- Will add option for specifying header for admin and permissionless users.
- Added "root-controller-user-webid" and "permissionless-user-webid", plus passwords
- if provided without a provided authenticator, get basic auth
- have to add user agent base URI in front of the usernames
- Documentation of server managed triples: What are the Server Managed Triples
- Older ticket related to using direct/indirect containers to add triples regardless of ACLS
- A number of CTS tickets/issues remaining
- https://github.com/fcrepo/Fedora-API-Test-Suite/issues
- Some of these don't need to be addressed prior to release candidate
- Documentation is fairly close to complete, may be sufficient for the release candidate
- Should we do a full set of testing prior to release or after?
- we don't have the vagrant project updated yet, so we wouldn't be able to run some components of the release testing yet
- So testing would involve downloading and testing, and possibly with the one click
- Early November, Peter will be looking at their camel infrastructure and how they will run camel toolbox with 5.0
- Will involve putting 5.0 into their local web application
- May not be until post release (January) before some of the environment tools start getting updated, such as camel toolbox, import-export, etc.
- Attempt to make decision about release candidate next week.
- Jetty 9.4 would help us be able to use the official maven-jetty-console release rather than our fork in fcrepo4-labs
- maven-jetty-console released an update from our PR, so they are on a sufficiently up to date to deal with Java 9 files
- check in to see if anyone has time to work on it.
- if not, then may move the project into fcrepo4 instead of labs
