Minutes

1. Putting together pre-meeting report

1. 1. Product Technology (David) - ready
   2. Product Position (Robin & Rosalyn) - ready
   3. Communication, Outreach, and Marketing (Dustin) - content coming soon
   4. Community (Este) - per Karen - can't do a lot of community work until the community is established, David will check with Este on any other updates
   5. Governance and Business Model (Jennifer) - updates coming soon
   6. David will finalize on Dec 3 or 4 and send out
   7. Andrew will finalize the technology update
   8. Rosalyn was asked to write something similar for a Samvera roadmap white paper; will copy some of the pre-meeting report language; uncertain of the objectives of the white paper; will run it by David; need some usage/implementation statistics from David
2. Technical update
1. Fedora 5.0.0-RC2 - Danny - RC1 was out for over a week, 5 or 6 issues have been addressed, and RC2 was released yesterday. 5.0.0 release scheduled for Dec 10, barring any major issues; the Fedora API Specification Candidate Recommendation 2 will be released within a day or two; Fedora 5.0.0 does not fully align, complies with almost all of specification, likely resolved in 5.1.  The missing items are not know to be used by anyone currently.
3. New Interoperability with Interfolio?
1. Robin talked with Erin Maher?? from Interfolio about possible repository integrations; Rosalyn and Tim discussed the highly decentralized faculty profiling/reporting at their institutions.  Neither can influence the platform selection but will try to inject repository integration into the conversation and can highlight Interfolio's interest in cooperating on integration development.  Interfolio current only has DSpace integrations and expressed to Interfolio an interest in developing a Fedora integration. Action: possible survey on community use of profiling/reporting systems
2. Robin - proposed adding Interoperability to the Roadmap? Report? Andrew - what is the level of interest in making this a priority?  Discussion of the nature of API and standardization for the integration. Not necessarily the new Fedora API. Tools for standard protocol which works across applications not currently available.
3. Action: Rosalyn and Robin roll this into the Ecosystem part of Product Position
4. 2019 Conferences and Events
   1. Are there any conferences or events on or off the list which should be highlighted given recent developments in Fedora 5 and the API Specification.  What about Educause? There seems to be good opportunity for promoting Fedora in the higher-ed use case. Discussion of a troubling trend in CNI, increasingly focused towards scholarly communication and less of the technical conversation, so maybe more of us should be going to Educause.   David will add Educause.

   2. Feedback from Fedora/Samvera Camp Berlin - had a successful and productive joint Samvera/Fedora camp with strong attendance; takeaways: 1) several archives in attendance and wanted to know what things look like on disk (a la OCFL) and want to know more when transparent persistence is available 2) ingest performance for loading lots of content with unqualified good performance is a high priority.  Note that Fedora 5 lays the groundwork for ModeShape replacement to target the performance issues. Membership growth from this geographic/language area has grown already with continued growth expected. Continuing with one Fedora camp and one Fedora/Samvera combined camp per year.

5. Samvera / Fedora collaboration opportunity

   1. Samvera community is making a "single ask"?? in moving the Hyrax roadmap forward. Seems to be a fair overlap between the Fedora and Samvera leadership. Discussion over the non-mention of Fedora in the Hyrax Roadmap.  ActiveFedora noted as the biggest problem which needs to be addressed; Valkyrie/Fedora IS mentioned in the resourcing discussion; what will it take to move Hyrax to Valkyrie. Should we put time and energy into the Valkyrie sprints?
