Agenda

Previous Action Items
- Governance Group - Review subgroups and organization before end of June. Jennifer Vinopal Rosalyn Metz
- Maurice York and Robin Lindley Ruggaber to ask their teams how things are currently structured on disk to compare against the OCFL spec.
- Robin - the structure on disc is the way the Samvera stack structures them (for Fedora 4). Did not receive a satisfactory answer for Fedora 3. Not sure if we will move that forward. But we expect to be able to migrate.
Minutes
Dustin - request for additional comments on the Training Questionnaire draft
Fedora budget for FY2020 (Erin) - FY2019 books are closed in advance of dissolving DuraSpace organization with clear documentation; draft Fedora budget in Lyrasis format nearing completion for review
MOU (David) - MOU is approved
Leaders election results (David) - new leaders are approved; thank you to Patrick Yott who is departing; note we have a number of new UK and European leaders with good outlook for international engagement; Erin would like to have discussion with new group on how to best achieve results; is there any fatigue with existing members who are returning? Jennifer V. - request information on the difference between the leadership and steering groups and challenges facing Fedora, if this is being put together for new leaders; Tim - 1) missing middle ground between developers and leaders; software development group leads? Maurice - perhaps additional sub-groups that aren't composed entirely of leaders; Andrew - could take place at the Committers meeting or at Committers/Leaders meeting; 2) propose an extra meeting for community building as a team building exercise 3) October - revisit everything in the context of the DuraSpace merger
Onboarding activities (David) - will add new leaders to the mailing list; will send doodle poll to reschedule this meeting to be more convenient for European participants; will create a sign-up sheet for buddy assignments
Fedora Membership Status and Strategy (David) - can we do more to build user groups for international engagement? Erin - need to ensure no further membership slides next year; Fedora 6 implementation is critical, many consider it to be Fedora's last chance; Karen - Fedora 6 is attempting to address some of the concerns of those memberships who have left; Erin - would be good to get additional exit interview information; David - who should take on the exit interview, David or leaders peer-to-peer? general agreement on the need for an exit interview, but discussion ensured on pros and cons of Lyrasis or peer-to-peer led exit interviews; Tim - after incident report is very important when local outages occur, to document for the community; objective analysis of what went wrong and how it is being addressed; David, Este - need more information out to the community (non-technical) about Fedora status and development progress
Fedora 6 development efforts (David) - Andrew - good momentum on setting up the development sprints; seeing some new and returning developers; Pilot process looking for more institutions who have a Fedora 3 instance they would like to upgrade to 6, even if they can't engage as full pilot partners. David - also looking for more partners from Islandora or Samvera communities; Danny - 5.x import/export round-tripping complete with some additional testing and review to be ready to use for Fedora 6
