Minutes

• Islandora/F4 Update: Nick and Danny talk about Islandora/F4 project kickoff (meeting in late January to get community involved). Andrew wants to see if some sort of regular update could be provided (yes), perhaps as part of the weekly fedora tech meeting agenda item. 
• F4 Java Policy: Andrew wants to send off notice to the community about F4 JVM support policy if there's a sign-off from everyone on the call on the policy document. The response is that it makes sense to keep the support for Java 8 as a footnote. Doran will wordsmith the supported JVM version statement. Andrew will send out an e-mail to the community about the policy, and send a follow-up e-mail the community that we'll be moving to Java 8 around the Java 7 EOL expiry time (March or April 2015).
• Indexing namespace: Andrew would like to finalize the ontology discussion going on in relevant GitHub PR. There are two predicates (supported by the message consumer and camel indexing module), but they are under namespace indexing. The question is where there are no standard ontologies, how do we publish these ontologies? Also, is there an agreement on the solution (see PR discussion)? Adam and Aaron think there's a convergence to a solution, and that the differences are small. Andrew and Adam would like to publish Fedora interfaces and ontologies later this year. Should the ontologies be granular or large? Folks leaning towards granular for different reasons (collapsible, up-to-date).
• 3.x issues: original plan was that 3.8 would be the last 3.x release, but willing to support 3.8.1, if the community (outside of the organized sprint efforts) has strong interest and resources to create and test patches. For Doran the bugs (addressed in PRs) were significant, and they might likely affect other parties and thus have an interest.
