Minutes

Membership Update.

• New members, new funding. 
• David asks that each of us contact one prospect. He is happy to provide wording/boilerplate on request.
• Particularly looking to attract members from the museusms, government and European user communities.

DGI Announcement re Fedora3 Plans

• Considerable discussion on this and much speculation.
• Clear that Islandora Foundation speaks for Islandora, though DGI is a major player.  
• DGI looking for commercial solution as a vendor, perhaps modifying Fedora3 or building a completely new backend. Although they seem to be trying to address what Fedora 4 is delivering. Perhaps looking for higher performance.
• DGI not saying they don't support Fedora 4. But press release expected soon to clarify their position.  
• Melissa at Islandora Foundation seems willing to make a strong statement in support of Fedora and CLAW. Islandora Foundation has a new technical lead commencing in August.
• Opportunity for us to express support for Islandora Foundation.  .
• Action - Debra to coordinate with Declan and Robin for a subgroup of Leadership Group to meet with DGI to clarify DGI's direction re Fedora, and perhaps an opportunity for us to apply some pressure.
• Important that we support Islandora Foundation and perhaps help them clarify their message re Fedora.

Steering Group Nominations

• 3 positions open (rotating a third of the group) - only members of Leadership group can nominate or be nominated.  Open until 8th July - extended a week
• Members can nominate self or another member of Leadership group. David will then seek statements from nominees.
• Then election.
• Should be wrapped up by end of month.

Import/Export feature sprint

• Fedora import/export sprint coming up- basic requirements being collected.
• We're all encouraged to join the two week sprint later this year.   
• Also if we have requirements please add notes to requirements
• Andrew to send message after 6th July, after clarification with Penn State re Hydra import/export and Fedora import/export.

Alignment of Web Access Controls between Fedora 4 and Hydra

• Theoretically we are aligned - but actively in process of verifying this.
• Small barriers with having Hydra verify updates to Fedora.
• Tighter collaboration between the two communities.

Other

Next Hackathon will be after next significant release of Fedora 4. Will concentrate on performance and scalability.
