Minutes

Update from OR

• Aaron Birkland won in the ideas challenge with an idea relating to API-X
• David Wilcox was happy to see movement in the community towards the Linked Data and other key Fedora components

Closed Tickets

• thanks Bethany Seeger for taking care of the mime type ticket, are the other related tickets resolved? 
  
  • 2262 and 2516 should be resolved by the fix;  2420 which might have been resolved earlier
  • Andrew Woods will verify that these are indeed resolved

4.7.4 Release Planning

• Thanks Danny Bernstein for creating release candidate branch
• Andrew Woods would like to walk through cherry-picked commits and tickets to be clear on which tickets will be included
• The 4.7.4 release should be good to go (for testing to begin)
  
  • will need a release testing page
  • a release candidate
  • hope to get a message out next week to kick off testing

Deprecating RBACL and XACML modules

• given no champion has come forward for those modules, they should be marked as deprecated in 4.7.4 so that in the next major release they may cease to exist
• Andrew Woods will create a ticket and it must be completed before 4.7.4 release candidate

Import/Export release

• 2459 import or versions might not get done, can we make it not a blocker?
• 2518 is ready for review
• Michael Durbin will follow up about the status of 2459
• verification tool is close and should work
  • get import/export released ASAP
  • make sure verification tool still works against released code, then release it
  • ask for feedback on both

Fedora alignment to API sprint planning

• first final draft of the fedora spec was released
• forthcoming announcement about a sprint on Sept 11-22
  • generously coordinated and run by Johns Hopkins and Aaron Birkland
  • will require time beforehand to define tickets, priorities, etc.
• time allocated following that for a second sprint
• Los Alamos Memento folks are interested and might even provide resources to the versioning part of this effort

OAuth for Fedora?

• motivated by work with CoS OSF at Johns Hopkins 
• developing a "fedora provider" to allow content to be read and written into Fedora by OSF
• Daniel Lamb asked to clarify that fedora would consume OAauth tokens from big name sources like google and such
  • yes, basic auth is terrible authenticating through a well-used authentication provider using OAuth would make things cleaner and easier
• want to look at what Claw is doing (beyond basic auth)
  • Claw uses a Valve in tomcat (container-based, outside of fedora)
  • APIX wasn't an option then, but might make more sense for folks using alternate deployment (or implementation) of Fedora
• want to "put fedora on the internet" (a sadly unusual case these days)
• in the early stages, much investigation remains
