Agenda

  1. Sign up for the upcoming Alignment Sprint
  2. Sprint planning
    1. Close the loop on Ben Pennell's exposition of options for implementing mementos of binaries and their descriptions
      1. Outstanding questions:
        1. Should we have LDP responses for mementos?
        2. Does a memento object act as a full LDP object, particularly with respect to headers?
        3. Are the edge things (such as headers) important for our users' workflows?  Should we handle these?
        4. Is versioning for items only currently in the repo, or all items that have ever been in repo?
        5. Should Fedora keep versions of items that have been deleted?
      2. feedback from leadership?
    2. WEB ACLs
      1. Peter Eichman's assessment of moving WebACLs from modeshape.

        1. Do we still want to support the current scheme for the sake of backward compatibility?

        1. Discuss Aaron Birkland's questions in the issue comments section
        2. Should we consider abandoning Section 5.4 Specify ACL on resource creation in light of this issue as well as  and ?
    3. Documentation mini sprint
      1. Who is interested?

  3. Shall we consider using Duraspace checkstyle rules?
    1. Checkstyle Analysis
    2. Repo
    3. There are three rules in the fedora checkstyle rules that are not in the Duraspace checkstyle rules: 
      1. requiring @author in javadoc
      2. "final" required for parameter variables
      3. "final" required for local variables
    4. There are 40-odd lines in fcrepo4  that would need to be corrected to roll this out.

Sprint Planning

Memento and Binaries

  1. Two topics
  2. Bethany/Este to respond to BenP's request to list
  3. For the normal case of creating a "current" memento, the pattern is relatively clear
    1. The trickiness is in restoring "historic" mementos
  4. What headers do we need to return on requests for Fedora Mementos?
    1. Suggestion: enumerate headers to be returned on GET/HEAD of binary and desc mementos
  5. What are the interaction use cases for interacting with creating and retrieving binary/desc mementos?
    1. import/export utility may need to capture headers?
  6. No clear consensus on recommended approach
  7. Deferring for now, but encouraging BenP to move forward with design

WebAC

  1. Discussion of new JIRA tickets
    1. fcrepo-2742: suggestion to move to hash-based ACLs
      • deprecate existing ldp:contains approach
      • emphasize the hash-based approach in documentation
      • question to community: is this a tolerable breaking change in Fedora5 or should existing WebAC model be supported (and flagged as deprecated)
  2. ACTION: DannyB to create list of breaking changes in Fedora5
  3. ACTION: DannyB to send message out to community wrt whether webac breaking change is tolerable

DuraSpace checkstyle

  1. Proposal: all DuraSpace projects adopt new checkstyle rules, with custom suppressions
  2. No decision yet
  3. Would it make sense to create a pull-request?
