  • Islandora CLA (based off Apache CLA. See redlined Hydra iCLA and cCLA)

Nick raised the concern that some institutions may want partial ownership of code. We should have both individual and corporate CLAs to cover both instances.

Need to clarify review and coding standards. Should software have to meet Drupal coding standards as a minimum? We have testing parameters in place with Travis, etc. Code needs to pass those tests.

Needs a provision to make sure code is compliant, but specific standards don't need to be outlined.

Code to be reviewed by "Islandora Committers", which may be the group under the Islandora GitHub umbrella.

Where do we carve off time from qualified people to do code review? Pull requests can build up, but there's no room in regular schedules for this work right now. Having this done in a volunteer capacity makes it hard to be consistent.

Do we need an official "Release Manager" to take responsibility for these tasks? This could be a volunteer position, future employee of the IF. What about a staggered Release Manager, with an experienced head and components assigned out to teams or individuals to divide up the work. We could call for committers from the community.

@TODO: Draft proposal for benefits of volunteering and send out a call for volunteers

  • Islandora Futures: Drupal 8 and Fedora 4 Drupal 8 - Jonathan has been playing with betas and went to Drupalcon. It's interesting, but it has major structural changes. Only %20 code overlap between 7 and 8. Using Symphony. No hooks. Registries and plugins. It's going to be very different and potential not "done." It no longer looks like it will be out in Feb as promised at Drupalcon. Code is frozen, but with many critical issues. 7.x was delayed as well, so this is not unfamiliar territory. Since modules will lag behind, we're not going to want to move for a while.

It may be ready-ish in a year, 6 months later dgi would start work on an 8.x Islandora and maybe 6 months later we might have an Islandora 8 beta.

DGI is not developing for Drupal 8 right now. UPEI has CS student projects each year and porting Drupal 7 to 8 alpha is a potential project for the future. This year another project was chosen instead.

  • IdeaWall Updates

UPEI is working on the Google Scholar indexing task and has made good progress. Paul is working with the sitemap module from Drupal 6 and will port it to 7 for IslandScholar. Google Scholar likes sitemaps. Paul may be able to demo on the next Committer's Call.

Fedora 4 -

  • Code Snippets Repo - review draft page

New Business
