Old Business

  • Previous meeting notes

Interest Groups

  • Preservation Interest Group (Donald)
    ** Meeting for sure next month, and hopefully regularly after that

  • Fedora 4 Interest Group (Nick) ** Meeting at Hylandora day. Agenda: https://github.com/islandora-interest-groups/Islandora-Fedora4-Interest-Group/blob/master/meetings/12.md ** Two new committers: Diego Pino (Chile) and Aaron Coburn (Amherst College) ** 7x.2x Sprint: perhaps not much code necessary, this may be a documentation sprint

  • Documentation Interest Group (Melissa) ** Next meeting at IslandoraCamp CT, might be cancelled due to unavailability of leadership ** Group is struggling with membership, looking for recruitment support

  • Dev Ops Interest Group (Mark Jordan)
    ** Productive meeting this week; still bootstrapping out of excellent meeting at conference ** Phil Souda will liase between Documentation and DevOps ** Looking for a new maintainer for vagrant; nothing decided but progress is being made

  • Metadata Interest Group (Jennifer)
    ** Scaling back on sub-groups to just two (Fedora 4 + Hydra Compatibility) with others being handled by the larger group ** Agenda for Nov 9: https://github.com/islandora-interest-groups/Islandora-Metadata-Interest-Group/blob/master/Meetings/Agenda05.md

  • UI Interest Group (Rosie - absent)
    ** No representatives present

  • IR Interest Group (new!) ** Looking for representative; Jennifer volunteered ** Previous meeting notes: https://github.com/islandora-interest-groups/Islandora-IR-Interest-Group/blob/master/meetings/02.md ** Meetings every 4th Thursday of month at 3pm ET on Skype (notify Emily Toner or Brian Brown)

Islandora Camp updates

  • iCampCT
    ** Conference attendance down compared to hoped, but budget in the black ** Schedule is solid, Hylandora day is now free and unconference (still recruiting)
  • Next camp: Florida in March
  • Next conference: two years away, location TBD

New Business

  • Licenses for 7.x-2.x related things. Discussion here and here (Nick) ** GPLv2 or GPLv3 candidates: GPLv3 has hangups on patent language ** No legal counsel yet; but Nick has excellent resources via Evergreen and Software Freedom Law Center / Software Conservancy ** Board meeting in late November should set direction: no license may be accepted on this project until the Board reaches an opinion ** Further discussion illuminated the depth and murkiness of this issue ** Can this remain unlicensed or do we need to apply some sort of license? CLA may not require consensus on any license change? *** Resolution: Leave unlicensed for now until a more authoritative opinion is achieved. Reaching such a consensus has a reasonably high degree of urgency.
  • 7.x-1.7 Release manager
  • 7.x-2.x Sandbox
