Old Business

Vote on CLA and Software Acceptance Procedure

• Vote held. CLA passes with minor amendment 7/7 (depending on Mark's vote). Software Acceptance Procedure 5/6 one vote withheld (Mark and Kirsta still to vote) - Jonathan wishes to record that his reason for a +0 vote is that he feels item 3 requires stronger language or better procedures. This has been discussed (last week).

Review draft call for volunteers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JFNpCXENVwOsJjf8uX8-txyGFfTP4lftGzHiwn1lTqo

• Nick to begin dialog with Hydra to determine how release management duties are shared in that group for Hydra releases. Nick provides link to component release procedure: https://github.com/projecthydra/active_fedora/wiki/Release-management-process - Skype call with Jonathan and Nick. Document to be added to and then revisited in a future meeting.

Islandora/AIF reports from Kirsta

• soft-funded Project is basically over (no more expenditures until March). Recognized as successful by funding bodies.

Review draft Resources Page/document: http://islandora.ca/resources (unpublished) and https://docs.google.com/document/d/17oRgOku0Zg81GD-bBA4n0YJd8TEC4tiQo0eD7Z-CsWs

• Reviewed document as a group and identified missing items, suggestions for category descriptions

Islandora Camp NY updates

• Camp is in the black. Model looks like it will be operational. VMs to be based on latest release. Future camps: Still looking for somewhere in California to go. GTA Islandora Camp next summer - Kirsta and Nick to tag team on-site arrangements?

Fedora 4 and Drupal 8 - questions: Do we plan on having a Drupal 8 fcrepo3 release or jump to Drupal 8 and fcrepo4? Will we have a Drupal7 fcrepo4 release? Does anyone have resources that we can put on this in the future (timeframe? mostly thinking of Drupal 8 here as DGI already has Nigel on fcrepo4)

• Donald and Paul have presentation about future Islandora. Questions will emerge about future supported versions. What versions should be cross supported?. Drupal 8 is likely on a two year timeline. Drupal 7/FCrepo4? is this a possibility? Jonathan says timeline is Drupal 7/FCrepo4 will happen before Drupal 8. Nigel patching Tuque for compatibility with Alpha 2 release of Fedora 4. Sometime next year there may be a new release. Reliant in part on the Fedora timeline (still no Solr or triplestore in Fedora4).

New Business

• Future Islandora Camps: California, London, GTA, Midwest?
