Agenda

  1. LDCX recap
    • The group discussed output and action items from LDCX.  There is a Google Doc from the event that may be of interest.  Ask on IRC for the link to the doc.
    • Jeremy Friesen and Michael Klien will get together in May and talk about re-usability of workflow steps.
  1. HydraLabs - Questioning Authority.
    •  The group discussed the current pull request for Questioning Authority (https://github.com/projecthydra/questioning_authority/pull/52).  The group agreed that authors can be removed from the README because people can refer to the contributors link on GitHub to see who has added to the document in the past.  After Karen Estlund's CLA is confirmed, Adam Wead will merge the pull request.
    • Adam will create an issue to make MeSH support be non-experimental.
    • This gem will be moved to Labs for now.  GitHub will automatically forward links.  Adam will move all of the gems with "labs" status to https://github.com/projecthydra-labs
    • We need consensus on the guidelines for promotion from Hydra Labs.
  2. Active fedora 8
    • There is an effort to show something with Hydra on top of Fedora 4 at Open Repositories in June
    • Justin is trying to get a version of Sufia to run on top of ActiveFedora 8
    • Most of the problems right now are in Fedora itself.
    • There are currently branches in hydra-head, sufia, active fedora, for Fedora 4 compatibility.  Anyone is welcome to work on this.
