Agenda & Notes

  1. Review focus for July release (similar to high level focus paragraph Julie requested for the April release) (20 minutes)
    1. attached again is the agreed upon statement for April and the draft up for discussion for July: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zl9_vpN5BqGcdBGwn5vM6vskgXmO7DY_uNVgFOBhyDQ/edit
    2. Can we pick 1 or 2 items on top of refactoring?
      1. July release is ambitious - what is most important? On top of refactoring, perhaps room for only 1-2 more things.
      2. What is meant by Large Collections? Large number of items in collection vs. large files - two different things?
      3. What is meany by DOI plugin? Separating out from Curate gem
      4. Goals for refactoring? Make more modular and reusable. Developers may have goals to make development more efficient. Will we need to react to refactoring elsewhere within Hydra / ActiveFedora?
      5. Where do Administrative Sets and hierarchies fit in? Planning during July period with implementation later?
        1. May be various things that developers will not have time to work on in July timeframe but POs and SMEs can work on in advance of November development
      6. If only have time to create Hydramaton for research data or large collections, which first?
        1. Jon, Linda, Robin: research data
        2. Rick: can we do research data without large collections? was assuming large collections had to come first
        3. Ask POs to define use cases for research data and see what dev is necessary
      7. Next step: Rick will send doc to POs for review/reaction
  2. Review work and resource commitment patterns (i.e. 25% resource on 1 sprint vs. 100% on 1 out of 4 sprints) (10 minutes)
    1. Follow up on proposal for minimum 50% commitment, with 100% preferred
      1. Does this mean 50% each sprint or more like 80-100% each sprint, but averaging 50% over, e.g., 6 mod?
      2. The team can OK someone contributing at less than 50% if they are comfortable with that
      3. People 
  3. Suggest dates for face to face project meeting (10 minutes)
    1. Review initial topics page:  Summer 2014 Hydramata Face to Face Meeting Topics
      1. Any weeks in July that are better than others?
      2. Zero in on dates and then pick location
      3. Location TBD
  4. Staff transitions upcoming
