Notes

  1. CNI Presentation
    • Suggestion: remove slides 22-24
      • Talk to slide 21 instead ("But wait, there's more...")
    • "Sufficient Preservation Practices?" slide, examples:
      • Our regular backups are sufficient
      • My filesystem handles fixity checking
      • We perform nightly MySQL dumps
      • I have multiple copies
      • I have diverse (technology and geography) storage systems
  2. Open Issues
    • @rosy1280 to work #313 today
    • #212 waiting on +1 from Neil
    • #317, @awoods to review, add commit as appropriate
  3. Beta issues
    • Only 8 remaining
    • Clarify how to extend algorithm choices
      • Potentially move table to an addendum document
      • ..but should not remove rows from the table
      • Updates to the digest table would impact client tooling, warranting a point release of the spec
      • Those present recommend keeping the table in the spec
  4. Beta reference impl
    • Provide example of an OCFL-compliant stack
      • For example, including NFS with options
    • Potentially start off as a Git wiki page
    • Interest in having "validation of an OCFL stack"
      • Not exactly clear on how this would be implemented
    • Elements of the stack
      • Environment setup
      • UTF-8, case-sensitivity, filesystem delimiters
      • Storage systems?
      • Object store variants?
    • Minimally, a guidance document (wiki page) would be a step forward
