Notes

  • Community updates

    • Fedora work -- appreciated! Neat to see things coming together
    • A few pull requests yet to be approved
    • What happens to AUDIT logs? Are they first-class content, or should they be written to the logs directory?
    • OCFL Java Client updates from Peter:
      • Does not do anything with the logs directory yet
      • Working quite well with S3
      • Suggestion for doing a demo of the S3 at the next OCFL community meeting. Peter thinks that's a good idea.
    • Neil has discovered another OCFL repository in Germany; he's trying to get more information about this.
  • Review of 1.0 roadmap

    • Status of clients: Julian, Peter are the most advanced
    • List of Error Codes for validators provided
    • List of fixtures: Julian has some Stanford-specific fixtures; need to be cleaned up
    • Tests: Will require fixtures & software
  • Peter: Thing holding us up is the lack of specification for extensions, specifically layouts and parameterization. Neil will take this on, and create an issue to track progress on this.

  • Next meeting: February 12th.
