New Business

• Requests from the Board:
  • What's a good maximum membership for the Roadmap Committee? * for further discussion, initial thoughts are we don't want too large of a group
  • Is membership limited to a certain amount of time?
  • How do we determine membership? * needs more discussion
  • How to determine Chair? * Rotating chair and note takers.
  • Timeline for Releases:
    • two a year possibly Feb. Or March then another 6 months later
      • Islandora 7.x-1.3
      • will try for Feb. release (possibly code freeze in Jan.)
      • Islandora/Fedora 4 Alpha
      • Nigel has done some documentation regarding content modules. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FF/Converting+an+Fedora+3+Islandora+Content+model+to+Fedora+4+by+Example
      • Nigel also has some patches to allow Islandora to work with Fedora 4 or Fedora 3. This currently mostly works.
• Internet Archive books and the book solution pack
• Peter M. has done pull request regarding some of this. Was discussed in committers call (support for other file types)
• Ongoing issues with LOC xsl not handling dates properly.
  • There are fixes - roll them in and be forked from LOC, or stick with LOC? LOC has not been responsive about fixing things on their end. * Donald received a message from LOC saying they would look into it, LOC Dev said if we had certain attributes set their current xslt should work.
    * Nick knows a guy who knows a guy and maybe able to get the LOC xslt patched. * We could include an alternate version of the stylesheet as an option with documentation on how to use it and why you would want to use it.
