[14:59] <hpottinger> oh, erm, 1 minute
[14:59] <pbecker> please welcome your host: tdonohue!
[15:00] <tdonohue> haha :)
[15:00] * hpottinger claps loudly.
[15:01] <tdonohue> OK, so, obviously this is the weekly DSpace Developers meeting. Agenda at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2015-02-25
[15:01] <kompewter> [ DevMtg 2015-02-25 - DSpace - DuraSpace Wiki ] - https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2015-02-25
[15:01] <tdonohue> So, I wish I could say I prepped more for this meeting...but, unfortunately I've just been "fighting fires" in the last 24 hours.
[15:02] <hpottinger> how can we help?
[15:02] <pbecker> hope that's not meant literally?!
[15:02] <tdonohue> The most recent fire (still burning strongly) is that none of our DSpace mailing lists are currently working. This includes dspace-general, dspace-tech and dspace-devel, dspace-commit, dspace-*.... They all are down
[15:02] <tdonohue> (no, not literal fires)
[15:03] <tdonohue> I've logged a ticket with SourceForge. These lists seem unresponsive since Monday. SourceForge staff has yet to respond to the ticket: http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/9820/
[15:03] <kompewter> [ Forge / Site Support / #9820 DSpace mailing lists seem to be down / not functional ] - http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/9820/
[15:04] <tdonohue> This morning, I've also been investigating a possible "rapid migration" to Google Groups from SourceForge mailing lists....because as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the "last straws" for SourceForge.
[15:04] <hpottinger> +1 moving
[15:05] <hpottinger> I'm sure we've talked this topic to death, but, can you recap why self-hosting mail man is not an option?
[15:05] <tdonohue> Andrew Woods from Fedora has done a similar migration from SF -> GG for Fedora about a year back...he's passed along his notes on the process. It's not exactly *easy*, but if we don't have any other way to communicate, it's now the top priority on my list.
[15:06] <tdonohue> hpottinger: mostly just that DuraSpace doesn't run a mailmain. All other DuraSpace projects use Google Groups for mailing lists. So, we've never hosted mailman ourselves
[15:06] <pbecker> tdonohue: is the list of "mailing list members" accessible?
[15:07] <tdonohue> yes, the mailing list subscribers/members *is* accessible. The *archives* are also accessible (though I'm having difficulty downloading the dspace-tech archives...likely it's just massive in size). The archives obviously end as of Monday, when the lists stopped working
[15:08] <tdonohue> I've successfully downloaded the archives from all other lists...*except* dspace-tech
[15:08] <tdonohue> I've been following these general instructions, with tips/hints from Andrew Woods: https://github.com/wojdyr/fityk/wiki/MigrationToGoogleGroups

[15:09] <hpottinger> looks like they are in the middle of a hardware migration
[15:09] <hpottinger> wait, no, that was back in December

[15:12] * cknowles (~cknowles@is-lac-maclap1.is.ed.ac.uk) has joined #duraspace
[15:12] <tdonohue> So, in any case, I'm not sure if there is any areas that anyone else can help with on the list migration. I just wish we had a way to communicate any of this to our users...but, if I can get the "dspace-general" list migrated quickly enough, we can do that.
[15:13] <tdonohue> Oh, and as part of this migration...I'm proposing we rename "dspace-general" (which is a bad name) to something like "dspace-community" (Fedora's community list is called "fedora-community")
[15:13] <hpottinger> in this day and age, sometimes a grumbly tweet gets more attention than a ticket
[15:13] <tdonohue> I'll tweet at them too...thanks for the sfnet_ops twitter link
[15:14] <tdonohue> Even if SourceForge suddenly responds and gets us running again, I still think we should consider moving over to Google Groups in the near future (though it obviously wouldn't be as "rushed')
[15:14] * awoods (~awoods@c-67-165-245-76.hsd1.co.comcast.net) has joined #duraspace
[15:15] <tdonohue> huh, looks like they also have a "realtime" IRC support channel: https://sourceforge.net/support
[15:15] <hpottinger> tdonohue: you can maybe tweet the mail list status out, the news will spread via twitter, it's not ideal, but it would work

[15:15] <tdonohue> hpottinger: very true
[15:18] <hpottinger> that IRC channel is on freenode, you should just be able to join it from here

[15:18] <hpottinger> (not that we *all* need to go over there right now)
[15:19] * pbecker is already there, waiting for you. ;-)
[15:20] <tdonohue> OK...so, if we are jumping over there, that means this meeting gets put temporarily "on hold" ;)
[15:20] * hpottinger is staying put
[15:20] <hpottinger> pbecker, you have my proxy, you may grump at SF on my behalf
[15:21] <tdonohue> Hmmm...my IRC client is playing tricks and telling me "no such channel: sourceforge". I'll just jump over post-meeting
[15:22] <pbecker> a bot tells me, that we are comming outside of their business hours...
[15:22] <tdonohue> but, in the meantime, pbecker, if you want to alert them...here's the SF ticket I logged: http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/9820/

[15:22] <hpottinger> soo.... tdonohue has been working pretty hard getting a bunch of dot plus one releases out
[15:23] <tdonohue> Yes, so, back to Release topics...
[15:23] <hpottinger> what's the story with 4.x?
[15:23] <tdonohue> There were a few (minor, now fixed, I believe) "fires" in the release processes yesterday. Namely, the 4.x branch was in an "unstable" state
[15:23] <tdonohue> The 4.x branch now seems to be ready. I need to rerun the release from there though.
[15:24] <tdonohue> Latest status is.... 3.4 is released & available (unannounced though, obviously). 4.3 is "in process", and 5.1 is last in line
[15:24] <pbecker> I wrote into #sourceforge, but I don't think that I'll get any help over there now. We should look for their business hours and try again later.

[15:25] <tdonohue> Looks like they should be in "business" after this meeting
[15:26] <hpottinger> 16->0UTC
[15:26] * awoods (~awoods@c-67-165-245-76.hsd1.co.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
[15:27] <pbecker> other sf-projects have the same issues as we have.
[15:27] <pbecker> sorry, back to the releases.
[15:28] <pbecker> tdonohue, hpottinger: thanks for your work on the releases!
[15:28] <tdonohue> So, regarding all our releases. I think the rest of the 4.3 and 5.1 release processes should go smoothly (fingers crossed). The "Release Notes" for each are still in process (but mostly there). I haven't drafted an announcement yet (but we need the lists back to do that, obviously)
[15:29] <tdonohue> I will also mention, I've started adding Release information to GitHub (in their "releases" section)... https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases
[15:29] <kompewter> [ Releases · DSpace/DSpace · GitHub ] - https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases
[15:29] <tdonohue> (Currently it wrongly says "4.3" is the latest release, only cause that's the last one I did. Once 5.1 is out there, it will be tagged "latest")
[15:32] <tdonohue> I think that's really the latest info I have...as mentioned, it's been a crazy last 24 hours. Hopefully SourceForge will fix our mailing list issues today (but in the meantime, I'm starting the Google Groups migration process behind the scenes, just in case)
[15:33] <hpottinger> tdonohue: do you want to alert the community to the possible move?
[15:33] <helix84> tdonohue: are the release branches still open for other bugfixes?
[15:34] <tdonohue> helix84: no. Releases are happening. 3.4 is out, 4.3 is tagged (but not yet to Maven Central). 5.1 is coming soon.
[15:34] <helix84> tdonohue: thanks
[15:35] <tdonohue> hpottinger: not quite yet. As the Google Groups migration takes some time, if SF *responds* we'll stay on SF (for now, at least). If they don't respond, then I'll let the community know once the Google Groups migration is "almost there"
[15:35] <hpottinger> OK
[15:35] <tdonohue> Any other questions / thoughts here? Our agenda is very light today.. I honestly don't have any other topics for today :)
[15:36] <hpottinger> looking forward to 6, do we want to bump all our dependency versions soon?
[15:36] <tdonohue> And, another SF project just noted their mailing list is also down. This SF problem may get resolved (hopefully).
[15:39] <tdonohue> regarding DSpace 6. Sure, now is the time to start to think about bumping up dependencies. Likely we need to do it in a JIRA ticket / PR though, obviously
[15:39] * awoods (~awoods@c-67-165-245-76.hsd1.co.comcast.net) has joined #duraspace
[15:41] <tdonohue> No other topics for today? (Sorry, my mind is really in several places at once, unfortunately)
[15:41] <pbecker> are there any plans to work on our database connection? Perhaps introducing some new orm, going to use hibernate or some other framework?
[15:42] <pbecker> While I started using (and developing) DSpace I saw some plans, but I do not know there current status and who was working (or thinking about) on it?
[15:42] <hpottinger> pbecker: people are toying with the idea, but no concrete plans that I know of, and certainly no JIRA issues on it
[15:42] <tdonohue> Regarding DB connection.... I've heard rumor that @mire is working on some sort of Hibernate integration for DSpace 6 (I think KevinVdV maybe?). They haven't formally said anything to Committers yet, though.
[15:43] <tdonohue> I'd contact KevinVdV though on Hibernate stuff if you are interested. I really don't know it's status or how far along the idea is...just heard mention of it as a possibility
[15:43] <hpottinger> https://github.com/KevinVdV/dspace-hibernate-datamodel
[15:43] <kompewter> [ KevinVdV/dspace-hibernate-datamodel · GitHub ] - https://github.com/KevinVdV/dspace-hibernate-datamodel
[15:44] <hpottinger> if you're interested, star that
[15:44] <pbecker> hpottinger: I would love to see support for other dbms. but I'm currently working on versioning and deletion of epersons.
[15:44] <tdonohue> aha. Yea, it's possible Kevin is even working more on this behind the scenes too...not sure
[15:45] <pbecker> If I'll start thinking about it, I'll contact KevinVdV...
[15:46] <tdonohue> We should remember to also ask KevinVdV to be sure he *is* planning on this for DSpace 6. Again, I don't have a formal verification...just heard it was of interest to @mire / Kevin
[15:46] * pbecker loves postgres, but has some local reasons to look for other dbms
[15:46] <hpottinger> I have an idea, maybe we put some of these "big changes" ideas on the table for the meeting at OR15?
[15:47] <tdonohue> hpottinger: good point. Probably about time to start up an OR15 Meeting page (on wiki) and adding in some possible topics to discuss
[15:47] <helix84> I have a heads up regarding Solr 5
[15:47] <helix84> The important news is that Solr 5 will no longer be distributed as a war, but rather as a separate server (customized jetty)
[15:48] <helix84> (actually Solr 5 was released this week)
[15:48] <helix84> so this may be time to start planning what we'll do in the DSpace 6 timeframe
[15:49] <tdonohue> huh, I hadn't noticed that yet, helix84. Good to know. At the same time, that seems a tad harder to work with, if you just want to use Tomcat for everything. Hmmm...
[15:49] <helix84> the obvious option would be to distribute the Solr server along DSpace, kind of like we do with the local handle server
[15:49] <tdonohue> true
[15:50] <pbecker> I don't like the habit of apps to run containers for their own. Ending up with a lot of servlet containers using a lot of memory which could be used better.
[15:50] <helix84> we might also consider if we want to do an ElasticSearch implementation of our Discovery and perhaps switch from Solr to ES sometime (just throwing an idea out there)
[15:50] <helix84> or we might want to stay with Solr 4.10.x for DSpace 6
[15:50] <tdonohue> jumping to ES is definitely another option
[15:50] <tdonohue> Or staying on Solr 4 for now
[15:51] <hpottinger> As long as we reign in the auto-wiring for ES... I want to be able to tell it what NIC to bind to
[15:51] <helix84> I think I had one more option in mind but I don't remember what it was :)
[15:51] <tdonohue> helix84: would you be willing to start up a JIRA ticket to begin this discussion?
[15:51] <helix84> tdonohue: sure
[15:51] <tdonohue> thanks!
[15:52] <robint> Hi all
[15:52] <helix84> Another piece of info regarding Solr 5 is that it will be able to migrate indexes in Solr 4.10 format automatically
[15:53] <helix84> It's a similar situation to out 3.5.0 -> 4.10.2 migration
[15:53] * hpottinger waves to robint.
[15:53] <robint> re. Hibernate, I have a feeling Cineca did a Hibernate implementation
[15:53] <hpottinger> Hmm... it's an early meeting day, where are the? :-)
[15:53] <helix84> DSpace 6 with Solr 5 would have an ant task to download the solr 4.10.x jar, do an index upgrade
[15:53] <hpottinger> *they
[15:54] <helix84> then Solr 5 would upgrade the 4.10.x index to 5.x format automatically
[15:54] <helix84> (IOW Solr 5 won't support 3.x indexes anymore)

[16:01] <tdonohue> Ok, all. So, since topics are light (and someone from SF my have just shown up in #sourceforge IRC), I'm going to close up the meeting for today
