Rm meeting february 3, 2012

Agenda

1. Security: I propose a potential change in the way we do Islandora security and would like to get some feedback: I would like to have Fedora live behind a firewall, so that we don't have to handle security at the Fedora level. The biggest thing that this allows us is that we can move away from the Fedora security model, where every object has a policy, to a model where we can inherit security from say parent collections. This would assume that only authorized applications have access to Fedora, it is not open to the public.
2. Final Decision on Supported OSes: Ubuntu LTS and CentOS 5.7. Any objections?
3. Review Merlin Sheet for Islandora2 development. (This will be sent out later this week)
4. Update on Solr Views from Donald and Kirsta

• Further discussion on how we should use Views.

5. Progress update
6. Timing of next meeting

Meeting Minutes

This meeting got a bit off track because of the lack of attendees.

1. Discussed security. Didn't discuss Jonathans idea of Fedora behind a firewall, because everyone at the meeting had already talked about it. Discussed Ben's idea of using objects in Fedora to manage security. Each user created in Drupal would have an object in Fedora. Could possible hook the user creation system in Drupal.
