18 October 2013  (No meeting 25 October)
                                                                                   
Attendees:  Laura, Rebecca, Amber, Bruce, 

Regrets:  


Agenda: 
        1. High profile issues (or current items of interest)
        
        Things to discuss at AHM: (add to this as we go along)
        
        Interest in another MN workshop - Bruce has drafted a proposal for a full-day MN workshop at the IDCC meeting in San Francisco in February 2014; Trisha Cruse says she thinks the submission deadline will be moved out a week (originally due 10/21) Now 10/28; Bruce wants to clarify some things; main question: who will be there? Amber - yes, Dave and/or Chris should be there, should Bruce plan to be there?  Rebecca: it would be good to have a couple CI folks there.  Bruce will talk with Dave about who would be best fit for attending.
         
        INPA (National Institute for Amazon Research) - https://redmine.dataone.org/issues/3691  <---hold off for now
        Matt had initially responded to their "contact us".  Should we start a conversation with them now?  (related to the question of how many MNs can we support in plan/develop/test at one time)  May be able to leverage PPBio's participation.  -- for all of the backlog tickets, we need to sit down together next week and talk about these (Bruce, Rebecca, Dave, Amber, Laura) - go through the list
        
        We're looking at these MNs going online soon:  SEAD, KUBI, NPN look like within the next week; Gulf Watch needs a political decision
        
        We need to respond to FRIM today if possible - Bruce to contact (Jing probably best CCIT POC)
        
        Issues with test environment (webtester) - Is there a redmine ticket to address maintenance on the webtester?  Laura to talk to Dave.
                
        Documentation -  New landing page and drill-downs currently live at dataone.org.  (It's very nice. - LM)  I am missing links to files like Partnership Guidelines, the desc doc template, etc.  (these documents are being vetted to more accurately reflect the current process, they'll be put back out there when updated)

        Immutability -  Next upgrade opportunity at AHM.  Immutability - nail down selected  solution and identify how to implement solution.  Content held by 3rd party resources - discuss and resolve.
       
       From Dave:    
  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z8Mr2w1w7LY31ts3di20T7frTbZjpYSSaqGCAHvfdm4/edit?usp=sharing
  
        OPeNDAP (Hyrax) member node:  Proposal in process (?) - how to identify potential MNs using OPeNDAP;  we have resources available in D1 to fund OPeNDAP compatible stack,  challenge is to frame the requirements so that it will be compatible  working outside the university funding process/structure.   Scope  potential targets, select a couple for initial release.  There is a lot  of diversity in the types of content/activity, so design decisions made  to work with OPeNDAP will impact which MNs will be selected/prioritized

        DSpace MN stack - need initial design/scoping, leading to implementation details, can be worked on as well as OPeNDAP

There will be 2 contracts created for designing the OPeNDAP MN and the DSpace MN - as soon as I get the information from Dave; we have money that needs to be spent in year 5 and this is the beginning of getting the work done
        OPeNDAP and DSpace can operate at tier 1 (or higher)
       
        Slender Node  - (harvesting metadata from sites or links to data, i.e. a tier 0)  Working on identifying which "new" MNs are running what kind of  OAI-PMH as candidates for Slender Node implementation; requires  re-initiating contact with some of the Backlog MNs (Laura and Bruce to talk next week about looking at potential MNs and identifying OAI-PMH, etc.)
       
34 potential MNs in Backlog, current status “new”
(Rebecca & Dave discussing some contract work either with or by ESRI)
 
      
        CLARIFICATION/DISCUSSION: iEcolab and EU BON and  Granada (redundancy of data - multiple MNs holding part/all of an  entity's data holdings)
       Bruce:  issue of what to talk about on Monday (barriers to MN implementation) with Bill.  Just the facts, ma'am.  Technical barriers: documentation (easy to address), business process issue (mutable content, for example)  (more difficult to address)
       Perhaps start discussion with the business process issue (the different business processes we have encountered, how we are working or can work with those to work toward the original goals of D1, etc.)
           different ideas of what perfection is
           (ideal) perfection versus reality ---- we need to decide where on the spectrum D1 can/wants to operate
             
        2. Status of MNs
Would like to devote some attention to these in particular the next time we meet (11/1)
        3. Old action items
         - eBird/AKN - if we can support them, we need to talk with the AKN folks
        
        4. Not-high profile issues
         
        5. Around the room
