Meeting 20110504

Development

• Austin added http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/source/browse/trunk/src/SIPCreationTools/bin/transferSip?spec=svn1363&r=1363 which should help with http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/issues/detail?id=455. Also may be work around for http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/issues/detail?id=482
• Joseph added groups to db, so the transcoder database has the ability to associate file extensions with groups
• Austin submitted some package fixes yesterday, made them a bit smarter when reinstalling or updating: http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/source/detail?r=1358
• Issue 482 <http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/issues/detail?id=482>:Receive SIP watch directory behavior. - Rename move etc. Joseph is going to take a crack at hacking this to work in the MCP
• Evelyn has spent time working with City of Vancouver Archives on video preservation
• Peter is planning to work on AIP structure review/design over next couple of weeks. He will try to highlight any dev requirements as early as next week (i.e. using Bagit as SIPs).
  • Joseph: that will lead into the MCP dbase/data model review which we can discuss further and finally pin-down at ArtefactualCon2011

Deployment

• Daily packages are working so far.. still a few things to fix here and there.. but so far so good

Testing

• Scalability testing (http://archivematica.org/wiki/index.php?title=Scalability_testing): /usr/lib/sanitizeNames.py seems to choke with lots of objects with lots of spaces
• Evelyn has been testing metadata extraction from video files
  • FITS doesn't recognize MKV video files, which is City of Vancouver Archives' preferred wrapper for video files
