Meeting 20110316

Development

Joseph has mainly been working on Transcoder stuff
Joseph fixed issue 471
- issues with file names with apostrophes (') with mysql escaping.
- Joseph also accidentally ommited one field (file UUID) forgetting that it will contain the file name. Missed this during testing as well.
Joseph is moving normalization paths into the database
Peter has been having some design discussions with Open Planets Foundation and Heather Bowden (PhD student at UNC) about Archivematica interaction with external format registry
Peter submitted our use cases for a REST Bag API to a collaborative group led by Educopia and Library of Congress (monthly group telecon, mostly US university libraries)

Peter, Joseph and Evelyn discussed the 'rename' to start receiveSIP issue this morning, which was originally a work-around
- Fixing this is a 0.7.1 priority
- preference#1 moving or copying files to receiveSIP will just work (i.e. Archivematica starts processing)
- preference#2 use the script Austin created at RAC to avoid the rename
see Penn State work on making each AIP its own git repository: https://github.com/MaxFisher/caps/blob/master/services/storage.py for out of the box versioning and auditing. Peter thinks this is a brilliant idea, and really wants to take a closer look at this for Archivematica

Evelyn will create wiki page with instructions on restarting Archivematica
Evelyn will add details of client installs to our private wiki
Evelyn is updating the PREMIS metadata elements pages
Evelyn is harmonizing event names with the ones suggested or used by PREMIS (see issue 481)
Peter updated the News page to list upcoming Archivematica events
