Hi Everybody,
This is just a welcome back message for all the folks who participated in our RESTful Bag Server group discussions last year. It was a pleasure from Educopia's perspective to get to connect with so many people doing great work with resources like BagIt and various other micro-service approaches. We learned a ton!
As indicated on my last message before the holidays, I'd like to continue helping to facilitate monthly discussions around the maturing spec, if folks are still interested. But rather than jump to the conclusion that our old meeting time works for everybody, I'd like to get a temperature reading through a Doodle poll for the last week in January (http://www.doodle.com/cetpkcpqi2b6yuhw). Folks can indicate which days/times might work. Please approach this as a standing time-slot for the final week of each month going forward. Poll is in ET, and I'll close it out next Friday, January 20th.
These calls have been helpful for some of the more invested developers to check in with each other and discuss implementations of the spec, as well as to welcome any new and interested folks who just want to lurk (and maybe dive in deeper as time goes by).
If I see enough of the old faces filling out the poll, and hopefully a decent handful of new and interested faces, I'll get a call scheduled during that last week in January. If not, I'll take it to mean we've reached a point with the spec where folks are ready to explore implementations in a more independent and ad hoc fashion. In that event, I'll probably hold off on resuming until I get a critical mass of requests from the community.
Other groups and individuals are always welcome to pick up the ball and run with facilitating group calls in the future as well.
Notes from our last call are available in the previous message. And as always the spec can be found here: https://github.com/acdha/restful-bag-server.
Thanks,

Hi Everybody,
We just enjoyed a fruitful update from Chris Adams (Library of
Congress) whose has done much of the lead work in defining the RESTful
Bag Server spec - as found on our github site: https://github.com/acdha/restful-bag-server
We discussed the importance at this point of heading in the direction
of furthering some of the initial implementations of the spec, and
encouraging any other interested groups and parties to begin building
out some preliminary implementations. A couple of implementations
already underway include:
Play Framework Implementation:
http://groups.google.com/group/digital-curation/browse_thread/thread/0e8dfdb8c5a3e2aa?pli=1
Java Bag Server: http://groups.google.com/group/digital-curation/browse_thread/thread/60c070bdee101ef3#
Chris is very eager to encourage other groups to just dive in and
establish a reference server implementation and request to fork the
repository as desired to help inspect and finalize the test suite.
He'll do what he can to make his own progress in those areas, but
others should not feel held up.
Chris will peek in on the open issues and close out those he can, but
most of these do not seem like outright impediments to beginning
implementations using the spec as defined. So, if there are folks out
there who have an immediate use case for the spec please be encouraged
to proceed. You are welcome to get in touch with Chris via github - he
may be able to handle minor questions here and there.
As we are heading into the holidays we will not be scheduling any
conference calls for November or December. We will pick back up again
beginning Friday, January 27th at 3pm ET. Call-in info will be the
same: 1-270-400-2000, 282929#.
In the meantime, if you have any questions concerning the spec please
don't hesitate to contact me: matt.s...@metaarchive.org.

Hi Again,
Last call on the Doodle scheduler for resuming monthly calls for our RESTful Bag Server development. I'll close the scheduler this evening at 8pm ET. Depending on what sort of a critical mass we get, we'll see about whether to resume with a brief (re-)starter call this month (during the last week of Jan.), or wait for some future renewed interest. Look for an update this evening.
Thanks,

Hi Everybody,
Thanks to those who took the time to drop in on the scheduler for resuming monthly calls for the RESTful Bag Server work. At this point we'll hold off on resuming calls, until there are more requests that come forward. Folks can always contact me at matt.s...@metaarchive.org to express future interest in facilitating calls. I'm happy to consider. I'd also be happy sitting in on any future calls that other individuals or groups would like to host around this interesting set of development.
In any such interim, I'll touch base off-list with the principal spec developers to make sure that documentation (open issues, etc.) is sufficient for interested parties to drop in on the GitHub site (https://github.com/acdha/restful-bag-server) and move forward on implementations, or pick up on future collaborations. I'll likely post a summary of the work on educopia.org as well.
As mentioned before the holidays, the group reached the point where we were very eager to encourage other interested parties to just dive in and establish a reference server implementation and request to fork the repository as desired to help inspect and finalize the test suite. If there are folks out there who have an immediate use case for the spec please be encouraged to proceed. The developers tend to be very responsive to messages sent through GitHub.
