Events

 * eScience seminar in Göttingen on aspects of long term archiving and preservation
 * IRODS identified as interesting complementary project (especially in context of TextGrid2)
 * presentations can be found at EScience_Seminar_2008/EScience-Seminar_Aspects_of_long-term_archiving

PubMan status

 * common logic compiled and working
 * pubman logic in progress (mostly fine), estimate: running by end of the week on one of installed servers
 * migration still critical, FIZ estimates: by 25.06.2008 hopefully fixed migration tool will be provided
 * make sure no fixed passwords are in PubMan logic (Markus will change all pwds)
 * make sure team is informed on server installations (which server for what) (Lars will extend the list on developers wiki)
 * Search&Export, citman: new schemas adopted
 * export: EndNote 10/11 xslt implemented and working
 * testing: by end of this week, first test priority is Search&Export service, if pubman is properly built, we will be able to create some test items to offer them to team in Nijnmegen (afterwards, newly built pubman can be better tested on the new servers)

Faces status

 * still problems with security (afterwards discussion and decision: JSF R1 will be put on current faces server and run with patched build 0159).
 * Faces items will not be migrated to new FW but will be newly created (as metadata need to be changed and new images are provided from the institute) (NBU: todo schedule)

VIRR status

 * no changes for now
 * new images are sent from other institute we need to ingest into another context (email exchange with involved people ongoing)
