Does anyone have any issues with msub accounts being anon ready only by
default or at least read only by all users with Matterhorn jira
accounts? In my initial post regarding msub, I proposed this but I want
to make sure it's ok. I guess folks could request to lock down read
only access, but I think this approach encourages sharing.

Hi Ruben,
Your institutional msub committers must have accounts in Matterhorn's
Jira instance. If they don't already have accounts, they can sign up
at [4] and can change their passwords and other account details from
their profile page [5].
Requests for modifying your msub committers list should be sent to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.

Josh,
I'm just curious: how are the msub users managed? When we request
access, do we have to also specify the usernames we would like to
have access with? Is it going to be a single user for institution?
In case several users are allowed, can they manage their password
somehow?
I know we briefly talked about it before, but these questions
occurred to me now that we are about to create our own UVigo's msub.
Thanks!

As Matterhorn goes into pilot and production at more
institutions, adopters will undoubtedly be making changes to
the code. We expect to see custom workflows, encoding
profiles, security configurations, Atom and RSS feeds, and
other customizations that we haven't thought of, requiring
deeper changes to underlying services or user interfaces.
This is why Opencast, through our supporters at Atlassian,
offers space in our subversion source code repository for
institutions to store and share their Matterhorn
customizations. We've adopted the Sakai foundation's practice
of offering "msub" directories in SVN, as described here [1]:
"mSub (or massively-inclusive Subversion) was implemented to
provide each ... Partner organization with a common, shared
space in which to keep a copy of their local ...
implementation or implementations... This approach offers a
number of advantages to both the organization itself and the
community as a whole:
* easier to manage local customizations
* easier to share production code with other organizations
* easier to compare customizations across organizations
looking for important trends
* easier to contribute production-tested code, bug fixes,
or customizations back to the community repository for
inclusion in future releases"
There are other ways to share customizations, such as using a
distributed version control system and a public hosting site
[2], [3], but these require different tools than those being
used by the Matterhorn developers and therefore make merging
between repositories difficult.
We therefore encourage anyone who is interested in customizing
Matterhorn to do so in a public "msub" directory. Simply send
an email to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> to request an msub
directory for your institution.
Thanks,
Josh
