Here is the Fedora4 presentation summary:
===============
Fedora4 is one of the LDP implementations supporting all three container types: basic, direct, and indirect. It is an opensource repository application supporting the library, archives and museums communities. These repository/LDP stakeholders share specific interests in both the access of resources as well as their backend preservation. The preservation of resources not only concerns the bit-level integrity of the content overtime, but also the durability of the APIs on which upper-level applications are built. To those ends, Fedora4 strives to identify the most appropriate standards towards which to channel the community's efforts and implementations. LDP represents one of these core API standards for defining the terminology and interaction models for create/read/update/delete operations on a linked data server.

In the course of developing and using the Fedora4 LDP implementation, certain ambiguities with the specification have surfaced as well as areas where extension to the LDP interaction models and surrounding services would be useful. The ambiguities should be addressed in the course of the LDP working group's review of the specification during the next phase of work. Although a number of specific examples of extensions could be offered, instead of attempting to envelop these into the specification, a more constructive approach to addressing this general need will be to define a mechanism by which implementations define and advertise their own extensions.

In order to enable LDP implementations to define and expose their interaction model and service extensions in a consistent way, as well as to enable applications that build on top of these implementations to discover these extensions in a consistent way, this proposal is for an addition to the current LDP 1.0 Recommendation that defines the pattern for such extensions. For context, interaction model extensions could include such things as AuthZProtectedContainers, VersionedContainers, and FixityResources. At the global LDP server level, LDPTransactions could be an example of an implementation-specific service extension.

Any requests for additional information or clarification can be sent to fedora-tech@googlegroups.com <mailto:fedora-tech@googlegroups.com>

     Hi Andrew:
     It may take a few hours for mail to appear on the reflectors.
     Could you send your summary to me directly.  I am working on
     a meeting report and will use your summary as input.

     All the best, Ashok

         Hello Ashok,
         It was a pleasure meeting you on Tuesday at the LDP open get together. I sent my summary to the public LDP list, but do not see that it has been posted. Please let me know if there is another step that I need to perform.
         Also, are official notes, or at least the next-charter priorities available online?
         Thanks,
         Andrew
