Developers Meeting on Weds, June 2, 2010

Agenda

Any Announcements / Additional Agenda Items?
GSoC updates
- Unit Testing Project will be meeting in #duraspace at 21:00UTC on Thursday, June 3.
Jira Workflow updates
- "Received" step is now functional in JIRA. Now new issues go into a "Received" state. If they are accepted (i.e. have been reviewed), they should be moved to "Open" and assigned to someone. If they are invalid (for whatever reason), they can be "Closed" directly from that "Received" state.
- Two new notifications from JIRA (sent to dspace-devel):
  - DSpace JIRA Stale Issues Report - issues that haven't changed in 6+ months (sent monthly, on first of month)
  - DSpace JIRA Issues Needing Review - list of all issues still in the "Received" state (sent weekly, every Monday)
- Any other notifications/reports we want?
  - Stuart suggests a report of all issues scheduled for next release which are unresolved (sent every two weeks) to try and help us keep on schedule.
DSpace 1.6.2? – fix DS-584 - start-handle-server script broken and other small issues quickly?

JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-524 (and getting as far as we can).
- Search for recent JIRA Issues

1.6.2 will be released ASAP to resolve DS-584, Peter Dietz volunteered to be 1.7.0 Release Coordinator, recent JIRA workflow tweaks approved

GSoC Updates – see agenda notes above
- Mark Diggory & Tim Donohue would like to see the Developers/Committers make a commitment to keeping up-to-date on our GSoC 2010 Projects – many/most of these projects have a goal of adding their code to Trunk in time for 1.7 release.
- Join the new dspace-gsoc-student listserv to get involved and provide feedback. Updates will also go to dspace-devel, but this GSoC specific listserv is where the most activity will occur.
Jira Workflow updates
- Changes to JIRA workflow & the two new reports received positive feedback
- As 1.7 gets closer, we may decide to add a new report of "all issues scheduled for next release which are unresolved" (Stuart's idea)
DSpace 1.6.2
- Everyone agreed we need to do a quick 1.6.2 release to resolve DS-584. DSpace 1.6.2 will only fix DS-584.
- Kim Shepherd taking lead on release. Stuart Lewis & Keith Gilbertson will help build and test a fix for DS-584.
DSpace 1.7.0
- Peter Dietz has volunteers to be the 1.7 Release Coordinator! Thanks Peter!

Announce & Release 1.6.2 ASAP
Try to setup Handle Server (with real handle prefix donated by CNRI) on http://demo.dspace.org ASAP (Tim Donohue will do this)
Announce Peter Dietz as the 1.7 Release Coordinator
