1. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 7 Status Updates for this week.  No major updates this week, Sprint #2 is ongoing

   1. DSpace 7 Working Group is where the work is taking place
   2. DSpace 7 Dev Status spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18brPF7cZy_UKyj97Ta44UJg5Z8OwJGi7PLoPJVz-g3g/edit#gid=0

2. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 6.x Status Updates for this week

   1. Master ports from 6.3. A number of PRs merged into 6.3 release have not yet been ported to `master` branch.  These PRs are closed but still have the "port to master" label.

      2. As we're working through this list, we should remove the 'port to master' label from the dspace-6.x PR and if possible, edit the JIRA comment to remove the "63_PORT_TO_MASTER" text.
   2. 6.4 will surely happen at some point, but no definitive plan or schedule at this time.  Please continue to help move forward / merge PRs into the dspace-6.x branch, and we can continue to monitor when a 6.4 release makes sense.
3. Brainstorms for "Plumbing" changes (from last week's meeting)
   1. Bulk Operations Support Enhancements (from Mark H. Wood)
      1. Better support for bulk operations (in database layer), so that business logic doesn't need to know so much about the storage database layer. Specifically, perhaps a way to pass a callback into the storage database layer, to be applied iteratively to the results of a query.
      2. Then, the storage database layer can handle batching, transaction boundaries, and other things that it should know about, and the business logic won't have to deal with them.
      3. This is the result of thinking about a recent -tech posting from a site with half a million objects that needed checksum processing.
      4. (This is almost an extension of the tabled topic below regarding DSpace Database Access, but a bit more specific in trying to simplify/improve upon how bulk operations are handled)
   2. Curation System Needs (from Terrence W Brady )
4. Tickets, Pull Requests or Email threads/discussions requiring more attention? (Please feel free to add any you wish to discuss under this topic)
