• First 20+ minutes: JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-675
  • Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-675)

• General AnnouncementsUp for discussion/comments:
  • Proposal for a New "Feature Request" Review Process in collaboration with the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT):
    • https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/NewFeatureReviewWorkflow

• 1.8.0 DiscussionsRelease Discussion
  • Discuss whether we want to switch to a new version numbering scheme for 1.8? Past suggestions include:
    • Drop the "1.", so that "1.8" would be "DSpace 8" (This is similar to Java, where 1.6 is also called Java 6)
    • Change release number to be based on release date, so Oct 2011 release would be numbered 11.10 (YY.MM) – this is similar to Ubuntu Release numbers
    • Other ideas? Or, do we just stick with "1.8" for now?

• Next Week (Feb 9) - Special Topics Meeting on git / DCVS, led by Peter Dietz
  • (NOTE: Tim may be unable to attend, as he'll be at code4lib conference. It all depends on wireless stability at the conference.)

• Other ideas for upcoming "Special Topics" Meetings
  • Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
    • Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
    • Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
    • Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
  • Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
