• Committment / Official Vote on DSpace Services:
  • See this 'dspace-devel' email thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05726.html
  • Other related discussions?

...

• Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
  • Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
    • Restructure Trunk Projects
    • Refactoring the DSpace Domain Model
    • Others listed under Development Proposals
  • 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.
    • UPDATE: Jeff Trimble will lead a discussion on this in April or May. Still working on date.
  • More discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 before OR11
    • In meantime, feel free to forward thoughts on to Tim or everyone (via dspace-devel or dspace-commit).

Meeting Notes

• JIRA Review: Ended with DS-768
• GSoC Application Updates
• Discussion of Commitment to DSpace Services
  • After much discussion about the loop about just talking about services, it has been decide that the "Way forward" is:
    • "one way to break the cycle is to write more code. Build something in Services, and post as an example for people to learn from / comment on / etc"
    • So, we need more people to just start adopting Services Framework. As we get more comfortable with it, naturally it will gain broader acceptance.
