• (30 mins) General Discussion Topics
  1. Tentative plans for a DSpace 7 Online Workshop the week of November 14.  (Loosely based on "Getting Started with DSpace 7" workshop held for OR2021)
     1. Possible workshops (Spread across 3 days. Each session may be ~60min of content & 30min of questions)
        1. Session 1 - (Audience: people using DSpace) 7.4 updates & Using DSpace (Repo mgrs is audience)
           1. Tim & Melissa? 
        2. Session 2 - (Audience: people setting up a DSpace) branding Angular UI + backend configuration (light customizations / configuration - simple changes).  Higher level install/upgrade tips.
           1. Tim? & Corrado
        3. Session 3 - (Audience: people developing on DSpace) Development / Integrations (Angular or REST).  Theme support.  How to use the REST API & REST API best practices. 2hrs?
           1. Should be an introduction to DSpace development (not a deep dive).  Perhaps similar Angular & REST content to "Getting Started with DSpace 7" workshop held for OR2021
           2. Andrea & Art (Art will be back from holiday on Nov 15. This session should be on 17th or 18th)
  2. Final comments on Configurable Entity plans/scope for 7.x?
     1. Per last week's discussion, those in attendance agreed that we should refrain from adding any new Entities into 7.x.  New entities require more detailed strategic planning & discussion that isn't possible until 8.x.  Therefore, the goal of 7.x should be to ensure Configurable Entities are built out / supported throughout DSpace in preparation for any new Entities in v8
  3. Anyone interested in this very annoying bug (has impacted several production sites already)? Downloading restricted bitstreams does not work when opening a new tab/window: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1809
     1. Also means that you cannot download any files from the submission UI at this time, as those all open in a new tab.  See https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8378
  4. Any other topics?
• (30 mins) Planning for next week
  • Review the Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.
  • Review the 7.4 Project Board - Assign tickets to developers & assign PRs to reviewers.
    • Paid (by DSpace project) developers must keep in mind priority. If new "high" or "medium" priority tickets come in, developers should move effort off of "low" priority tasks.
    • Volunteer developers are allowed to work on tickets regardless of priority, but ideally will review code in priority order
