1. Tim's proposal for a (small?) 1.8.2 Release. Unfortunately discovered several annoying issues in AIP Backup & Restore that could use fixing:
   • DS-1120 : AIP Backup & Restore : SITE AIP has a different checksum everytime when orphaned Collection/Community groups exist
   • DS-1108 : AIP Backup & Restore doesn't restore a Bitstream's "Sequence ID"
2. Thoughts on a "DSpace Developers Virtual Summit" Week? (potential weeks include Feb 20-24, Feb 27-Mar 2)
   • Summit would consist of a daily video/voice chat meeting (1-2 hrs likely, via Google+?) between developers/committers
   • Open format discussion, but seeded with a few larger/provocative questions
     • Example question: "How do we move the DSpace API forward to better support multiple UIs, potential new UI development, & avoid UI logic duplication?"
   • Tim would attend each day, but rest of folks would likely be rotating in/out based on their schedules (limit of 10 simultaneous attendees, based on Google+ limitations).
   • Each day we'd publicly post (to dspace-devel list) a summary of that day's discussions. This would allow others to provide comments/feedback & to encourage others to join in following days
   • At end of summit, if things went well, it may or may not be followed up by a "Virtual Hack-a-thon" (week or two) to rapidly prototype/build any new projects that were brainstormed.
3. Google Summer of Code 2012 - Begin to think about possible GSoC DSpace Project Ideas. Also, think about whether you'd be willing to mentor a student project (of your choice, obviously).
4. REMINDER TO TRY OUT GITHUB (if you aren't on there already)! We will be voting on a possible code migration to GitHub in our meeting in 3 weeks (Feb 29)
5. Other topics?
