Minutes
1. Questions/comments/additions to news and events
2. Open discussion on how DCAT is working / how it could improve
-we have played a role in bridging the gap between user community and committers - success in 1.8 - JIRA issues w/DCAT interest seems to be addressed with higher priority
-clients appreciate DCAT the effort - feel like they have more access to developer community, see an improvement
-positive development
-couple people never participate - maybe pull them in on more narrowly defined project
-intimidated by lack of knowledge or skills - don't feel I can get involved
-discussions get lost among everything else - maybe need a more focused time to work on ---> team will try to have a DCAT e-forum for 2 days on the Thurs & Fri following the conference call mtg
-any other thoughts/feedback - please send email or chat w/Val
-add deadlines for tasks on the action item - Val
3. Improving metadata support project teams formation
-based on survey results for each of the 6 projects we have about 20-25 volunteers to work on each, responses from the news piece brought a few more volunteers
-need project team leaders - maybe 2 co-chairs for each group
-infrastructure: mailing lists, wiki space
-collaboration/coordination w/DSpace committers and DCAT
---DCAT liason
---committer liason
-preliminary code reviews - code is somewhere that is publically available - check into a public place - GetHub or Subversion - to get feedback before it is complete and gets submitted to JIRA
-join developer list and use it for the projects - as open as possible to all dev/cmtr - project work should all be brought back to dspace dev - project coordination on sep list
-send msg to volunteers and dspace devel list
...
-we are the facilitators, not the coordinators
-how the team works together is up to the team - DCAT can help to kick start / solve problems
-next version of DSpace - have a lot of runway to get in, dependent on resources - early deadline for project end to allow for enough time
-email out to each volunteer group to solidify participation and identify co-leaders - Val
-discuss proposal on collaboration w/Commtters w/Tim Donohue - Val
4. Old JIRA issue update - Discuss 560 & 456 and any updates to others
