Minutes

1) Type based submission forms: JIRA DS-1127

• Maureen: having the type based submission override an item template for values an admin chose to hide using the type based submissions should generally be ok when well documented - Bram to post to JIRA/let Robin know
• Elin: confirmed with Robin that this won't bring the form administration into the admin UI. Andrea Swheer might be willing to work on this - Elin to create a new JIRA issue and link to DS-1127 

2) News - no questions/comments

3) Action Items

• Update current status on DCAT Discussion Schedule - a few done, everyone please complete
• Top DCAT feature/improvement priorities: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/dsforum/DCAT+Top+Priorities
  • Val: should we continue to have a space for top priorities/bluesky items?
  • general agreement that there should be a wiki space for this -- JIRA issues require clear, reasonably sized objectives -- some projects/ideas might be too large and developers won't know what to do w/them in JIRA -- wiki space will allow for brainstorming and will be more accessible to all community members
  • Val: proposed make use of the Development Proposal page, perhaps DCAT can help create some categories for the projects on this page which will make it easier to digest for anyone looking at the page and would also help link similar projects together
  • some wish list ideas that Bram heard repeatedly OR12: better support for digital preservation, support for research data, author profile and better reporting 
  • others suggested there should be a push email or a way to easily filter all bluesky projects
  • general agreement that we should put together a proposal about bluesky/larger projects not necessarily suitable for the creation of JIRA issue  for the developers to review - Val volunteered to write and post for the Thurs/Fri discussion this week
  • Elin: suggested that there should be a "JIRA for dummies" guide - show how the DSpace community uses JIRA, the workflow, etc.
  • Bram: created a video screencast a few years ago - perhaps update and include this in JIRA guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPaz8L82DV4  
• Dublin Core update project
  • Sarah P: 1st draft of recommendations complete
  • Sarah/Amy: have several open questions -- like locking down the registry vs. leaving open - Sarah will post recommendations and relevant docs to DCAT Discussion Forum for the Thurs/Fri discussion this week

4) & 5) OR12 Developer Mtg summary and DCAT mtgs going forward

• Val: good discussions in developer mtg about collaboration - observation was made that the most productive collaborative work between DCAT and developers was generally as a result of Robin Taylor/the release coordinator  attending the DCAT mtg
• general agreement that we should find a time to overlap DCAT and developer mtg - suggested to overlap 15 min on weekly developer mtg once per month
• original thought was to move the day/time of DCAT mtg to Wed just before the developer mtg and then overlap 15 min - but this would generally mean Europe/UK members would not be able attend DCAT mtgs going forward
• Maureen: let's keep current day/time of DCAT mtg, decide together what topic we will talk w/developers about and also select specific DCAT members to attend developer mtg on the following day to represent the issue -- but all DCAT member encouraged to attend developer mtg
• likely have to limit to one topic since we only have 15 min, DCAT to let Tim know what the topic is and if there are relevant references immediately following DCAT mtg
• will start at next mtg -- Sept 4 -- DCAT mtg time unchanged -- still will be 10:00am Eastern/14:00 UTC
