  • Any Announcements / Additional Agenda Items?
  • DSpace Global Outreach Committee (DGOC) updates
    1. Have moved all their meeting notes to the Wiki: DSpace Global Outreach Cmte
    2. They will be keeping an eye on, and reviewing "New Features" listed in JIRA
      • Will try to help add details/requirements for any new feature requests that need more details added.
      • Will also be encouraged to add new feature requests (with requirements) into JIRA for a developer to pick up and work on.
    3. DGOC Potential "Quick Win" features for 1.7 or 1.8? See their Feature requests - distilled page
      • The feature ideas came from the DGOC group. Val & Tim helped distill this list down from a larger list. None of these features are suggested as being definite for DSpace 1.7 (or even 1.8). But, if there's a feature that is of interest to you, feel free to "claim" it in JIRA.
  • DuraCloud Pilot Program Updates (and DSpace integration work)
    • FYI: DuraCloud project is starting a broader pilot program in Sept. They are looking for basic "integrations" between DuraCloud & DSpace.
    • Therefore, some DSpace-based early adopters will be looking to use a "very early, pre-alpha" version of 1.7 (essentially mostly with the AIP Backup and Restore functionality in place).
    • Tim will be tagging a "duracloud pilot" release of DSpace in early Sept specifically for this pilot group. They will be warned that it is essentially an unstable, very early version of 1.7 (which likely will also be missing many eventual 1.7 features).
  • GSoC Projects wrapping up
    • Unit Testing Framework voted last week to be added to DSpace 1.7
    • What about REST API – can we come to a consensus?
  • DSpace 1.7 Features/Updates
    • Tentative Features List: DSpace Release 1.7.0 Notes – Our "self imposed" deadline was to finalize major features by mid-August
      • Any updates needed? – Let Peter Dietz know if you have a new feature to consider, or if a feature listed there is definitely out-of-scope.
    • AIP Backup and Restore is being prepared for addition to Trunk in near future (next few weeks)
      • Will post a "patch" detailing major changes, most significant changes to Crosswalks/Packagers (beyond that, tried to keep changes minimal)
  • JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-533 (and getting as far as we can).
