     1. (Please add any here that you'd like to discuss)
• Board Review:
  • 9.0 Project Board - Review PRs collaboratively or Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
  • Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.

  • Ongoing Discussions (temporarily put on hold until there are updates):
    1. High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3110  (This should be alleviated through several SSR related performance improvements coming in 7.6.3 and 8.1)
