Code Contributions: Generally, our working group follows the documented DSpace Code Contribution Guidelines and Code Style Guide.
- We also have our own DSpace 7 Working Group Processes document to provide additional details about our meeting structure, code contribution & review processes, etc.
Join one of our weekly meetings (see below). Meetings tend to be hands-on, but we welcome newcomers.
Join our Slack channel(s) (see below). We use Slack as a way to stay in touch each day (between our weekly meetings)
Developers are welcome to jump in and claim tickets for either Angular UI or REST API. We maintain a list of easier tickets specifically for new developers to learn about the contribution process (If none of these tickets look interesting, or the list is getting small, please get in touch and we'll find an easy task for you to start with)
- REST API tickets labeled "easy"
- Angular UI tickets labeled "difficulty: low"
DSpace 7 Community Sprints : We run regular, public development sprints with anyone who wants to contribute. No prior experience with DSpace 7 is necessary, and it's a great opportunity to learn DSpace 7 in a "hands on", collaborative environment (Sprint Coaches are available for questions).
Get in touch with the team via Slack. We'd be glad to talk about other ways to contribute

Meeting Times & Communication Channels

Meetings: We meet every week on Thurs (see schedule below), using the DSpace Zoom Meeting Room (using Slack as a backchannel). Anyone is welcome to join these meetings.
- Upcoming schedule can be found on the DSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal version)
- Meetings typically last one hour. We post a weekly reminder on our Slack channels (see below), along with a brief agenda.
- Meeting notes are all available below.
- Meeting Room: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/my/dspace (For telephone options, see DSpace Meeting Room)
Slack: Between meetings, we encourage usage of Slack to keep in touch and ask questions. If you have not yet joined the DSpace Slack, you may request an invite. All are welcome on Slack.
- In Slack, we primarily use two channels:
  - #dev-sprint: For ongoing, day-to-day (between meetings) updates on DSpace 7 activities
  - #angular-ui : For DSpace 7 (Angular) UI updates, discussions and/or questions.
  - #rest-api : For DSpace 7 REST API updates, discussions and/or questions.
Email: We use standard DSpace lists to communicate updates, meetings, etc. We are primarily using dspace-devel (our developers mailing list) and Slack for these communications. Once we get further along, regular updates will also be announced on dspace-community (and other lists).
