1. DSpace 7 at OR2019 : OR2019 was a great success. Most of the presentation slides are now on the wiki (with the few outstanding coming soon)

2. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 7 Status Updates for this week (from DSpace 7 Working Group (2016-2023))

   1. DSpace 7 Preview Release is out the door!

3. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 6.x Status Updates for this week

   1. 6.4 will surely happen at some point, but no definitive plan or schedule at this time.  Please continue to help move forward / merge PRs into the dspace-6.x branch, and we can continue to monitor when a 6.4 release makes sense.
4. Upgrading Solr Server for DSpace (Mark H. Wood )
   
   1. Auto-reindexing in Solr: 

      Jira
      server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-3658

      
      
      1. Should this only happen for major releases?  Should it be configurable?  Can we find a more precise trigger?  When do we need to reindex?
   2. Dump/restore tool for the authority core.  

      Jira
      server DuraSpace JIRA columns key,summary,type,created,updated,due,assignee,reporter,priority,status,resolution serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-4187

        Or should we use solr-export-statistics?
