- GSoC 2011 Planning
- GSoC 2011 Accepted Projects
- Students begin coding on May 24th
- Do we want to recommend using Git/GitHub for projects? (just to get our mentors more experienced with it?)
- Mentors & Students (and others interested in these GSoC projects), please join our mailing lists:
- duraspace-gsoc : Public list (anyone can join), but mostly for Mentor & Student discussions, public feedback, cross-project collaboration opportunities, etc.
- duraspace-gsoc-mentors : Private List (Mentors/Admins only) for GSoC administrative purposes only
- Other Topics?
- (Time Permitting) Followup on some Async Discussions (both from last week and from recent email threads):
- Tim & Mark D had a discussion about potentially reorganizing the SVN "Modules" area into more specific "groupings", to make it more clear which modules/projects are "supported" and which may be experimental, etc. Would like to consider possibly reorganizing into these general 'groupings':
- "Sandbox" - all modules which are still experimental (or very outdated?) should likely move to existing SVN Sandbox area
- "Core Modules" (may need a better name) - These are fully supported modules which actually are released as part of out-of-the-box DSpace.
- "Extension Modules" (may need a better name) - These are modules which should be considered "more stable" than those in Sandbox. But, they are not released as part of out-of-the-box DSpace (rather they can be installed separately as "addons" or "extensions" to DSpace).
- The idea would be that "Sandbox" and "Extensions" areas are open to any/all developers to take part in development. But that the "Core" area is likely managed more like current SVN TRUNK (where you need to be a "Committer" or "Highly Trusted Developer" to commit code there).

- Please Sign up if you are planning to attend!
...
- Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
- Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
- Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
- Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
- Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
- Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
- UPDATE: Jeff Trimble will lead a discussion on this in April or May. Still working on date.
- More discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 before OR11
- In meantime, feel free to forward thoughts on to Tim or everyone (via dspace-devel or dspace-commit).
