• Discussion Topics - If you have a topic you'd like to have added to the agenda, please just add it. 
  1. 8.0 Final Release
     
     1. "High Priority" tickets/PRs remaining: https://github.com/orgs/DSpace/projects/27/views/1?filterQuery=label%3A%22high+priority%22
     2. Bugs reported via Testathon:
        1. https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Atestathon+is%3Aissue
        2. https://github.com/DSpace/dspace/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Atestathon+is%3Aissue
     3. Art Lowel (Atmire) mentioned we have merger issue between the "dspace-7_x" and "main" branches (at least in dspace-angular) because these branch
        1. See https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/compare/main...dspace-7_x and https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/compare/main...dspace-7_x
        2. Possible solution is:  git merge -s ours dspace-7_x into "main".  This will reset their common ancestor
  2.  OR2024
     1. Who will be around next week? (Thurs, June 6)  Do we cancel the meeting?
     2.  Developer Meet-Up & Q&A Workshop: Topics for discussion at OR2024 DSpace Developer Meet-Up and Q&A
  3. Ongoing Discussion: High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/t4H3jJPq0Ck   
     1. Please suggest improvements/changes on our Performance Tuning DSpace docs (or send to Tim privately)
     2.   Add configuration to disable inlined CSS in SSR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2067
     3. Possibly exclude some components from SSR?  E.g. DSpace-CRIS excludes the Search component from SSR as these are not necessary for SEO.  (Need to verify this has no negative impacts on accessibility or similar.)
     4. Is there a way to use Apache "mod_cache" to cache SSR generated pages?
        1. May have a negative impact on download/view statistics (in Solr Statistics) as hits to the Apache cache would not generate view events. We'd need a different way to send these view events to REST API.
  4. DSpace 7.x Maintenance
     1. PRs created to backport /api/security/csrf  REST endpoint: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9599 and https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/3063
  5. (Other topics?)
• Board Review & assignments:
  • Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.
  • 8.0 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
  • 7.6.x Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
