- GSoC 2011
- DuraSpace will be applying (Tim is writing application)
- Fedora & DuraCloud may also take part. They will be coming up with project ideas & looking for mentors. Assuming all goes well, they hope to also have a GSoC project or two.
- Task Tasks for all of us:
- Begin brainstorming project DSpace ideas
- Locate interested mentors – who is interested this year?
- Important Dates (full timeline)
- March 18: Accepted Organizations announced
- March 28 - April 8: Student Application period
- April 22: Deadline for Ranking student applications & finalizing projects
- May 23: GSoC Begins
- August 22: GSoC Ends
- Backup Release Coordinator?
- It's been a while since we've specified a backup coordinator. But, I'd like to suggest we start it again, as it will help us all to become more comfortable with the release processes (Maven), etc.
- Release process is still too reliant on the few of us who understand it (namely Tim D & Mark D). We need to spread out this knowledge, and get us all more comfortable with Maven releases.
- Should we name a backup coordinator for 1.8, to collaborate/help Robin as necessary?
...
- Recent Minho submissions - Any volunteers to begin to investigate some of these (larger) patches, potentially for 1.8.0 inclusion?
- https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-829
- OAI-Extended (Compliancy with DRIVER and OpenAIRE Guidelines, but can be used for other purposes)
- https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-830
- Request Copy (For Embargoed or restricted access items in repositories)
- https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-831
- Recent items (For showing a list of the last items in a repository page)
- https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-832
- Statistics Addon (Our most complex, and used, addon)
- https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-829
- NEXT WEEK (MARCH 16): Special Topics Meeting on "DSpace RoadMap to 2.0". Tim will send out a proposed RoadMap later this week for us to discuss / comment on, etc. It is meant to begin what will likely be an ongoing discussion.
- DAYLIGHT SAVINGS REMINDER FOR THOSE IN USA : Daylight Savings time starts next weekend, which means our March 16th meeting will be one hour LATER (as mtg will continue to start at 20:00 UTC)
- Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
- 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.
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
