• Discussion Topics - If you have a topic you'd like to have added to the agenda, please just add it. 
  1. New behavior of "port to dspace-7_x" and "port to main" labels
     1. When a PR with one of these labels is merged, a GitHub action will attempt to auto-port that merged PR to the other branch.
     2. For example: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2363 and https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2415
  2. Demo Site Migration:
     1. New demo site available for testing at https://preview.dspace.org/ 
     2. Please let Tim Donohue know if you notice obvious issues.  Should have identical settings to https://demo7.dspace.org except  that it doesn't support Shibboleth at this time.
     3. PR necessary for new demo site: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9004
  3. 7.6.x release topics - bug-fixes only.   
     
     1. Any topics to discuss?
  4. 8.0 release topics
     1. Any topics to discuss?
  5. Ongoing discussions. Any brief updates / brainstorms from anyone? (Feel free to also add thoughts to the pages themselves)
     1. Angular : library-based architecture proposal
     2. DSpace Preservation-enabled Storage via OCFL (post-8.0)
     3. Tabled developer discussion (from July 27 mtg): Should we allow "Making ___ component themeable" PRs to be added to 7.6.1?  They are not exactly bug fixes, but do allow for additional theming capabilities. For example: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2362
  6. (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.
  • 7.6.1 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
  • 8.0 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.

...

• Bug/security fixes only.  Release will occur when sufficient fixes have been made to warrant a release.
• Fixes should have two Pull Requests (exceptions may be made for very small fixes)
  1. A PR against the "dspace-7_x" maintenance branch to apply to the next 7.6.x release.
  2. A PR against the "main" branch to fix this same bug for the 8.0 release.
  3. (NOTE: Once one PR is reviewed & approved, the other will be merged at the same time.)

Notes

• Discussed "New behavior of "port to dspace-7_x" and "port to main" labels" as noted above
• Asked developers to test new (preview) versions of demo site:  Primarily reviewed the 7.6.1 board: https://githubpreview.dspace.com/orgs/DSpace/projects/29Future Topic: Discussion around whether we should allow "Making component themeable" PRs in 7.6.1? They are not exactly bug fixes, but they do allow for more control over the DSpace 7 UI for theming.  For example: org/ (runs off dspace-7_x Docker scripts) and https://githubsandbox.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2362dspace.org (runs off main Docker scripts)
  • Likely to be officially released in mid Aug once Tim returns from vacation
• Reminder about "ongoing discussions" listed above
• Reviewed 7.6.1 board and assigned PRs for reviewFor now, we've decided to table this discussion until more of the team is back (likely end of Aug or early Sept).  Existing PRs which make components themeable will be temporarily delayed until a decision is made.
