Minutes
1) News/Other
Amy: what is does citation metadata mean to you? Maybe here's a resource: http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/
Bram: should DCAT help with updating language packs for 1.8?
- current packages: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/I18nSupport
- many are not updated for 1.8
- might be that it is to challenging to figure out what specifically needs updating
- Bram to consult w/committers on what files need to be translated, touch base with original authors as well as the DSpace Ambassadors to get updates made
- DSpace Developers' Virtual Summit - periodic mtg for developers to discuss improvements for DSpace
2) "Action Item" status
- going forward, once the agenda is published (and before the mtg), everyone should update the status of their "Action Items"
3) SPARC DSUG meeting feedback - whether or not you are attending, what topics would you like to hear about at a user group mtg?
4) OR12 DSUG topic feedback - whether or not you are attending, any feedback/suggestions on mtg content look
5) Google Summer of Code possible projects, last year's project summary
- brainstorming on potential student projects - metadata improvements, easy upgrade script DS-456, others?
6 & 7) JIRA Issue Discussions
- going forward, all selected DCAT JIRA issues will be updated in JIRA, rather than in DCAT mtg notes
- all discussion leaders for any previously selected open JIRA issues should update JIRA w/the most current info
- if there is something more/new to be discussed or if we need to brainstorm on how to find developer resources, etc, it should be brought up during the monthly Thurs/Fri discussions or placed on mtg agenda
- we will no longer include any status updates in DCAT mtg notes - not public or dynamic enough
- DCAT members should schedule new issues discussions/additional issue discussion on the DCAT Discussion Schedule page - this page also includes an index of all DCAT selected issues
LAST TIME THE DETAIL BELOW WILL APPEAR IN THE MTG NOTES - GOING FORWARD DETAIL SHOULD BE PUT INTO JIRA
Old JIRA issue update
- DS587 tombstone (Sarah):discussion forum,JIRA
- status as of last mtg:
- some disagreement on tombstone reasons, what metadata would be displayed - discussion came up too late (Jose's version vs. Richard's)
- still trying to get XMLUI tombstone reason for withdrawn item in to 1.8
- status as of last mtg:
- DS638 virus checking/check file format (Elin):discussion forum,JIRA
- virus checking is in 1.8, file format checking is written and tested, but did not make it into 1.8
- status as of last mtg:
- dependent on curation task work that MIT, not quite done, trying to follow same format for virus checking
- can do file format checking - but NOT at submission
- Robin to create a separate JIRA issue for file format checking at submission-->DS-1093
- DS164 deposit interface for modifying input forms.xml (Jim): discussion forum, JIRA https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-164
- GSoC project - do away with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml and instead create an Admin UI that allows repo managers reorganize the submission UI
- GSoC student wants to continue work on project
- sample screenshot wiki page
- status as of last mtg:
- some muddling w/an adjacent GSoC project - Jim to resurrect original request and propose next steps
- Per Robin - suggest break this issue into smaller tasks, starting with (It may be that there are already existing issues for some #2 looks to be addressed by DS-464)
- 1. A screen or screens to allow the administrator to edit the format of the metadata collection screens
- 2. The ability to select the type of an item and collect appropriate metadata accordingly
- GSoC project - do away with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml and instead create an Admin UI that allows repo managers reorganize the submission UI
- DS-560 XMLUI News in config dir (Bram): discussion forum, JIRA
- XMLUI interface is not as useful as JSPUI for news config, Bram proposed to have a more flexible front page
- Do we have a DCAT consensus? If so, does it still make sense to hold a community-wide discussion for both feedback and developer resource identification?
- going back to the priority of just making XMLUI news editable - Bram
- 14/2: put a ping on JIRA to ask if a developer wants to take this on
- DS-456 create easy upgrade scripts (Iryna): discussion forum, JIRA
- no developer assigned yet
- propose writing scripts for the most common database/operating sys
- Database: PostgreSQL 264, MySQL 43, Oracle 39, Other 6
- Operating Sys: Linux 224, Microsoft Windows 88, UNIX 28, Solaris 22, HPUX 2
- Michael to attach scripts to JIRA issue that they have developed
- hold community-wide discussion/solicitation of other upgrade scripts already written or interested parties -->look at Iryna's announcement

4) discussion on current JIRA issues
- DS-456 create easy upgrade scripts (Iryna): discussion forum, JIRA
