    emailed msg call for participation to Ambassadors to solicit help
    -- Stuart Yeates provided some input recently
    -- Might be best to tackle this during the live Developer/contributor meeting at OR12.

    internationalization

    -msg out to Ambassadors, some comments on the wiki page, Bram to continue to solicit help at OR and perhaps around release time when it becomes more important

    metadata projects

    -Sarah P., Amy, Maura Valentio (works with Sue Kunda) to work on updating Dublin Core project (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Updating+the+Qualified+Dublin+Core+registry+in+DSpace+to+the+latest+standards+of+the+DCMI), Val to see if Maureen Walsh would be willing to help, suggested steps 1) document specifically what needs to change, 2)  forward proposed changes to Tim and he will put it on a developer mtg agenda,  and 3)  project team to attend developer's mtg to discuss  

    Bram noted that new resource for sharing XMLUI themes has picked up momentum, 3 institutions have already shared: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Repository+of+XMLUI+themes

    4) discussion this week?

    Top DCAT feature/improvement priorities, led by Val

    5) new issues

    none

    Val:how we might get some momentum going in the community

    Amy: will we overwhelm developers by pushing issues? possibly, but we should have discussion anyways so we can get some visibility on the priorities

    Jim: embargo feature progressing as scoped, some feedback initially, not much last month

    Bram: should we reframe DCAT's role as more of a think tank about feature reqmts - develop a comprehensive set of reqmts and outline what DCAT sees is missing, try to get cmtrs interested and solicit community participation, but really focus on scoping reqmts

    Tim: really need to get communicate new features/improvement discussion somehow to those people that manage developers - so that if they are aware / interested they can make their developer time available 

    Val: suggest we work on communicating better / more simply, create an 'executive ' summary of the top DCAT priorities

    -identify what 3 features DCAT views as most important / revalent for the most number of DSpace users - create hit list, include in presentation at OR

    -Claire suggest that these are emailed out regularly - simply expressed/executive summary

    -some examples that pop to mind:

    --Bram: altmetrics, e.g. measuring alternative forms of impact/web usage of resources. for example, hooking DSpace up to http://total-impact.org/

    --Bram: better integration between DSpace and social media

    --Bram: exposing dspace as linked data

    --Bram: ORCID integration http://orcid.org

    -Bram also recommended we include encouragement in our community communications for everyone to vote/comment in JIRA on specific features

    -Val nominated this for our DCAT discussion this week - identify the top priorities (big or small, but it would be good to identify one that has a chance of getting in for 3.0) -Sue: 1148 - Sue to ping developers on the list or during their mtg to find out if issue can be worked on
