• By next Friday, we expect that all feature PRs have had a basic review/test, to allow developers enough time to work in feedback
• If you know you won't be able to review it, please let Tim know
• See the release schedule above

Discussion Topics

• The two DSpace-CRIS potential merger planning groups are still getting up to speed
  • If you're interested in reading the meeting notes, please see link in agenda
• 9.0 release
  • Bootstrap 5 was merged; please check if there are no merge conflicts that were created by accident
  • Next dependency update is Angular 18 PR; as of today it has been updated so that it can be tested and reviewed; Tim and Giuseppe will test
    • There is currently an end-to-end test issue, but Atmire is working on it
  • Will need to get to Migration to Angular Control Flow syntax after that (#3997)
    • Need to get thorough testing going going as this touches a lot of pages. 
    • May slip the March 14 deadline, as it depends on what comes before it
  • Migration to NX & refactor into libraries
    • Not sure if this will make it into 9.0, as it depends on the other three getting in quickly
    • If it doesn't make it into 9.0, we should get it prepped so that it can go into 10.0

...

• Would love to hear feedback on High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR from sites who have upgraded to 8.1 or 7.6.3
