All meetings will be recorded. Recordings and brief/summary notes will appear here after the meeting

• Schedule reminder (see first topic above).

  • DSpace 7 team discussed that we'd need to have all code ready by two weeks prior to "Preview" release.
  • So, assuming Preview release is end of January (Jan 31), that'd mean all code (including our Entities) work needs to be ready by Jan 17

• We should start drafting REST Contract for Entities efforts

  • Tim just created a "configurable_entities" branch in REST Contract project: https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/tree/configurable_entities
• PR reviews/updates
  • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/315 -  ready to merge
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2269 - Paulo Graça to review again
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2270 - Paulo Graça  and Alexander Sulfrian to review again
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2288 - Ready to merge
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2300 - Needs more discussion / thought.  The new terminology to replace "Entities" is awkward, at best.  All should brainstorm better terminology on the PR itself.
  • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2302 - Paulo Graça to review again
  • New Angular PR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/340 (All should review)
• Upcoming weeks / work
  • Tim is out Dec 20 - Jan 2
  • Everyone else out next week as well
• Planning for Preview Release.  Main TODOs (from Atmire)
  
  • Display of Relations - deciding when to display a search vs pageable list vs comma-separated list.
    • Maybe we can simplify this for Preview release and just always display a pageable list??
  • Mixing plain text metadata values & Entities in one display.  For example, a list of authors that includes plain text & entities
    • HIGHEST PRIORITY of these TODOs listed
  • Ability to Manage relationships from the Admin UI and/or Submission UI
    • Dependent on Submission code being merged (scheduled for early Jan), and Admin UI (scheduled for Jan 10)
    • Unlikely to be ready for Preview release
• Add a planning section for Entities work to our DSpace 7 Planning Spreadsheet (TODO for Tim Donohue)
• When will this working group merge with DSpace 7 WG?
  • At the earliest, once the Entities work is in the master branch(es) of DSpace 7 codebase.
  • However, if we find it's useful to continue with two meetings (to allow more concentrated discussion on Entities needs), we may decide to continue with two Working Groups.  But, the two groups will need to be in closer communication.
• Marketing of DSpace 7 Entities
  • Bring question to DSpace Steering Group.  Has marketing group been established? How can/should we help with Entities marketing in time for DSpace 7 Preview release.
• Next Meeting
  • Our next meeting with be Tues, January 8 at 16UTC  (We will be in a different meeting room, as DCAT is using the DSpace Meeting Room at that time)
    • Topics include:  Updates on open PRs.  Updates on DSpace 7 Entities Marketing (how to help with marketing for Preview release).  Planning for Preview release.
    • Future topics: touch back on discussions from Atmire writeups on Author Profile use case and Journal Hierarchy use case.  Some unanswered questions remain that we tabled for post-Preview release.
