125 minDSpace 7.0 Beta Schedule

The Steering Committee voted to recommend the following Beta Release schedule for DSpace 7.0 for approval by Leadership.

The proposal is based on the (early) results of a new estimation and priorization spreadsheet for DSpace 7 that was compiled with input from Atmire, 4Science and RCAAP. The prioritization of features used a scale from 1-5, where a feature with level 1 is required for the system to function and 5 is a feature that would be nice to have but isn't required to be part of DSpace 7.0.

If the first four betas are completed as predicted, then the 5th Beta will be added to Release 7.0. If the first four Betas are not on schedule, Beta 5 features will be added to Release 7.1.

  • Start Jan 1 2019
  • Includes everything in “Critical Features” tab, and ONLY the Entities and OpenAIRE features from “Features to Discuss” tab.

215 minEnd-of-year Fundraising

If we move quickly, we have the opportunity to do an end-of-year request for unused funds to support DSpace 7.0 development.

Proposal: Form a small (3-4 person) task force to develop messaging and prospect list for Leaders to use to make contacts prior to end of year. Lyrasis can provide resources to assist with this effort.

This initiative is dependent on:

  • approval of a Beta Release plan for DSpace 7.0
  • immediate action of Task Force to pull together necessary materials
  • willingness/ability of Leaders to schedule time during the first 2 weeks of December to make contacts

315 minVoting seat for home organization Lyrasis

Reconsider proposal for transition home organization ex officio seat on Leadership to a voting seat.

"As a stakeholder in the success and sustainability of the DSpace community, we propose the organizational home seat on the Leadership Group transition to a voting seat. We propose the seat be available to a representative of the organizational home for as long as the relationship between community and organizational home is active."

Currently, Erin Tripp is serving as the organizational home representative on the Leadership Group, with Laurie Arp serving as interim.
