      4. Releases after 7.6:  Later releases will be bug-fix only.
        1. Tim will bring to Steering the suggestion to switch post-7.6 release numbering to 7.6.1, 7.6.2, 7.6.3 (for eventual bug fix release). This clarifies that 7.6 is the final feature release, and that every later release is a minor upgrade.
        2. Code review process brainstorms: See Incentivizing Code Reviews and PR Testing
    2. Google Scholar would like to perform a detailed indexing test on a single DSpace 7 production site. Looking for a volunteer (or two)?
      1. Goal is to find any obvious indexing issues in a "well configured" DSpace 7 site (if any).  Ideally this site would be running 7.5.

  • (30 mins) Planning for next week
    • Review the Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.
    • Review the 7.6 Project Board - Assign tickets to developers & assign PRs to reviewers.
      • Paid (by DSpace project) developers must keep in mind priority. If new "high" or "medium" priority tickets come in, developers should move effort off of "low" priority tasks.
      • Volunteer developers are allowed to work on tickets regardless of priority, but ideally will review code in priority order
