2. Open discussion on how DCAT is working / how it could improve

-we have played a role in bridging the gap between user community and committers - success in 1.8 - JIRA issues w/DCAT interest seems to be addressed with higher priority

-clients appreciate DCAT the effort - feel like they have more access to developer community, see an improvement

-positive development

-couple people never participate - maybe pull them in on more narrowly defined project

-intimidated by lack of knowledge or skills - don't feel I can get involved

-discussions get lost among everything else - maybe need a more focused time to work on - have DCAT e-forum for 2 day period - Thurs & Fri

-add deadlines for tasks on the action item

3. Improving metadata support project teams formation

...

-collaboration/coordination w/DSpace committers and DCAT

---DCAT liason

---committer liason

-we are the facilitators, not the coordinators
