Developers Meeting on Weds, April 18, 2012

Agenda

Regular Items

• JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-986
  • Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-986)

Reminder: The (Face-to-Face) DSpace Developers Meeting at OR12 in Edinburgh will more than likely be on Monday, July 9.

Discussion Topics

1. Quick FYI : Tim will be out-of-office next week (April 25) at a DuraSpace All-Staff Meeting. Volunteer to lead meeting on April 25?
2. 3.0 Release Planning
   • Features to add to the "possible features" list? Other topics to discuss around 3.0?
   • Wondering if we want to schedule a "Special Topic" meeting (perhaps even via a Skype voice call) to begin to brainstorm/plan 3.0 features?
   • Current Release Team: Hardy P, Sands F, Kim S, Robin T
3. GitHub Migration
   • Tim updated DSpace + NetBeans IDE instructions for Git/GitHub. We could use similar updates for IDEA and Eclipse (any volunteers?)
   • Any thoughts on DSpace + Git Development Model thread on dspace-devel?
   • Any "best practices" we'd like to start with and add to: Development with Git
4. Other topics?

Additional Ongoing Topics

1. Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
   • Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
     • Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
     • Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
   • Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
     • Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
     • "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
     • Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
     • Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
     • Other Development Proposals
