• Discussion Topics - If you have a topic you'd like to have added to the agenda, please just add it. 
  1. Next week's meeting (April 4) will shift to 14:00-15:00UTC.  Europeans will be joining at the same time (as they enter DST).  North Americans will join one hour earlier (back to their normal schedule prior to starting DST).
  2. 8.0 release topics
     1. Testathon & Release are delayed by one week.  New deadlines appear in the Release Schedule above.
     2. Concentration on major dependency updates. Including
        
        1. DSpace doesn't support Tomcat 10 / Jakarta EE: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9321 (Tim)
        2.   Stricter ESLint configuration: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2343  (Atmire)
        3.   Angular migrate to standalone components: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2750 (4Science)
        4. Angular 16 Upgrade: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2871 (4Science)
        5. https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2865
     3. Preparing Documentation for Testathon
        1. Finalizing the 8.0 Release Notes. 
        2. Updating the Install / Upgrade docs.
        3. Ensure **all features** that you built have official documentation!
     4. Follow-up Discussion: Replace original selector when making a component themeable: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2845
        1. Is this something we'd be interested in for 8.0 (perhaps after dependency updates above?) or perhaps a discussion for 9.0?
  3. Ongoing Discussion: High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/t4H3jJPq0Ck   
     1. Please suggest improvements/changes on our Performance Tuning DSpace docs (or send to Tim privately)
     2. Add configuration to disable inlined CSS in SSR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/2067
     3. Possibly exclude some components from SSR?  E.g. DSpace-CRIS excludes the Search component from SSR as these are not necessary for SEO.  (Need to verify this has no negative impacts on accessibility or similar.)
  4. (Other topics?)
• Board Review & assignments:
  • Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.
  • 8.0 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
  • 7.6.x Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
• Upcoming Topics: (Let us know if there are topics you want to discuss in future weeks)
  • None at this time
