  • Updates from the DSpace "new UI initiative" (DSpace UI Prototype Challenge) and the RoadMap to DSpace 7
    • NOTE: Much of this will be discussed in the DIG2 session on Weds at 2pm. So, we don't want to rehash that exact presentation.
    • However, this might be an opportunity to dive deeper and get immediate feedback, questions or concerns from attendees
  • DSpace-CRIS discussion (led by Michele Mennielli and Andrea Bollini of Cineca): Overview of project, its latest status, and discussion of how we could start to feed this back into the "core" of DSpace
    • What features of DSpace-CRIS are of high interest to DSpace users?
    • Steering Group sees DSpace-CRIS as possibly providing DSpace with strategic and competitive advantages. How do we move this forward?
      • What parts should we investigate including in "out of the box" DSpace?
      • What parts are distributed possibly as "extensions" or "add-ons"?
  • GPG-Key-Signing: We sign our releases but we didn't build a chain of trust yet. Let's cross sign our keys to catch up. More info here (you'll need to print something before-hand if you actually want people to be able to sign your key).
  • Creating a community for repository managers/super users to share expertise.
    • Our developer meetings and DCAT discussions are often task-oriented and future-focused (next software release).  
    • We do not currently have a forum for exploring existing system features (facets, workflow, permissions, etc) and discussing best practices around those features.
    • A forum such as this could be a useful way to nurture future project contributors.
  • The DSpace 6 Service API - What is now possible
    • The new service API introduced hibernate into DSpace.  What capabilities does this infrastructure enable (performance tuning, diagnostics, etc)?
  • Metadata Authority
    • The metadatavalue table contains 2 columns: authority and confidence.  
    • What is the intended behavior of these fields?  Are these fields behaving as expected?
    • There has been some recent discussion of text vs URL's in metadata.  Could these fields provide a solution to the issues being discussed?
  • Usage Statistics - how to deal with inaccuracies such as bots.
  • Overview of the process of how new code gets into DSpace; not just the GitHub-specific process, but what discussions take place, the whole workflow, and where people can help to move code through that process.
