• DSpace New UI Initiative and Roadmap to DSpace 7
  • How we got here (DSpace UI Prototype Challenge)
  • Why Angular 2? (Risks vs opportunities)
  • Proof of concept: https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/angular2-ui-prototype
  • DSpace 7 proposed architecture (overview)
  • How you can help!
• DCAT, Committers and Steering/Leadership: How we collaborate and make decisions together
  
  • Streamlining the ways to get new features approved and into DSpace
    • Which features should be pushed up for DCAT or Steering approval first?
  • Moving the code through technical approval process. Are there ways to streamline?

...

• DSpace-CRIS discussion (led by Michele Mennielli and Andrea Bollini of Cineca)
  • Steering Group discussion overview by Jonathan Markow.
  • Demo / Overview of DSpace-CRIS functionality
  • Brief overview of DSpace-CRIS data model / technical differences with DSpace
  • Discussion: Where does the repository end and the CRIS begin?
    
    • What features of DSpace-CRIS are of high interest to DSpace users in general?  Author Profiles?
    • Are there parts we feel should be include in "out of the box" DSpace?
    • Are there parts we should encourage distributing separately as "extensions" or "add-ons"?
    • How can we work together to move this effort forward?

What would YOU like to hear about or discuss?  Please add your ideas to this list, and we'll do our best to work them into the agendaif we have extra time during our meeting, we will pull topics from this list to discuss.

• 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.
• 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).
