Developers Meeting on Weds, February 26, 2014
Agenda
Regular Items
- "JIRA Backlog Hour" : Every Weds at 19:00UTC in #dspace IRC we will be working together to tackle our JIRA Backlog of "Received" tickets. This regular meeting will continue until we've been able to catch up on our backlog.
- This week we'll begin by reviewing unresolved tickets marked for 4.1 release
Discussion Topics
- Quick announcements/notes:
- We applied for Google Summer of Code. Accepted organizations will be posted on Monday, Feb 24 at 19:00UTC.
- Tim will be out next week at a DuraSpace all-staff meeting. Will not be at our meeting on Feb 26. Volunteer to lead the meeting?
- DSpace 4.1 status update - Tentative release date is Fri, Feb 28. What do we need to do to wrap up the release?
- Unresolved tickets marked for 4.1 release
- Issue for discussion (reported via IRC): Metadata for withdrawn items in XMLUI are accessible via DRI. Is this a problem at all? Or should they use private items instead? If it is a problem, can we manage to get a fix into 4.1?
- Should we consider for 4.1? It's not critical, so it could wait for 5.0 if needed.
- Other topics to bring up for discussion? Possible recent discussions/to-do's:
- "Let's talk about Features" Meeting idea (3rd meeting per month) starting in March? We did this adhoc last week with the Audio/Video Streaming (RTMP, HLS, DASH) Support discussion.
- A Release Schedule Template
- "Requiring Documentation before a PR can be merged". See: New Contribution Template
- Other topics?
