Upcoming communications Beta 3 may be released this month Other communications?	Heather, Carol	Aiming for DSpace 7 Beta 3 release at end of June or beginning of July Timeline slipping and working to correct Perhaps changing/eliminating Beta 3 features to speed up release Protocol on releases has been that Tim sends announcement and we pick it up, light edit, Carol Minton Morris sends through LYRASIS channels Bram Luyten (Atmire) will create lightning videos of key Beta 3 features to include Maureen Walsh presented at OR2020 Repository Rodeo about DSpace 7, but no mention of planned final production release date Heather presented at SMIRC: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HitRw6XB4Dmxku7BIZCiyhxBQm1e0L6XY6K3K0Hx2vs/edit?usp=sharing Michele Mennielli working on Spanish versions of DSpace 7 presentations with Bram Luyten (Atmire) Susanna Mornati (4Science)and others
Planning for DSpace 7 final release: Tim confirmed that testathon will happen as it has in past releases. That will provide some amount of time to create materials and have them translated in preparation for a release at the same time. Where do we start in creating a workflow for this process? What can this group do now, and what do we need others to do?	Heather, Carol	National User Group coordinators will assist in making the release truly global Translations and timing on hold because the final release date is unknown Translating important wiki content into Spanish is underway by the Spanish-speaking user group What language plug-ins are available for the wiki? Plug-ins are available and can be installed This article from Nov 2019 comes from the Atlassian support pages https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-can-i-translate-confluence-page-content-345637421.html Glossary pages are needed to support translations Testathons are scheduled about 2 weeks before release (varies) Need to consider how to use the DSpace 7 endorsements we collected Encourage upgrades of current DSpace 6 to DSpace 7. Could we launch a communication campaign, who could we reach? Possible opportunity to look for an upgrade to 6 migration grant Long timeline; bring to internal DSpace meetings Catalyst Fund application process has concluded for 2020 Possible promotion of Cat Fund to DSpace community for 2021 for innovative DSpace uses Campaign for upgrade to 6 inappropriate at this time Possible source for immediate migration from early versions of DSpace to 6 or 7 funding: https://www.imls.gov/grants/apply-grant/notices-funding-opportunities General upgrade to DSpace 6 campaign so that you can easily upgrade to DSpace 7? Upgrade to DSpace 6 is a good way to prepare for DSpace 7 Users likely to wait for DSpace 7 Many issues: languages and more DSpace 6.4 is a good and stable release but UI advances are limited Carol Minton Morris Heather Greer Kleinto work on announcement Providers could put an upgrade "package" together? Unlikely, existing customizations are an issue with upgrades, expensive How to help users wrap their brains around the new UI possibilities? Possible DSpace 7 implementation stumbling block. What needs to be considered philosophically?
