Meeting Schedule and Attendance

DSpace Developer meetings are a time when Committers and interested Developers can discuss new software features, upcoming releases of DSpace software, and generally plan out the roadmap of DSpace. All meetings are public. We welcome anyone and everyone to attend, speak their opinions or just listen in on the discussions. Please note that we archive all discussions (see Meeting Archives), as a service for those who are unable to attend.

DSpace Developer meetings take place on the following schedule:

  • Every Wednesday at 20:00 UTC/GMT in #duraspace IRC channel
  • All meetings are held for 1 hour (although, admittedly, discussion sometimes extends beyond that)

See the world clock to determine the meeting time where you live.

Meeting topics often include:

  • Recent updates on upcoming DSpace releases, bug fixes or features
  • Reviewing of recent reported issues/bugs/feature requests (see JIRA Cleanup Sessions for more info)
  • Occasionally we vote or make decisions on upcoming DSpace technology plans/roadmap (see Developer Voting Procedures for more info)

If you are unable to attend a meeting, please feel free to add your own notes/comments to the meeting's wiki page.

Developers Meeting on Weds, June 2, 2010

Agenda

  • Any Announcements / Additional Agenda Items?
  • GSoC updates
  • Jira Workflow updates
    • "Received" step is now functional in JIRA. Now new issues go into a "Received" state. If they are accepted (i.e. have been reviewed), they should be moved to "Open" and assigned to someone. If they are invalid (for whatever reason), they can be "Closed" directly from that "Received" state.
    • Two new notifications from JIRA (sent to dspace-devel):
    • Any other notifications/reports we want?
      • Stuart suggests a report of all issues scheduled for next release which are unresolved (sent every two weeks) to try and help us keep on schedule.
  • DSpace 1.6.2? – fix DS-584 - start-handle-server script broken and other small issues quickly?

Meeting Notes

1.6.2 will be released ASAP to resolve DS-584, Peter Dietz volunteered to be 1.7.0 Release Coordinator, recent JIRA workflow tweaks approved

  • GSoC Updates – see agenda notes above
    • Mark Diggory & Tim Donohue would like to see the Developers/Committers make a commitment to keeping up-to-date on our GSoC 2010 Projects – many/most of these projects have a goal of adding their code to Trunk in time for 1.7 release.
    • Join the new dspace-gsoc-student listserv to get involved and provide feedback. Updates will also go to dspace-devel, but this GSoC specific listserv is where the most activity will occur.
  • Jira Workflow updates
    • Changes to JIRA workflow & the two new reports received positive feedback
    • As 1.7 gets closer, we may decide to add a new report of "all issues scheduled for next release which are unresolved" (Stuart's idea)
  • DSpace 1.6.2
    • Everyone agreed we need to do a quick 1.6.2 release to resolve DS-584. DSpace 1.6.2 will only fix DS-584.
    • Kim Shepherd taking lead on release. Stuart Lewis & Keith Gilbertson will help build and test a fix for DS-584.
  • DSpace 1.7.0
    • Peter Dietz has volunteers to be the 1.7 Release Coordinator! Thanks Peter!

Action Items

  • Announce & Release 1.6.2 ASAP
  • Try to setup Handle Server (with real handle prefix donated by CNRI) on http://demo.dspace.org ASAP (Tim Donohue will do this)
  • Announce Peter Dietz as the 1.7 Release Coordinator
