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, October 13, 2010
Agenda
- JIRA Catch-Up (for first 20 mins or so of meeting) – starting with issue DS-638
- VOTE ON 'dspace-test' change
- It has been recommended by grahamtriggs that we should move the 'dspace-test' Unit Tests directly into the 'dspace-api' module (as they all relate directly to that API, and it brings the tests closer to the code they test)
- Initially they were only separated out because there was an expectation that tests from other DSpace packages may want to use the same mocks.
- Pere has refactored code to move 'dspace-test' contents into 'dspace-api'. He can commit it if we approve these changes.
- DSpace 1.7 Features/Updates
- DSpace Curation Framework – Has anyone had a chance to look at this code/documentation? It seems like a great candidate for 1.7, but we'd need to approve it soon if we are going to release it in 1.7. Richard Rodgers has mentioned he thinks a "Virus Scanning (ClamAV)" task can be ready for 1.7. Also hoping for a task allowing people to kick off AIP generation via Admin UI.
- (Just over) one week remains until Feature Freeze (Oct 22).
- General Updates from everyone Or other Topics to discuss.
- Unclaimed 1.7 Issues/Potential Features in JIRA
- JIRA MIGRATION SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY, 9:30-11:30AM ET
