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. If you are unsure how to connect to IRC, see our list of IRC Resources & Clients

This meeting schedule is also available via the DuraSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal, RSS Feed).

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, February 23, 2011

Agenda

  • Revisiting 1.7.1 Release
    • We are starting to see some 1.7.0 issues coming in, that we may want to fix sooner rather than later:
    • Some more important issues include:
      • DS-785 : SWORD deposits fail when ingest events are fired if Discovery event consumer is configured
      • DS-821 : AbstractMETSIngester creates an item before adding descriptive metadata (Causing incomplete emails to sent out when deposits occur via SWORD)
      • DS-675 : XMLUI doesn't start if the error level in the log4j.properties is set to DEBUG
    • Do we feel it's time to schedule a 1.7.1 release?
  • NEXT WEEK (MARCH 2): Tim will be out-of-office. Any volunteers to lead next week's meeting, or lead a special topic discussion?
  • Next "Special Topics" Meeting??
    • Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
      • Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
      • Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
      • Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
    • Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
