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, March 16, 2011

Agenda

  • SPECIAL TOPIC MEETING: DSpace 2.0 RoadMap Proposal
    • Please see Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 for proposal details
    • We will use this meeting to discuss this general proposal, especially how it pertains to upcoming 1.8.0
  • As necessary, we can also discuss 1.7.1 upcoming release
  • DAYLIGHT SAVINGS REMINDER FOR THOSE IN USA : Daylight Savings time began last weekend, which means this meeting is now one hour LATER. See the world clock to determine what 20:00 UTC corresponds to where you live.

Meeting Notes

Discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0

  • Some concerns expressed:
    • "If the goal is a DSpace w/Fedora inside, then let's look at what that requires." Some suggestions that we need to learn more about what DSpace w/Fedora Inside means before we can move towards it in a logical fashion.
    • "There are more trade-offs, and built-up legacy revolving around developing those features than is acknowledged"
  • Need to step back and look at our priorities:
    • Overarching Goals expressed at top of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 seem to have some common agreement.
    • Goal to allow for DSpace w/Fedora Inside as an option (may not be required)
      • Still concerns over whether that has stronger architectural requirements that would require us to entirely rebuild DSpace architecture
    • Goal to allow for "Third party, non-Java user interface (i.e. php-UI)" (communicates via REST API, SOLR/Discovery, or similar)
  • Much more discussion necessary! We barely touched the surface
    • Schedule a meeting in future to go over Modularization / Refactoring projects?
    • Also more discussion at OR11 Developers Meeting and other future meetings
