Agenda

  • (40 mins) Discussion Topics - If you have a topic you'd like to have added to the agenda, please just add it. 
    1. 7.6.x release topics - bug-fixes only.   
      1. Development process reminder
        1. Two development branches: dspace-7_x and main  & new "port to 7.x" and "port to main" labels
        2. Two project boards in GitHub: DSpace 7.6.x Maintenance and DSpace 8.0 Release
    2. 8.0 release topics
      1. Anything new to discuss?
    3. Stale issues/PRs in GitHub 
      1. v6.x is now EOL. Tim will be closing all old issues/PRs related to 6.x (and 5.x if any still open).  These are all obsolete.
      2. Should we consider enabling Github's "stale" action, which will auto-warn if a PR/issue is "stale" and then auto-close it if no further activity occurs?
        1. E.g. We could flag s as "stale" after 1-2 years.  Then automatically "close" if no more activity for an additional 2 weeks to 1 month?
        2. PRs - Flag as "stale" for 2 years.  Close after 1 month.
        3. Issues - Flag as "stale" after 1 year.  Configure message to ask to reproduce again.  Close after 2 months.
    4. Demo Site migration to Lyrasis (https://demo7.dspace.org/ and https://api7.dspace.org/server/)  
      1. Tim will work with Lyrasis to make this happen as soon as reasonably possible now that 7.6 is released.
      2. Demo site will be renamed back to "demo.dspace.org" (instead of "demo7.dspace.org"). 
      3. Old 6.x demo site:  Should we keep it around temporarily at "demo6.dspace.org"?  Or just shut it down?
    5. (Other topics?)
  • (20 mins) Board Review & assignments:
    • Backlog Board - Are there any tickets here stuck in the "Triage" column?  We'd like to keep this column as small as possible.
    • 7.6.1 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.
    • 8.0 Project Board - Assign new PRs to volunteers to code review and/or test.

Goals for 8.0

This were decided by Steering in their meeting on June 28, 2023.

  1. Move forward major features which missed 7.x. 
    1. COAR Notify support (4Science & Harvard)
    2. OpenAIRE integration with notification broker/claim service (4Science)
    3. Porting "REST-Based Quality Control Reports" from old REST API to new one. (U of Laval, Canada)
    4. Duplicate Detection in Submission ported from DSpace-CRIS (The Library Code)
  2. Include new features which empower users in the admin UI.  Make things easier for Admins.
  3. Improve documentation, training to allow for greater community contributions.  (Ease setup/install/customization, etc.)
    1. Per DSpace 7 WG meeting on June 29, 2023, this may include dependency upgrades/maintenance (Angular, Spring, Solr, Tomcat, etc).  May also include necessary code updates/refactors to ease in ongoing maintenance. 
  4. Release Goal: April 2023
  5. In parallel to 8.0, proof of concepts / planning regarding modularization (e.g. 4Science angular proposal) and OCFL/preservation storage (Lyrasis proposal to be discussed in more detail).

Goals for 7.6.1

  • Bug/security fixes only.  Release will occur when sufficient fixes have been made to warrant a release.
  • Fixes MUST be applied to the "dspace-7_x" maintenance branch (for either backend or frontend)
  • Fixes MUST be either cherry-picked to "main" branch (for 8.0) or copied into a PR against "main".
