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 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, November 9, 2011

Meeting is one hour earlier in the USA/Canada

Please note that because Daylight Savings Time has ended in USA/Canada, the meeting is one hour earlier than it used to be. So, now 20:00 UTC translates to 3:00PM EST.

Agenda

Regular Items

  1. The return of JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-886
  2. Congratulations on 1.8.0 Release! (Thanks to Robin Taylor!)

Discussion Topics

  1. Slight format change to these meetings
    • This is a new "meeting template" we can use for every meeting. I'd like to encourage us all to enter items into the weekly agenda or post "status updates" on anything you feel may be of interest to others.
    • The goal is to avoid using up too much meeting time for general "status updates", and keep more time for Discussion or Q&A. Instead, everyone is encouraged to post any important status updates before the meeting begins. That way folks can ask questions or clarification during the meeting if necessary.
  2. New DSpace Developers Discussion List page for us to keep track of topics needing discussion (and volunteers willing to lead that discussion). Please add to this list or update it!
  3. What do we want to call the next version of DSpace (3.0, 2012, 12, something else)? (taking an item from the above list)
    • Subtopic: Do we want to simplify our version numbering scheme? Move towards "major.minor" rather than "major.minor.subminor"? E.g. If we had a "3.0" version, it's bug fix releases would be numbered "3.1", "3.2", etc. The next major release would be called "4.0".

Individual Status Updates

If you have status items to report, please enter them below at least 1 hour before the meeting starts.

Tim:

  • At our last DuraSpace all-staff meeting, as a group we discussed ways to try and "get more out of online meetings". This general meeting template was generated as a way to keep meetings 'useful', and attempt to keep more time for discussion & less time for "general status updates" which can be just as easily reported 'offline'.

Meeting Notes

Next DSpace version will likely be 3.0 (at least based on those in attendance
