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, alternating between 15:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC (every other week) in #duraspace IRC channel
- To determine which time we are meeting at during a given week, please view the DuraSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal, RSS Feed)
- Also, see the world clock (for 15:00 UTC or 20:00 UTC) to determine the meeting time where you live. If you are unsure how to connect to IRC, see our list of IRC Resources & Clients
- All meetings are held for 1 hour (although, admittedly, discussion sometimes extends beyond that)
You can also subscribe to the meeting schedule 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.
NOTE: Any developer is also welcome to ask questions or brainstorm ideas with Tim Donohue during the DSpace Office Hours.
