Developers Meeting on Weds, April 21, 2010

Agenda

• Announcements
  • Tim on vacation April 22-25 (no availability), and at out-of-town meetings April 26-30 (limited availability)
    • Any volunteer to lead next week's meeting (April 28)? Likely main topics include 1.6.1 updates (and discuss any issues that need feedback/discussion), GSoC project announcements/planning, further JIRA review (if not caught up by then).
  • GSoC Update
    • Projects are being decided upon (join 'dspace-gsoc' mentors list if you want to have input). Likely 4 will be accepted. Accepted projects announced on April 26.
• Up for vote / discussion
  • JIRA Upgrade & Merger with Fedora JIRA??
    • JIRA 4.x has a much improved interface & many nice new features (we're currently on JIRA 3.13).
      • See the 4.1 and 4.0 Release notes which list the new features (with screenshots).
      • There's also a 4.x demo video and a 4.x JIRA Sandbox.
    • DuraSpace is proposing to upgrade us to JIRA 4.x and merge our JIRA with Fedora's to form a single DuraSpace JIRA.
    • DuraSpace also suggests migrating our usernames into the DuraSpace "Crowd", which means your DSpace Wiki and JIRA will share the same login/password.
      • Crowd is another Atlassian product, which provides single sign-on to all Atlassian products (e.g. Confluences, JIRA, etc.)
• Updates on DSpace 1.6.1 bug fix release (Kim Shepherd)
  • 1.6.1 Open Issues: 1.6.1 Version in JIRA
• JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-517 (and getting as far as we can).
  • Search for recent JIRA Issues

• 1.6.1 Updates
  • Kim Shepherd - "1.6.1 update: we seem to be on track.. not a great deal of code committed yet, but i'm sitting on a few patches that are just waiting for a bit more testing, as other others, so it'd be awesome to get some of these tested/reviewed further so they can be committed over the next week"
