Developers Meeting on Weds, September 22, 2010
Agenda
JIRA Catch-Up
(for first 20 mins or so of meeting) – starting with issue DS-616
Search for recent JIRA Issues
DSpace 1.7
Features/Updates
Unclaimed 1.7 Issues/Potential Features in JIRA
Other updates ???
License Headers (picking up from
Last Week's discussion
)
For 1.7, we should try to switch to this smaller
DuraSpace License Header suggestion
Tim is working on getting a publicly available License file up at
http://www.dspace.org/license/
(currently not there yet, but may be soon)
We should be able to use Maven to update these license headers – see
http://aaronz-sakai.blogspot.com/2009/08/easy-license-headers-with-maven.html
Coming Soon (next week or two): JIRA Migration to
http://jira.duraspace.org/
Our existing JIRA is a rather old version – this move will also allow everyone to use the same Login for both Wiki & JIRA.
