Discussion Topics

1. 1.8.2 Updates: Any updates on fixes / changes you want to see in 1.8.2?

2. Developers Virtual Summit week: Feb 27 through Mar 2
   • Any topics you'd like to see added to the 'possible topics list'? (Again, as this is an unconference-style meeting, you can also just show up with topics)
3. Google Summer of Code 2012 - Begin to think about possible GSoC DSpace Project Ideas. Also, think about whether you'd be willing to mentor a student project (of your choice, obviously).

4. Other topics?

Additional Ongoing Topics

1. Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
   • Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
     • Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)

     • Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
     • "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)

     • Other Development Proposals
