Agenda

Regular Items

1. JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-951

Discussion Topics

1. Quick Announcements:

     • Discussion will take place via Skype (audio-only) or phone – see page above for connection/call-in details
     • #duraspace IRC will be used as a "backchannel" – a way to share links, take notes, or enhance current discussions.
   • 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).
     • Post your ideas to wiki at: DSpace Summer of Code Ideas
2. 3.0 Release
   • Still need a "team leader" for our Release Team:
     • Current Release Team (all volunteered in Fall): Hardy P, Sands F, Kim S, Robin T
   • Do we want to start discussing some potential features folks are working on? (Others may come up during next week's Summit as well)
3. 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)
     • Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
   • Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
     • Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
     • "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
     • Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)

     • Other Development Proposals
