Agenda

Regular Items

• "JIRA Backlog Hour" : Every Weds at 19:00UTC in #dspace IRC we will be working together to tackle our JIRA Backlog of "Received" tickets. This regular meeting will continue until we've been able to catch up on our backlog.
  • NOTE: Tim will be unable to attend today cause of a meeting conflict.

   1. Is the Oracle bug squashed finally? DS-1435
2. João's DAO Implementation for DSpace (See DS-1438 and Pull #161).  Any initial thoughts, comments, suggestions?  Anyone want to chip in?
3. Other topics?

Additional Ongoing Topics

1. Brainstorming Features/Changes for future. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?

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