Review ideas on DGOC logistics going forward
- team name
- since we've evolved our primary purpose (help w/reviewing JIRA requests and facilitating community discussions) we've resolved to retire DGOC (served it's purpose over the last few years working on big projects)
- current group members will now join the "Community Advisor Team" or CAT-->with new focus on facilitating discussions on new feature requests
- meeting/s time - only one time per month
- moving to only one live mtg time a month - top allow for more dynamic discussions: alternate time each month - 9am/14:00 or 3pm/20:00
- participation
- resolved that we would do the bulk of our new feature reviews outside the mtg
- each week, 1 CAT member will start discussion amongst CAT about a JIRA issue of their choice - summarize issue and proposed CAT recommendations for feedback
- other CAT members make comments asynchronously
- CAT issue discussion leader for that wk will post summary to JIRA issue and, if issue ranks as highly relevant/broad community interest and high priority the issue will be taken to the broader DSpace community for full discussion - confirming interest, outlining requirements, soliciting those interest in working on project
- team members
- currently have 12 DGOC members -- only 5 or 6 active because of timezone issues
- we will reduce CAT membership to only those who are / will be actively participating in discussions - target of 8 active members (need more active Europeans and/or Asians)
- resolved that we would do the bulk of our new feature reviews outside the mtg
- proposed mtg together w/cmtrs at OR11 - join their cmtr mtg
- team name
