Notes
Catch-up, Announcements
- In the recent DCAT meeting discussion of usefulness of list of repos/what they do
- The DSpace Registry http://registry.duraspace.org/registry/dspace has an option to declare customizations
- See them in "Filter by integrations/customizations"
- This group could develop a blog post/distribution regarding outreach to community to make it a regular practice to update their records

- Update on OAI conference: registrations are open for pre-conference and conference, spread the word
- There will be a presentation of the new DSpace UI
New DSpace logo
- Would like as large a comment group as possible beyond the indicated groups as a way to reach out and engage the community.
- Carol to check on parameters and get back to the group
- A 99Designs poll can be expanded to any size
- Next week will send polling information to dspace-community@googlegroups.com; 3 days to respond
Regarding UI Sketches/mock-ups
- The ui-prototype instance is accessible at: http://ui-prototype.atmire.com/
- The main "cool" thing about this prototype is the in-page loading, e.g. no page refreshes, if you click something the content updates on the page
- Not ready to be shared widely as an example of how the UI will look
- General suggestion from the tech team is that it is early to speculate on what a new UI will look like. There is support for moving forward on developing a new logo as a first step in making a new UI look sleek and modern.

Wouter Janssens (Atmire) Thank you for bringing back the Angular 2 prototype from last year's OR presentation http://ui-prototype.atmire.com/ I didn't have a chance to ask this during the call - if we are going to be using this prototype in communication with the community about DSpace 7 development, will there be an opportunity for users to log in and test out the back end as they currently can with the DSpace 6 demo http://demo.dspace.org/? Thanks!
