Developers Meeting on Weds, March 7, 2012

Agenda

Regular Items

• JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-956
  • Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-956)

General Reminders

• The Deadline for the DSpace User Group proposals for OR12 is end of day TOMORROW. If you are doing something unique in your DSpace (and I know all the committers are), consider submitting a proposal for a talk – just a paragraph or two is fine!

Discussion Topics

1. GSoC 2012 DSpace Ideas - We have a total of 0 (zero) ideas up so far for DSpace. That's no good!
2. GitHub Migration – it is time to start planning next steps! Who wants to help?
3. Virtual Summit - any more feedback?
   • Very successful meeting, with a nice list of "Actionable Takeaways"
   • Any thoughts on how many times would we like to hold this Summit per year? Once (Jan/Feb)? Twice (Jan and May/June)? Three times (Jan, May & Sept)?
4. 3.0 Release
   • We still need a "team leader" for our Release Team.
     • Current Release Team (all volunteered in Fall): Hardy P, Sands F, Kim S, Robin T
   • Some potential features (from the Summit)
     • Versioning! (from Dryad project)
     • External Identifier Service (again from Dryad Project)
5. 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)
     • Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
     • Other Development Proposals
