Developers Meeting on Weds, September 18, 2013

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.

Discussion Topics

1. Pull Request Reviews (as long as we need) - Starting with #287
2. NOTE: Tim will be out-of-town next week at a meeting. Anyone willing to lead the DSpace Developers Mtg on Sept 25?
3. vagrant-dspace: IT WORKS! (Mostly cause hpottinger has put some amazing work into it! Kudos to him.)
   
   1. Allows one to quickly (~15mins) spin up a Virtual Machine (via Vagrant) with DSpace auto-installed (latest 'master') & immediately usable via localhost:8080.
   2. Could be a great tool for 4.0 Testing (e.g. Test-a-thon) and DSpace development in general.  Give it a spin, if you want.
   3. If others find it worthwhile, this is a project we could move over to "DSpace/vagrant-dspace" in GitHub, rather than hosting it in Tim's account.
4. DSpace 4.0
   
   1. Any topics to discuss in more detail? 
5. Other topics for discussion?

Additional Ongoing Topics

1. Brainstorming Features/Changes for future. 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)
       
       • Related: Proposal to Update DC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry Latest page from DCAT with the summary & goals
     • AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-1566 and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
   • 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
