Jan 19 : Discussion of which new entities should be in out-of-the-box =
DSpace (possibly People, Orgs?). Will begin a technical analysis of entitie=
s to add, compare to the work of DSpace-CRIS
Currently, we are looking for individual(s) interested in leading / con=
tributing to getting a 6.3 release out the door. Many "usual suspects" are =
busy with 7.x efforts.=20
Some discussion that this might be plausible to do via a 1-2 week sprin=
t, but still needs a Sprint Coordinator.
New Java Code Style=
: When should we merge code style & updated code into master branch?
These topics are ones we've touched on in the past and likely need to re=
visit (with other interested parties). If a topic below is of interest to y=
ou, say something and we'll promote it to an agenda topic!
Management of database connections for DSpace going forward (7.0 and be=
yond). What behavior is ideal? Also see notes at DSpace Database Access
In DSpace 5, each "Context" established a new DB connection. Context th=
en committed or aborted the connection after it was done (based on results =
of that request). Context could also be shared between methods if a s=
ingle transaction needed to perform actions across multiple methods.
In DSpace 6, Hibernate manages the DB connection pool. Each =
thread grabs a Connection from the pool. This means t=
wo Context objects could use the same Connection (if they are in the same t=
hread). In other words, code can no longer assume each new Conte=
xt() is treated as a new database transaction.
