Discussion Items 

1) Debrief 1) Debrief on DSpace Steering Group Mtg

• Maureen and Sarah attended SG mtg as part of the Tech Planning Group (group that took over work from Vision group - collected use cases that reflect feedback from survey)
• SG mtg to talk through a plan for governance 
  • agreed on structure and what membership levels mean for governance 
  • determined who is is on will be in Leadership Group, Steering Group, etc.
  • also determined permanent working groups: DCAT (advisory group to SG , TPG, PPG), Technology Planning Group (TPG), Product Planning Group (PPG), Implementation Group (IG)
    • roles to be formalized and  
    • membership not a reqmt to be on a working group - reqmts for DCAT membership shouldn't change - willingness to participate, DSpace membership not reqd
    • DCAT will serve as advisory group to SG, TPG, PPG, IG
    • chair of DCAT will sit as an exec ex officio member of the SG discussion
  • SG wants to hire project manager - who will chair PPG
  • Implications for development -  DSpace 5 will develop as normal - incremental changes/ad hoc changes contributed by individuals; but there will be a more directed process for DSpace 6 – with dedicated resources to work on directed development projects
  • SG also working on mission for DSpace - consistent with vision group work   
• SG has made the following requests of DCAT for now
  • DCAT has been asked to gather use cases from community by Sept,  TPG currently the TPG only looked at use cases that came out from the survey
    • what is DSpace going forward - anything/everything on the table for consideration (do we need a 3rd user interface? brand new architecture?)
    • what are the end to end functionality needs (no prescribe prescribing HOW something should be implemented – but identify what needs there are in the community)
    • one of the key areas : all of use cases around metadata and plans for metadatawould be about metadata – identify use cases / how best to address metadata needs
    • use cases gathered should be gathering use cases consistent with the recent vision that was developed and agreed to - institutional repositories / open access / etc
    • what are core use cases integration cases vs. integration use cases
    • agree on which prominent use cases will NOT be addressed by core DSpace
      • i.e, not a collaboration tool for work in process / unfinished work (data or otherwise) 
  • project manager - to chair PPG 
  • DSpace 5 will develop as normal - incremental changes contributed ad hoc by individuals; but there will be a more directed process for DSpace 6 – with dedicated resources to work on directed development projects
  • SG also working on mission for DSpace - consistent with vision group work   
  • by OR14, rewrite the "charge" (mission/goal/activities) of DCAT to include the governance - codify what is the charge of this working group
    • will DCAT be able to choose some of the work we do? yes, we should be able to help bring
    thing sto
    • issues to the
    attendtion
    • attention of SG - both respond to requests and initiate discussions 
    reqmts for DCAT membership shouldn't change - willingness to participate, DSpace membership not reqd 
    • DCAT represents the non-technical part of the community -
    acknolweeged
    • acknowledged that there is a difficulty in involving those from Asia/other time zones - how can we
    integerate
