  • Technology decisions are made by committers, changing governance to get more aspects/feedback of the community involved, e.g. DCAT, administrators, funders etc.  So the managers and decision makers can get support for change.
  • Bram, great to tackle more ambitious goals. 
    • Reflections on DSpace 2 work, of which some did not make it into core, what is the biggest difference with this approach. 
    • Tim not directly involved in DSpace 2 work, seems in retrospect that the communication around DSpace 2 wasn't great and therefore not integrated back into core.

    • Tim there will be a product plan for this work to move it forward. 
    • Bram Dspace 2 new data model but could not fit it in as an evolution, and upgrades were not considered.
