...

1. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 7 Status Updates for this week. 

   1. DSpace 7 Working Group is where the work is taking place
   2. DSpace 7 Dev Status spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18brPF7cZy_UKyj97Ta44UJg5Z8OwJGi7PLoPJVz-g3g/edit#gid=0

2. (Ongoing Topic) DSpace 6.x Status Updates for this week

   1. 6.4 will surely happen at some point, but no definitive plan or schedule at this time.  Please continue to help move forward / merge PRs into the dspace-6.x branch, and we can continue to monitor when a 6.4 release makes sense.
3. Brainstorming ideas for future DSpace Developer Show and Tell Meetings
4. [Follow-up] How to encourage / credit folks who do Code Reviews? (Tim Donohue)
   1. No major updates this week.  Investigating GitHub GraphQL to query for "PR Creators", "PR Reviewers", etc.  and then parsing/compiling those JSON results into "Top 10" lists (currently playing with "jq", a json command-line parser).  Final display of results yet to be determined.
   2. Good promise here, but nothing fully "working" yet (haven't had as much time as hoped to dig into this). Should (hopefully) have code/queries to share by next week?
5. Brainstorms / ideas (Any quick updates to report?)
   
   1. Bulk Operations Support Enhancements (from Mark H. Wood)
   2. Curation System Needs (from Terrence W Brady )
6. Tickets, Pull Requests or Email threads/discussions requiring more attention? (Please feel free to add any you wish to discuss under this topic)
   1. Quick Win PRs: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+review%3Aapproved+label%3A%22quick+win%22
   2. Need for a DSpace 5.10 release? (Terrence W Brady)
