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

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. Upgrading Solr Server for DSpace (Mark H. Wood )
   
   1. PR https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2058
   2. Auto-reindexing in Solr: 

      Jira
      server DuraSpace JIRA serverId c815ca92-fd23-34c2-8fe3-956808caf8c5 key DS-3658

      
      
      1. Should this only happen for major releases?  Should it be configurable?  Can we find a more precise trigger?  When do we need to reindex?
   3. Docker configuration for external Solr
      1. https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/DSpace/commit/7115173d61776dd2455690518f5c9809cd0f28d4
         
         1. The Dockerfile creates a new solr instance with 4 cores.  It then overlays the schema and config changes in PR 2058.
         2. I attempted to create my branch so that I could create a PR back to Mark's branch, but some other changes from master seem to be showing up if I create a PR.
      2. This will need a small change to our docker compose files to invoke the external solr service. https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images/pull/79
   4. Dump/restore tool for the authority core.

        Or should we use solr-export-statistics?
4. DSpace Backend as One Webapp (Tim Donohue )
   
   1. PR: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2265 (PR is finalized & ready for review)
   2. A follow-up PR will rename the "dspace-spring-rest" module to "dspace-server", and update all URL configurations (e.g. "dspace.server.url" will replace "dspace.url", "dspace.restUrl", "dspace.baseUrl", etc)
5. DSpace Docker and Cloud Deployment Goals (Terrence W Brady )
   
   1. PR Build options: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2385
      1. Option 1 - Solve this in the docker build?
      2. Option 2 - create feature branch (ie configurable entities) when needed

   2. Service initialization and docker integration test script

      1. https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images/pull/104
   3. Refine Dockefiles for One Webapp
      1. Keep only spring-rest and rest webapps
      2. Optional deployment to ROOT
      3. Feedback for one webapp PR (2265)

   4. Update sequences on initialization

      1. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2362 - update sequences port

      2. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2361  - update sequences port

   5. Add Docker build/push to Travis
      1. We can revisit this after Docker is more widely adopted by DSpace developers.  We can decide if travis is the right place to solve this.
      2. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2308
6. Brainstorms / ideas (Any quick updates to report?)
   
   1. (On Hold, pending Steering/Leadership approval) Follow-up on "DSpace Top GitHub Contributors" site (Tim Donohue ): https://tdonohue.github.io/top-contributors/
   2. Bulk Operations Support Enhancements (from Mark H. Wood)
