New name, new focus
- team name
- since we've evolved our primary purpose (help w/reviewing JIRA requests and facilitating community discussions) we've resolved to retire DGOC (served it's purpose over the last few years working on big projects)
- current group members will now join the "Community Advisor Team" or CAT-->with new focus on facilitating discussions on new feature requests
- meeting/s time - only one time per month
- moving to only one live mtg time a month - top allow for more dynamic discussions: alternate time each month - 9am/14:00 or 3pm/20:00
- participation
- resolved that we would do the bulk of our new feature reviews outside the mtg
- each week, 1 CAT member will start discussion amongst CAT about a JIRA issue of their choice - summarize issue and proposed CAT recommendations for feedback
- other CAT members make comments asynchronously
- CAT issue discussion leader for that wk will post summary to JIRA issue and, if issue ranks as highly relevant/broad community interest and high priority the issue will be taken to the broader DSpace community for full discussion - confirming interest, outlining requirements, soliciting those interest in working on project
- resolved that we would do the bulk of our new feature reviews outside the mtg
- proposed mtgs w/cmtrs
- propose weekly DCAT discussion leader join the weekly cmtr mtg, report back anything relevant to DCAT
- all community, particularly cmtrs are welcome to attend DCAT monthly mtgs
- propose DCAT to join the in-person cmtr mtg at OR11
- process refinements
- pick issue and sign up on the discussion schedule - each member to lead one discussion every 6-8 wks
