• GSoC 2011 Planning
  • GSoC 2011 Accepted Projects
  • Students begin coding on May 24th
  • Do we want to recommend using Git/GitHub for projects? (just to get our mentors more experienced with it?)
  • Mentors & Students (and others interested in these GSoC projects), please join our mailing lists:
    • duraspace-gsoc : Public list (anyone can join), but mostly for Mentor & Student discussions, public feedback, cross-project collaboration opportunities, etc.
    • duraspace-gsoc-mentors : Private List (Mentors/Admins only) for GSoC administrative purposes only

• Other Topics?

• (Time Permitting) Followup on some Async Discussions (both from last week and from recent email threads):
  • Tim & Mark D had a discussion about potentially reorganizing the SVN "Modules" area into more specific "groupings", to make it more clear which modules/projects are "supported" and which may be experimental, etc. Would like to consider possibly reorganizing into these general 'groupings':
    1. "Sandbox" - all modules which are still experimental (or outdated) should likely move to existing Sandbox area
    2. "Core" (may need a better name) - These are fully supported modules which actually are released as part of out-of-the-box DSpace.
    3. "Extensions" (may need a better name) - These are modules which should be considered "more stable". But, they are not released as part of out-of-the-box DSpace (rather they can be installed separately as "addons" or "extensions" to DSpace).
  • The idea would be that "Sandbox" and "Extensions" areas are open to any/all developers to take part in development. But that the "Core" area is likely managed more like current SVN TRUNK (where you need to be a "Committer" or "Highly Trusted Developer" to commit code there).
