"Master of Ceremonies (MC)": Richard Rodgers, MIT

9:00am: Introductions, Overview of Day (Richard Rodgers)

...

)

  • Developer / DCAT collaboration - how has it been, what improvements can we make (Val Hollister)

10:15ish : Break

10:30am: Ask a Committer / Developer Anything (Discussion Leader: TBD)

  • This is a time where anyone can ask anything!
  • It is an opportunity to ask about something that's been bugging you in DSpace, or something that you'd really like to see changed/fixed.
  • It is also an opportunity to throw out an idea/brainstorm to the Developers/Committers to get quick feedback.

11:00am: Open Discussion Period (Discussion Leader: TBD)

  • We will discuss "hot topics" decided by all of us (See #Possible Open Discussion Topics listing)
  • This time can also be used to touch back on topics from earlier in the days' discussion.

Noon: Lunch Break

  • Thoughts on interaction/collaboration between DCAT & Committers? Community outreach in general?

1:30pm: 3.0 Planning / Updates Session (Discussion Leader: 3.0 Release Team members?)

  • More detailed planning or updates around DSpace 3.0
  • Are there any areas of high interest that need volunteers/support (perhaps based on earlier discussion)? I.e. can we identify areas of "high priority" or potential "low hanging fruit" that needs a person or two to just help out?
  • "Finalize" our 3.0 Release Schedule / Feature Freeze dates?

2:30ish: Break

2:45pm: Discussion of DSpace Developer Practices (Discussion Leader: TBD)

  • GitHub usage: Any questions/comments from GitHub experience so far? Tips to share?
  • Are there ways we can better leverage our developer tools (JIRA, GitHub, Continuous Integration, others) to make things easier on us all?
    • Capture various brainstorms / ideas and perhaps even find volunteers to investigate them (if plausible)
  • Any suggestions for how we can improve our development workflow in general? Or, even just improve our patch/pull request workflow(s)?
  • What do you need as volunteer developers to make your "lives" easier?

3:45pm: Summarizing & Bringing it all Together

  • Ensure any "To-Do's" or Task Assignments are documented
  • Any topics that need further discussion & may warrant a "Special Topic Meeting" or even another "Developers Summit"?
  • Meeting Wrap-Up

4:00ish: End Meeting & Depart for a Local Pub
