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

   1. DSpace 6.3 Release Planning has general notes

   2. Currently, we are looking for individual(s) interested in leading / contributing to getting a 6.3 release out the door. Many "usual suspects" are busy with 7.x efforts.
      1. Some discussion that this might be plausible to do via a 1-2 week sprint, but still needs a Sprint Coordinator.
3. DSpace Entities Working Group draft analysis (from RCAAP in Portugal) - Tim interested in more feedback, thoughts, brainstorms:.
   1. RCAAP analysis/proposal is at: 
   2. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bb83KKLi9Q29OXF59WV5KYepcPPZWtSzpQftTDAjFnk/edit
   3. Tim interested in more feedback on these ideas, as part of the proposal includes significant data model changes, potentially in a short period of time. (Additional developer resources may also be available to support this effort, if the effort is included as part of DSpace 7 or minimally done in parallel.)
   4. What is the best forum to discuss this proposal in more detail?
   5. How can we get Committers / interest developers "up-to-speed" enough to provide feedback here?

4. Tickets, Pull Requests or Email threads/discussions requiring more attention? (Please feel free to add any you wish to discuss under this topic)

   1. DSpace 6 performance issues with items containing a lot of bitstreams? https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dspace-tech/ZSxdm5EkT6E/iYixh3_TAAAJ
