Notes

• General Updates
  • OR2018 was a success. Lots of excitement generated around DSpace 7.  
    • Summary of talks/workshops at OR2018: https://duraspace.org/dspace-7-updates-from-or2018-including-a-recorded-dspace-7-demo/
    • How to get code merged that was demoed at OR2018.
  • Reminder of DSpace 7 Community Sprint 2 and DSpace 7 Community Sprints (for signup)
• Angular UI Team updates
  • Merged PRs:
  • In Progress tickets / PRs:
    • Atmire has been working on Discovery / messaging in Angular
    • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/264 (Needs more integration tests. Can be reviewed as-is. Would need to be tested against the OR2018 REST Demo for now, as backend Java code not all merged in `master`.  Art also plans to review.)
  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:
    • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/275 (Initial Authentication)
• REST API / Java backend Team updates
  • Merged PRs: 
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2073
  • In Progress tickets / PRs:
    • Integration tests missing from the OR2018 demo backend. Submission PR should be coming soon (by next week).
    • Also coming soon a PR with the code from the REST Tutorial (at OR2018).
  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2077 (Almost ready to merge)
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2025 (Almost ready to merge)
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2064
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/2041
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1976 (Needs a rebase and then a new review - Andrea will)
    • https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1974 (Needs a rebase and then a new review - Terry will)
• Upcoming Community Sprint
  • DSpace 7 Community Sprints
  • No signups yet.  Unsure if it's just the timing of the sprint (mid-Summer) that is the main factor.
  • If we end up with few participants, we could use this time for our own Sprint within the DSpace 7 WG.  So, we can try and move along PRs more quickly during this two week period & have more concentrated effort, etc.
  • Tim will also reach out to OR2018 Workshop attendees (reminding them of Sprint), all who participated in first sprint, and a few specific existing Committers.
• Entities 7 Working Group
  • A new iteration of an Entities Working Group will be established. This will not be the same as the DSpace Entities Working Group (2017-18), as their charge was simply to come up with a plan.  We'll create a new implementation oriented DSpace 7 Entities Working Group, and have a public call in the coming weeks.
  • Initially this working group will be separate.  There are detailed implementation / architecture discussions that will need to take place, and which will require their own separate meeting.
  • Once the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group has finalized design / implementation details and started creating initial Pull Requests, that group should merge into this DSpace 7 Working Group.
  • Tim (and eventually others) will regularly report back on the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group progress in this meeting.
• Developer Show & Tell
  • DSpace Developer Show and Tell Meetings
  • Next week's meeting is an OR2018 Recap
  • In July, possibly a demo/overview of Postman
  • Future ideas could also include basic tutorials/overviews of the new REST API (e.g. Terry's tutorial at OR2018) and/or Angular UI.
• Upcoming Schedule
  • Art L returns next week (June 28)

• Next Meeting will be on Thurs, June 28 at 14:00UTC in DSpace Meeting Room
