Meeting Schedule and Attendance
DSpace Developer meetings are a time when Committers and interested Developers can discuss new software features, upcoming releases of DSpace software, and generally plan out the roadmap of DSpace. All meetings are public. We welcome anyone and everyone to attend, speak their opinions or just listen in on the discussions. Please note that we archive all discussions (see Meeting Archives), as a service for those who are unable to attend.
DSpace Developer meetings take place on the following schedule:
- Every Wednesday at 20:00 UTC/GMT in #duraspace IRC channel
- All meetings are held for 1 hour (although, admittedly, discussion sometimes extends beyond that)
See the world clock to determine the meeting time where you live.
Meeting topics often include:
- Recent updates on upcoming DSpace releases, bug fixes or features
- Reviewing of recent reported issues/bugs/feature requests (see JIRA Cleanup Sessions for more info)
- Occasionally we vote or make decisions on upcoming DSpace technology plans/roadmap (see Developer Voting Procedures for more info)
If you are unable to attend a meeting, please feel free to add your own notes/comments to the meeting's wiki page.
Developers Meeting on Weds, November 03, 2010
Agenda
Things to also talk about are that:
- everything needs to have been committed, this is old news, but again a reminder.
- look over the documentation to make sure features have their needed things, especially if you've committed a new feature
- What's going on for testathon next week
- DSUG 2010 in Baltimore next week
The Release Notes needs to have the current status of what has been contributed. So move things from "unsure" to "New Feature" if you've committed it.

The Roadmap has been updated with a little bit of color to help steer users to what they're looking for.
