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. If you are unsure how to connect to IRC, see our list of IRC Resources & Clients

This meeting schedule is also available via the DuraSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal, RSS Feed).

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.

Meeting Notes

1.8.0/1.7.1 Release Planning & Schedules, Documentation Mgmt, JIRA review

  • Reviewed JIRA Issues - ended with issue DS-658
  • 1.7.1 Schedule & Coordinator
    • Peter Dietz volunteered to coordinate 1.7.1
    • 1.7.1 will be a bug-fix only release
    • Code should go into 1.7.x Branch
  • 1.8.0 Schedule & Coordinator
    • Still need a volunteer to Coordinate
    • Two potential schedules proposed:
      • #1 - Release in 9mos (Sept) – see above
      • #2 - Release in 10mos (Oct)
    • Many seem to think 12mos release schedule after that is better. So, we would potentially standardize to always release in the Fall.
    • Most seem to like the ideas of several "beta" releases before feature freeze.
  • Some discussion of Documentation process
    • We need a Documentation Team – Jeff cannot do this alone
    • The wiki is working well, but we need a group to keep us "honest". At the end of the 1.7.0 release, there was a scramble to fix docs issues, because of a lack of pre-planning & no team to double check things as we went along.
    • Ideas/proposals on improving Documentation process are welcome.
