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.
Developers Meeting on Weds, February 16, 2011
Agenda
- First 20+ minutes: JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-678
- Based on Proposal for a New "Feature Request" Review Process, Committers should start revisiting/responding to DCAT comments on JIRA Feature Requests. To get started this week, it'd be good to revisit the first two Feature Requests that DCAT Reviewed:
- DS-164 - Web Inteface for modifying 'input-forms.xml' (DCAT relevancy/interest vote: +4)
- DS-638 check files on input for viruses, and verify file format (DCAT relevancy/interest vote: +4)
- Full DCAT Discussion of DS-638
- Elin Stangeland has asked to delay discussion of DS-638 until next week (Feb 23), so that she can attend our meeting
- helix84 (Ivan Masár) has asked if we could try to provide some initial feedback on his recent patch today, as he'll be in attendance:
- DS-820 : SFX button + SFX in Mirage
- Other Discussion topics?
- Was 'git' meeting last week useful? Anyone played with git more yet?
- Next "Special Topics" Meeting??
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
- Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
- Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
- Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
- Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
