Developers Meeting on Weds, November 16, 2011

REMINDER: Meeting is one hour earlier in the USA/Canada

Please note that because Daylight Savings Time has ended in USA/Canada, the meeting is one hour earlier than it used to be. So, now 20:00 UTC translates to 3:00PM EST.

Agenda

Regular Items

  1. JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-892

Discussion Topics

  1. Release Coordination - Do we stay with a single (or co-) Release Coordinator(s)? Or do we move towards a Release Team (likely 2-5 people) who can help a Coordinator to organize the release, send out deadline reminders, pester about Documentation as needed, etc.
    • Some background: In recent releases, we've just had single RCs – however Tim has often been highly involved as almost a co-RC at times. As our group of committers grows (now at 23 people) it becomes harder and harder for a single person to manage & stay on top of all the various new features, whether all necessary docs are written, etc. etc.
    • The idea/goal here is that hopefully "more hands make light work". If we can get more people directly involved with the release coordination activities, then it may help lessen the burden or time required by any one person. In addition, it will give others an opportunity to formally help out with release coordination (as members of the Release Team), and get more comfortable with the process of coordinating a release.
  2. Cancel meeting next week (Nov 23)? It's just before the USA Thanksgiving holiday, and many may be traveling (Tim won't be available).

Individual Status Updates

If you have status items to report, please enter them below at least 1 hour before the meeting starts.

Tim:

  • Just a friendly reminder about our new DSpace Developers Discussion List page for us to keep track of topics needing discussion (and volunteers willing to lead that discussion). Please add to this list or update it!
  • Richard Rodgers & I are working on releasing a "1.0" version of the DSpace Replication Suite plugin by end of November. This is a set of Backup & Restore curation tasks that missed being released in 1.8.0. These curation tasks will support backup/restore to/from local filesystem, mounted filesystem or DuraCloud. More info on above wiki page.
