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 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.
NOTE: Any developer is also welcome to ask questions or brainstorm ideas with Tim Donohue during the DSpace Office Hours held before the weekly Developers meeting in the same IRC channel.
Developers Meeting on Weds, June 6, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-1038
- REMINDER: Sign up & Suggest Topics for DSpace Developers Meeting at OR12
Discussion Topics
- How can we "catch up" with JIRA? It seems like we just keep falling further behind in our reviews. (Currently at 90+ unreviewed tickets)
- Do we need to "split up" the tickets & do quick reviews on our own? Or perhaps just split up tickets & do a very quick ranking & schedule ones with patches for 3.0?
- Other ideas?
- Updates to our Guidelines for Committing based on GitHub/Git?
- Thoughts on how we rework these polices to our new GitHub development environment (with Pull Request policies, etc.)?
- 3.0 Release Updates / Possible feature updates or ideas
- REMINDER: Add your planned 3.0 contributions to the 3.0 Wiki Page
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
- Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
- Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
- AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-994, DS-1006, DS-1007, DS-1088, and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
