Developers Meeting on Weds, June 13, 2012

Agenda

Regular Items

Discussion Topics

Feedback on the DSpace Developers Meeting at OR12 draft agenda?
- Should we schedule more time in for "3.0 Discussions"?
- Did we want to schedule in 1/2 hr or so for Jonathan Markow (DuraSpace Chief Strategy Officer) to talk / answer questions on DSpace + Fedora and DuraSpace roadmaps?
- Is there anything that you feel could be "cut" from the agenda, or discussed instead as a "Special Topic" Meeting or as a "Developers Summit" in late Summer / early Fall?
Need to review 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

How can we "catch up" with JIRA Backlog?
- 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?
- Perhaps we schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" event (via IRC or similar) where we work together to decrease the backlog over a few days or a week (think of this like a "Test-a-thon" but instead we'd be working to just clear out the backlog as best we can).
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
- Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
  - Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
  - "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
  - Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
  - Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
  - Other Development Proposals
