Any new JIRA issues? https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aissues-panel

• "More Details Needed" - Try to ask relevant questions in the comments, poking the original submitter to provide more detail
• "Volunteer Needed" - These are issues waiting for a volunteer. You can put some of these tickets in the spotlight by commenting or +1 on them to indicate that they are really important to you.
• "Received" - Help to judge whether the incoming tickets contain enough detail

1) Re-start JIRA reviews

a) Everyone should select a JIRA issue of interest (Bram's recommended view: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aissues-panel)

• • Received: help to judge whether the incoming tickets contain enough detail
  • More details needed: try to ask relevant questions in the comments, poking the original submitter to provide more detail
  • Volunteer needed: There are today 155 issues waiting for a volunteer. You can put some of these tickets in the spotlight by commenting or +1 on them to indicate that they are really important to you.

b) If the issue you select merits DCAT discussion (you want to confirm the importance of the request, want input on request, want to propose DCAT sending a msg to the listserve to find volunteers, etc.) please schedule the month for which you'd like to hold the discussion on the DCAT Discussion Schedule. If your JIRA issue doesn't merit a DCAT discussion, use JIRA to follow up directly.

c) Monthly discussion leaders should use the DCAT Discussion Forum to start your discussions with the rest of DCAT.

d) Post links/updates to the JIRA issue (summary of DCAT discussion with links to forum, etc.).
