1.6.2 was released!
GSoC updates
- One month till midterm. Working to get a weekly or bi-weekly student meeting setup.
Discussion of DSpace Services Framework
- All agree that more concrete, hands-on work will be needed to get real feedback on framework
- Several mention they will make effort to use Services Framework where it makes sense in upcoming projects
- Need more clarification on how to use services – best practices, etc.
Discussion of DuraSpace proposal for smaller license headers in code
- General approval. Some concerns that it may need to be run by a lawyer to be 100% sure (although the Fedora license header, which is almost identical, has been run by lawyers at UVA).
- Richard Rodgers may run by lawyers at MIT, just in case
