  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:

      • Giuseppe will review. Tim too.

      • Some minor comments from Art. Giuseppe to look at again
    • Docs enhancements PR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/245
  • New issues:

    • New milestone for first sprint (more PRs coming): https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/milestone/5
• REST API / Java backend Team updates
  • Merged PRs: 
    • (none related to REST API, some backports for 6.3)
  • In Progress tickets / PRs:
  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:
• Open Repositories 2018 (June 4-7) Planning
  • We have a demo scheduled at OR2018 (Tim has an update talk on Thurs). We want to be able to show off all the recent hard work, especially the Submission/Workflow UI.
  • Ideally, all this code is merged into "master" before OR2018.
  • However, in May, we should look at current status of Submission UI / API code.  We could create a temporary "or2018" branch to manually merge this work just for the OR2018 demo. Then, if needed, work can get merged to master post-OR2018.
• Up next:
  • Tim will help review/merge PRs, especially on Angular side of things
  • Art will be looking at the navigation / administration sections. Will look towards mockups for this.

• Next Meeting will be Thurs, April 26 at 14:00UTC in DSpace Meeting Room
