Looking less and less likely we'll push for a DSpace 7 "preview" release in 2018. A subgroup of the Leadership group will meet next week to discuss DSpace 7 release planning/strategies.
Art noted that Angular 7 was just released this week. However, no rush to upgrade yet, as we'll need to wait on our dependencies to update to v7 compatibility
However, this notes that we really should work to get to Angular 6 soon (waiting on Submission PR still, see below)
Tickets / PRs requiring review:
Several small PRs from Bram (reviewed by Art, waiting on updates)
Tickets to update our DSpace Java dependencies. Tim & Mark W have started working in this area, and this is important for DSpace 7 as some dependencies are very outdated or even EOL
