Agenda

Discussion Topics

DSpace 5.3 Bug Fixes. Getting closer to a 5.3 release. At this point, we just need some more testers:
DSpace 6.0 Plans
1. @mire will be presenting to us on "Service API + Hibernate" work tentatively on Thurs, July 23 at 15:00 UTC. They are proposing to add to 6.0, but needs discussion.
2. Volunteers for some refactoring tasks?
3. Release Team members still needed!
RoadMap work
1. Design - Single UI Project has some rough timelines on likely plans.
  1. Rough draft of Prototyping a Future UI which describes what the prototyping process may look like (feedback welcome!)
2. A "UI Working Group" will be formed by end of July
  1. In next few weeks, we'll announce an open meeting (anyone can attend) to discuss the upcoming UI Prototyping and get volunteers for Working Group.
  2. Working Group will help us to "oversee" the prototyping process and the final decision making process.
  3. Announcements will go to DSpace lists. We'll also be directly emailing folks who expressed interest at OR15 or via email.
