Agenda
Discussion topic: DCAT objectives and meeting topics for the second half of 2016.
Together we will discuss the feedback from the recent email thread on what DCAT should be discussing in the next months.
Overall, 3 main topics were suggested:
- Contributing to the DSpace 7 user interface overhaul
- Deeper functional and architectural ambitions: (meta)data model, complexity vs simplicity, ...
- Sharing best practices and challenges in the use of existing DSpace features
The feedback from the 6 respondents so far seem to indicate that:
- There's interest in all of these topics
- As a sub topic of #3, statistics look like the hottest topic so far.
Questions we could cover during the call to get a better view on how we can put agenda's together:
- Is the monthly DCAT call the right forum for a group that would work on DSpace 7 UX?
- Are you interested in being more involved in preparing/leading some of these meetings? Are there any interesting guest speakers we could invite?
- Should we focus more on the interactive parts of doing Q&A and open discussions, or should we gear these calls into a more presentation-heavy format, where a presenter prepares a substantial piece of content to convey to the attendees?
We are hoping to get more input on top of the feedback of the 6 people who already responded via email, before we decide where we are taking the DCAT calls in the next months.
