Chris, Fedora and DSpace Developer Communities, Please excuse the cross posting.
I'm trying to get more involved into these meetings, but for now, the time is a bit difficult for me to make. I've listened to your phone conference and can comment on some of your topics though. There are topics the community are very interested in participating on, and I'd like to start seeing DSpace and Fedora community members sitting in activities together. Certainly: 1.) Maven and Spring DM activities (we are currently restructuring parts of the DSpace 2.0 repo and having cross pollination of ideas would assist here). 2.) Planning around Duraspace and OSL resources. 3.) Starting to Share Duraspace resources like Confluence and JIRA. 4.) Community Driven Release Processes and decision making around release feature-sets 5.) OS Governance and Processes. The DSpace community has a rather solid release management process and I agree that DSpace community members should attend some of your activities to advise on our process in greater detail (ie a round table). I think there need to be shared resources to advertise Fedora and DSpace activities. I might recommend we repurpose the Google Calendar we have for DSpace activities to be Duraspace activities and that any time we have Developer meetings, training and conferences, they be published in it. I will emphasize my own opinion that Fedora Commons trying to open up its community and DSpace working make its existing volunteer community healthier are really trying to solve the same problem and we can share our experience here. For both the DSpace and Fedora groups, the core development team is already a sub-set of the community that preexists and that to foster greater involvement in the codebase, you will need to reduce the (often self imposed) barriers to participation by attributing merit to your community members that deserve it and rewarding them with commitership rights and delegating trust to them to assist in leading the direction of the codebase.
