====== VuFind Community Call Minutes: December 3, 2019 ======

Attending: Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, Claas Kazzer

===== Agenda =====

==== 1. Development Planning ====

=== Zend Framework / Laminas Transition ===

Still no news; the website still reports progress within a timeframe that has gone completely by.

=== Newsletter Highlights ===

The [[community:newsletter:2019-11|November, 2019 Newsletter]] was discussed.

== Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) ==

This work has been completed and merged to master. See the [[configuration:email_alerts|Email Alerts]] wiki page for documentation. Testing and feedback would be appreciated prior to the 6.1 release!

=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===

No news.

=== Google Scholar Tags ===

Mario Trojan reports that progress is being made on testing Google Scholar Tags work which should eventually be used to resolve [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-951|VUFIND-951]]. A pull request is expected early next year.

=== Release Date for 6.1 ===

We discussed a release date for 6.1, now that the bulk of the SDI work is completed. Release 5.1 came out on February 4, 2019; so we will aim for February 3, 2020 in the interest of parallelism.

==== 2. Newsletter Feedback ====

Demian received some feedback that the October newsletter was a bit too information-dense, so he added an executive summary to the November newsletter (while still retaining all the detailed information from before).

==== 3. Video Tutorial: MARC Record Importing ====

A video was recorded covering the basics of MARC record importing; the recording will be shared in the near future.
==== 4. Next Call Date ====

Chris and Demian have a conflict on January 7, so the next call will be postponed until January 14. Please adjust your calendars!

==== 5. Other Topics? ====

Demian reminded everyone that VuFind events will take place at [[http://openlibraryfoundation.org/about/wolfcon/upcoming/|WolfCon 2020]]. Please let him know if you are planning to attend so he can keep you in the loop on scheduling.
===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, January 14, 2020 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
