==== 2. Development Planning ====

=== Authorization ===

Demian has made further progress on the authorization [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/209|pull request]] and it is likely nearing its final form. However, it cannot be merged until after we raise core requirements to PHP 5.4+.

=== Call Number Normalization ===

No updates this week.

=== 2.3.1 Release ===

The release is scheduled for next Monday. Please test the release-2.3 branch if time permits.
==== 3. Next Call Date? ====

The next call would be on November 25th. We discussed whether it was worth holding, given that the Thanksgiving holiday may keep people away. We voted to skip this one and make the next call December 9th.

==== 4. Other Topics? ====

None this week.
===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at 10am Eastern Standard Time (15:00 GMT).
