This meeting was held on Google Hangouts due to multiple problems with Wimba.
As mentioned on the VUFIND-425 ticket, we discussed possible approaches to incorporating schema.org microdata into VuFind.
Storage of identity in the session has been simplified: we now persist a user ID instead of a serialized object in order to avoid complex sleep/wakeup logic.
Most outstanding 2.0 tickets are now resolved, so a development freeze is in force until the 2.0 release. Only bug fixes, language file expansions, and a planned SolrMarc upgrade will be committed until that time.
Demian plans to spend some time reviewing the test suite/commenting on related JIRA tickets/etc. during the development freeze between now and the 2.0 release. Demian will work on separating unit/integration tests better if necessary (skip tests with external dependencies). David will look into a better/more flexible phpunit.xml configurations. He also suggested reducing use of service locators in favor of mocks in some of the existing tests. Demian will also fix directory path / namespace inconsistency in unit/integration tests.
David will implement the SharedListenerAggregate interface on the search backends before the 2.0 release (simple improvement).
No news. Demian mentioned that we should brainstorm ways of making the September 2013 German conference complement the October U.S. summit. David offered to share his search system slides with English notes so Demian can present them.
We agreed to switch to Google Hangouts for the next call. While this offers the disadvantage that a Google Plus account is required for access, it offers broader compatibility – Wimba has been problematic on Mac/Linux and occasionally unreliable in general.
The next call will be Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
