 Another important sustainability-related development is that VuFind volunteered to beta test the "It Takes a Village" module for open source sustainability, and that test begins next month (September, 2021). We will be provided with sustainability-related checklists and exercises which we can work through to improve project sustainability, and we can provide feedback on these to help support better sustainability for other open source communities in the future. This may help advance our conversation further. Another important sustainability-related development is that VuFind volunteered to beta test the "It Takes a Village" module for open source sustainability, and that test begins next month (September, 2021).

 Demian has been working to complete outstanding work slated for VuFind 8.0; a significant amount of work has been completed since last call, and even more is currently in progress. Due to summer vacations, it has been hard to get everything reviewed, but things are nonetheless moving forward reasonably well. It is still necessary to decide upon a release date. Discussion: the end of August might be feasible but would be rushed; if we want to give ourselves more time, should we aim for September, or closer to the Summit? Demian has been working to complete outstanding work slated for VuFind 8.0; a significant amount of work has been completed since last call, and even more is currently in progress.
