 ===== 2. VuFind Trademark =====
@@ Line 17: / Line 17: @@
 Villanova has successfully registered VuFind as a trademark; this move was intended to protect the project from future name changes (since a legal complaint about naming caused the Hydra project considerable inconvenience a few years ago). We now need to do some work to put the (r) mark in various places.
+Leila volunteered to help with the graphics.
+Demian will put together a wiki page about the trademark.
 ===== 3. OLF Update =====

 ===== 4. Documentation =====
+The focus on the VuFind 8.0 release has distracted from this; it should get more attention post-release.
+André suggested getting the Learning VuFind book sorted out before the Summit in November, since it will get attention at that time.
+There have been some delays with the Koha chapters for Ere to review; Mohan will send them when time permits.
 ===== 5. Summit Planning =====
@@ Line 31: / Line 39: @@
 VuFind 8.0 will be released in one week. Please test/review the latest code so we can catch any outstanding bugs before they are released!
+As of today, all open JIRA tickets are resolved (apart from the translation task, which will remain open until the release in case of late contributions -- but most expected files have already been received).
+There are two open pull requests that might be worth considering for inclusion in the 8.0 release: [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1962|#1962]] (utilize icon helper) and [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/2121|#2121]] (new truncation mechanism).
+Consensus: #1962 should go into a major release. We will try to get it into 8.0; Demian will review today, Ere will review tomorrow.
+#2121 is a lower priority; Demian will investigate whether he can convert all existing templates to use the new mechanism but is not optimistic there will be time before the 8.0 release.
+André may have some resources on Thursday to help with further testing/review (Demian proposed testing a merge of dev).
 ===== 7. It Takes a Village Beta =====
+The exercise we tested during the September Community Call was productive and yielded a number of potentially valuable ideas and suggestions.
+Demian will schedule a meeting for September 20 to run through the next exercise.
+===== Other Items =====
+Mohan is working on creating a shared index of DOAJ and open journals, including SDI services for VuFind members. The plan is to expand to additional open content.
+Demian also pointed out [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1500|VUFIND-1500]] which references an API for open access resources; we should see how this might relate to the new project, if at all.
