 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). 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.

 +
 +André may have some resources on Thursday to help with further testing/review (Demian proposed testing a merge of dev).

Due to limited time (and some questions about the value of user personas for our purposes), the group decided to focus on activity one, scheduling a one-hour meeting to work through the activity.

 +Demian scheduled 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.
