Solr Default Port
This change was merged; the Solr default port is now 8983.
6.1.2 / 7.0 Release Updates
Demian has merged a lot of pull requests to prepare for 7.0, and hopes to freeze the code to everything except bug fixes very soon; there are still a couple of outstanding PRs under consideration for the release.
Demian plans to release VuFind 6.1.2 (with accessibility improvements) on 7/13, and 7.0 on 7/20, to get both a stable, updated 6.x release and a brand new major release into everyone's hands this month.
2. Inclusive Language, Community Standards
3. Virtual VuFind Summit 2020
A survey will be launched very soon; watch the mailing lists for details.
4. Video Session: Combining Search Types
Demian demonstrated configuring VuFind to use multiple search backends (e.g. bibliographic and web searches); a video will be posted soon.
5. Other Topics?
Mario suggested some improvements to the SEO documentation; he will share notes with Demian and Chris and assist with edits as time permits. The relevant wiki pages will be linked from this month's video description when it is ready.
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
