The release date has been set for September 20, 2021. Demian is working hard to complete all outstanding JIRA tickets and pull requests and plans to have code fully frozen by the end of the week. If you have time to help with any of this work, either by reviewing code, testing, or implementing, please coordinate with Demian.
2. VuFind Summit
Demian reminded everyone that the Call for Papers is currently open for the 2021 Virtual VuFind Summit.
3. It Takes a Village Toolkit Beta: Community Planning Exercise
