 ==== 2. SolrMarc Sustainability ====
-Demian has been talking with Bob Haschart, the lead developer of SolrMarc, about improving the sustainability of the project, since it has not seen a new release in some time. Bob is receptive to expanding involvement in SolrMarc; if you are interested in being more involved in that project or in helping to review open issues and pull requests, please let Demian know.
+Demian has been talking with Bob Haschart, the lead developer of SolrMarc, about improving the sustainability of the project. These discussions led to a new release incorporating some recent bug fixes, and this release has been incorporated into the dev branch already. Bob is receptive to expanding involvement in SolrMarc; if you are interested in being more involved in that project or in helping to review open issues and pull requests, please let Demian know. Peter asked about skill requirements: mainly Java, MARC and Solr familiarity.

 Reminder: WOLFcon and the Summit are coming up in August!
+Ere will be out of office for July.
+Peter reported that a University of Colorado accessibility review revealed some problems with the autocomplete/autosuggest functionality. He demonstrated the problem with NVDA. Stephanie is going to compare notes with Peter as she is also working on a review; she suspects it's aria-related. Claas and Ere will also look into this locally. Demian has shared the results with Chris so that he can investigate further. Peter will open a JIRA ticket.
+Demian mentioned that the dev-10.0 branch has been established to merge PRs that are too advanced for 9.1.
+Demian also mentioned that he created an accessibility PR tag in GitHub to help keep track of accessibility-related PRs.
