Attending:

The February, 2024 Newsletter was discussed.

Version 9.1.1 was released on time.

It is obviously not possible to release 10.0 in April with all scheduled features completed. Discussion is needed about whether to take extra time on the release, or make a release with fewer changes and features.

The following pull requests are scheduled for inclusion in release 10:

• #1680 - Display flash message on login
  • Status: Complex issue; on hold until #3361 is resolved to provide required underlying functionality.
• #2233 / VUFIND-1480 - Convert from Laminas\Db to Doctrine
  • Status: Work in progress continues; still much to do.

Discussion point: should we open a JIRA ticket to track this task?

There will be a time change from Standard to Daylight time in many regions between this call and next month's call. Be sure to adjust your calendar if necessary.

Planning is underway for the 2024 Summit, which will coincide with either WOLFcon 2024 or a subsequent German meeting; details are under discussion, but the event will be occurring in late September or early October, and a call for papers will be forthcoming soon.

The next call will be Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
