Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets

- VUFIND-272 - Users can now change their passwords when the Database auth method is in use; infrastructure exists to support this for other methods as well (if appropriate).
- VUFIND-296 - Users can now reset forgotten passwords when the Database auth method is in use; infrastructure exists to support this for other methods as well (if appropriate).
- VUFIND-919 - More flexible ranged facets are now available.
- VUFIND-960 - It is now possible to create an account within a lightbox in the Bootstrap theme.
- VUFIND-967 - Bootstrap theme tablet support has been finalized.
- VUFIND-970 - This is a support request that is most likely a configuration problem; Demian will close as soon as he resolves it with the user.
- VUFIND-971 - This ticket proposes a new Horizon ILS driver that is entirely API-based (rather than using direct database access).

- VUFIND-975 - This ticket proposes an improvement to the new LibGuides backend; Demian plans to implement it upon returning.

2. Development Planning
Performance Testing
Call Number Normalization
3. Marketing
Ben has run a survey for a tagline (with the winner “Search. Discover. Share.”) and has made further refinements to his new logo, which has been pushed to Git master. We should now discuss whether/how to adjust the vufind.org website to match.
4. Other Topics?
