+  * [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1282|VUFIND-1282]] - This ticket proposes a IEEE Xplore search backend for VuFind. It should be technically feasible; the challenge is finding time to implement it. If interested, please upvote the ticket.

 == New ILS-based Channel Providers ==
+These have been merged to master.
+Leila and Demian brainstormed some ideas for possible future channel providers that use analytics engines (i.e. Google Analytics or Piwik) to fetch popular records; Leila will work on a proof of concept when time permits (but probably not until after the 5.0 release).
+The UI of the current channels was also discussed -- it was suggested that the introduction of a hamburger menu might make it less intimidating.
 == ContentBlock Mechanism ==
+[[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1170|#1170]] contains a complete implementation of this feature and can be merged if there are no objections.
 === Front End Updates ===
-The RecordDataFormatter has been significantly improved.
+The RecordDataFormatter has been significantly improved by PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1168|#1168]]. This can be merged soon (following final testing/documentation) if no one objects.
 === ILS Support Updates ===
+As noted above, the FOLIO driver pull request has been opened, though much work remains to be done. See [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1169|#1169]].
 === Browse Handler Optimizations ===
 === Geographic Improvements ===
+This work is complete for now.
 === Piwik, the lightbox, and tabs/accordion functionality ===
+Jochen still plans to work on this further, but he has not had time to make progress yet; he was not able to join this call.
 === Configuration Loading Standardization/Improvements ===

 ==== 3. Institutional Home ====
+Demian has continued talking to the Open Library Foundation; no agreement has been finalized yet, however.
+Potentially working with an external non-profit brings up the topic of Contributor License Agreements. It may be time for the VuFind community to consider adding this requirement.
 ==== 4. VuFind Summit 2018 ====
+If we decide to hold another on-campus Summit this year, the dates would be October 15-16, 2018.
