Attending:

• VUFIND-1199 - This ticket (listing geographic improvements) has been resolved. The only suggestion on the ticket that has not been implemented is polygon support, which may not be needed. A new ticket can be opened if that is desired in future.
• VUFIND-1280 - This ticket tracks proposals for improving the ILS driver API and implementation.
• VUFIND-1281 - This ticket describes a problem where browse indexing fails if the authority index has never been accessed before.
• 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.
• VUFIND-1283 - This ticket collects translation notes for the 5.0 release.
• VUFIND-1284 - This ticket is for discussion of future Amazon support in VuFind now that the ZendService_Amazon library is unsupported. Should we remove the code or switch to the Amazon-provided client library?

These have been merged to master.

#1170 contains a complete implementation of this feature and can be merged if there are no objections.

The RecordDataFormatter has been significantly improved by PR #1168. This can be merged soon (following final testing/documentation) if no one objects.

As noted above, the FOLIO driver pull request has been opened, though much work remains to be done. See #1169.

This work is complete for now.

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.

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.

If we decide to hold another on-campus Summit this year, the dates would be October 15-16, 2018.

The next call will be Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
