 +Mohan Pradhan proposed a feature where users could register searches with VuFind and receive notification of new results relevant to those searches. Demian will write up a JIRA ticket with some ideas about managing such a mechanism. (See [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1309|VUFIND-1309]], which will be discussed further on the next call).
 ==== 4. LiveDVD Demo ==== ==== 4. LiveDVD Demo ====
  
 +Mohan Pradhan assembles a [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/livedvdvufindkohailsdspace/|Live DVD release]] designed to help users get a variety of library systems (including VuFind) up and running easily. He asked whether it would be possible to create infrastructure to support instances of this LiveDVD for "on demand" use. Demian does not currently have the server infrastructure to support this, but it may be possible in future, especially if we eventually have different resources through an organizational home.

 +No news, though conversations are ongoing.

 +Demian and Chris are still catching up following the Summit, but links to slides can be found on the [[community:conferences:summit_2018|Summit wiki page]] and video will be posted there as soon as it is available. As time permits, Chris and Demian will begin updating the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/projects/1|GitHub project board]] to reflect roadmapping outcomes (and to fuel future dev call discussion).
 +
 +There was some discussion about the reduced amount of direct feedback during the last Summit; Ere pointed out that the fact that we are receiving pull requests from many new contributors suggests that people are engaging in other ways, so the lack of feedback at the Summit should not be considered a major cause for concern -- it seems that most are satisfied. Recent discussion in the German community about the future approach to VuFind themes was also mentioned -- there is need to build consensus and develop strategy there, but that is a longer-term project; polling might be a useful tool for collecting data on needs and preferences.
