Zend Framework / Laminas Transition

Format Determination
This functionality has been merged to master.
Browse Handler Optimizations
No news.
Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)
Mohan's team is still working on this, but no specific news.
PHP Requirements
There were no objections (and several +1's), so we will raise the PHP version requirement to 7.1 with release 6.0. Demian will set up a PR to begin this work soon.
6.0 Roadmapping
Demian is continuing to work on cleaning up outstanding pull requests. Progress is being made on the relocation of the filter list (nearly done, but with some minor bugs to clean up), Overdrive integration (pending final review), email verification (pending one small lightbox bug to ensure notifications display correctly), and the link shortener (pending some test adjustments and finishing touches).
6.0 Release Date
This is now set at July 15, 2019 based on last week's discussion.
3. Developers Summit
There have still been no expressions of interest in in-person attendance.
