==== 2. Development Planning ====

=== Zend Framework / Laminas Transition ===

No major news yet -- still waiting for the Laminas code to drop. The [[https://getlaminas.org/|getlaminas.org]] site still has not changed significantly since it was unveiled.

=== Browse Handler Optimizations ===

No news.

=== Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) ===

There has been no progress on Mohan's end; Demian hopes to find time to work on porting Ere's changes into master in the near future. The email change logic (pull request [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/1401|#1401]]) is a first step toward that.

==== 3. Developers Summit ====

Planning for the modularity discussion for the German Summit is underway.
==== 4. Next Call Date ====

Demian will be out of town for the next call date, so it will be skipped, and we will meet again on August 27.

==== 5. Other Topics? ====

None this week.
===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, August 27, 2019 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
