Hi Developers / Committers,

As discussed at the OR12 face-to-face Developers Meeting, the DCAT 
(DSpace Community Advisory Team) would like to join our IRC Developer 
meetings once per month.

Namely, DCAT members would like us to set aside 15 minutes of time 
during this meeting, to tackle or discuss a topic that is of interest to 
both of our groups.

Here's a small summary of how this may work:

* Once per month, DCAT members would join our DSpace Developer meeting 
for (at least) the first 15 minutes.

* DCAT would join our meeting on the Weds *after* their monthly Tues 
meeting (first date: Weds, Sept 5). The DCAT meeting schedule is 
detailed at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/DCAT+Meeting+Notes

* The DCAT topic to be discussed would be determined by DCAT, and will 
be sent out as part of our DSpace Developer Meeting Agenda.

* Usually, we utilize the first 15 minutes of our Developer Meeting for 
a JIRA review. However, on dates that DCAT joins our meeting we will 
forgo our JIRA review and instead discuss the topic(s) that DCAT would 
like to bring before us (oftentimes it may be a specific JIRA ticket 
anyways).

Essentially the goal here is to provide a monthly opportunity for DCAT 
and the Developers to touch base, collaborate and discuss topics / 
features of great interest to DCAT and repository managers in general.

If you have any comments/suggestions/concerns, please feel free to let 
me know.

Again, the first date that this will occur is at our DSpace Developer 
Meeting on Weds, Sept 5.

Obviously, as this is a new concept, we may need to be flexible early on 
in determining what works best for all involved. So, if ideas for 
improvements come up, definitely let me know!

- Tim
