    • https://github.com/Islandora/Crayfish/issues/173

      • Do we want to allocate more time to this discussion in weekly calls or in a separate meeting?
      • There are also a lot of PRs just waiting because they would be breaking changes–when do we want to push those?
  • Think about ICC/LG roadmap: where do you want to see islandora in 18 months? Goals for the community & software
    • In the next month or so we would like to get a 3.0 out
    • In the next 18 months: Node-media relation

  • Think about events for next year
    • Encourage Interest Groups to have their own sprints
