PubMan release 3.8
TODO next:
 * latest core version will be put on dev-coreservice to test the content download asap (Julia)
 * 2 APA citation bugs (Vlad, needs some time to identify the problem and check)
 * snippet format enriched with new span element (Vlad)
 * easy submission bug auto suggest for journals (MarkusH, MarkusM, Julia)
 * migration of pubman data (Willy)
 * pubman deployment (Tom, Julia)

Input from Nicole
 * Nicole will send email for PubMan downtime (Wed afternoon Thu afternoon)
 * stable release asap
 * full release (after pubMan days)?

Outcome

 * no cyprus wine demotivates
 * Ulla&Natasa to bring some

Other issues

 * change of organizational structure
 * data migration/batch update for new organizational structures?
 * for MPI/PL will be done when migrating data from eDoc


 * TODISCUSS: for all other institutes: once pubMan goes productive with MPI PL we should no longer use it for testing (i.e. OU structure will not be easily changeable). All pubman users have to be careful when they decide to use pubman.
 * backup, availability

FACES R2

 * test with new dev-core for content download
 * test better the search with limit/offset
 * friday bug-fix release (perhaps enhanced performance)

VIRR R2

 * splitted to 2 releases
 * no critical issues for now for Virr 1.5
 * VIRR 2 will start after

eDoc2PubMan migration

 * status
 * delivery date agreement

Outcome

 * most of things are solved
 * still some mapping issues e.g. affiliations to be resolved with the institute - done
 * eDoc export has to be extended by collection
 * will be shifted a bit, until PubMan and Faces are delivered as Michael will work on this
 * in meantime Julia can still run the tests after she comes back from vacation (übergabe from Michael evtl.)

Servers, infrastructure

 * CHECK BETTER: Server availability/order - hardware is ordered (open timeline for delivery)


 * infrastructure documented at ESciDoc System IT infrastructure - in progress
 * TODO: check status with Lars
 * new view (presentation slide) is created, further will be improved
 * memory and disk space order for existing servers (RAM and hard disks are expected to arrive on 27th. 10.)

Progress reports

 * no PR scheduled
