Notes

• Arising (14:00-14:19)

  • Mark Woodbridge & ND2: Brian contacted. No response yet.
    • Chris: Related to issue on forum. Importing massive XML.
    • Do we want to release a new importer with bioformats?
    • ~3 things to fix.
    • @Chris sends email to nitpick about patch release
  • Metadata harvesting
    • Ola: sent draft, but Carlos unhappy with extlib
    • Carlos: things that can bite people
    • Ola: one page for
    • @Ola, Josh, and Carlos will discuss
  • Jason hasn't sent agilo letter, but registration done (we think)
    • Chris working on getting certificates
  • Process-summary
    • Anyone look at it?
    • No, but that should be ok.
    • Linked from last weeks minutes
  • ASCB email went out
  • About pages ticket has been updated.
  • Storage
    • use cases on the RoiStorage page
    • forum for getting feedback, everyone add notes concurrently
    • trac page is authoritative (links to tickets)
  • Estimates/work plan updates
    • Andrew: some of my items have tickets but not on roadmap
  • Zuerich: can't go

• Sprint (14:20-

  • Were hoping to use agilo, but that will have to wait
  • Practices (go through each of the workplan pages)
    • What are the things that are good to do?
    • https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/WorkPlan/Permissions
    • Example, quite verbose.
    • Useful?
    • Easier with a tool?
    • Also, https://skyking.microscopy.wisc.edu/trac/java/wiki/BioFormatsCleanup
    • Less detail, but similar.
    • Ola: more tickets per commit?
    • Ola: percent remaining
    • Ola: with multiple tracs, have to handle tickets carefully
    • Andrew: if there's a ticket not linked off the roadmap (not 4.2), where do estimates go?
      • Adding extra row to TaskAllocations?
      • If you're doing the work, it's 4.2 and should be put on the roadmap (ie: Doesn't matter if something is 'linked' to code, if its happening 'before' a release, it should be included in that release cycle on the trac).
  • Estimates
    • Josh: largely close, but bugs were 2.5 ideal days
    • Brian: How do your re-organize when bugs arise?
    • Chris: workplan is not some official plan
    • Andrew: initial estimates
    • Jean-Marie: "ideal estimates"
    • Conclusion: all look at one of the active pages for agreement on how we do things
  • Graffle (Have to stop last minute updates)
    • Donald will need to change (Done last minute)
    • EM for Will. Talking tomorrow.
    • Permissions: lot of good feedback (tickets from Chris)
      • 2nd phase demo on Monday
    • FS: few things. should be able to do some advanced things at the end of this iteration.
      • get import candidates in addition to thumbnails
      • download in 2 weeks time
    • @JM, Colin: Get ready to demo the new FS features for the end of this upcoming iteration.
    • chgrp v. scripting
      • Carlos: chgrp needed right away. but needed for JCB upgrade
      • Will: big images is not such a blocker (import is probably problematic)
    • server-side history: no longer blocked. Brian has been working on other bugs in the meantime
      • @Brian demos server-side history end of this iteration
  • General position/feeling
    • bf: on track (~2 days behind but should be able to make that up)
    • perms: a bit behind on testing
    • Josh: roadmap page is very full
    • @Has roistorage been put on TaskAllocation? No yet
    • Chris: plan for BF is to begin merge into trunk during this iteration (has been isolated) for demo.
      • FS may be a good place to test the branch
  • roi storage
    • should know how well we can get SPW measurements into mongodb
    • measuring? how quickly can import and retrieve
  • @Everyone please check out the graffle after Jean-Marie upgrades

• email/forum

  • Caitlin: need to get back to her
  • Forums: all topics are waiting on logs, samples, etc.

• AOCB

  • Andrew added new FAQ entries
    • Jason: a reasonable set of the questions from the last year? Yes.
    • Concerted effort? +1
    • Chris: lacking on examples of doing simple things
    • Chris: we have a good number of code based samples we have written over the years. Would be nice if we have these links gathered somewhere?
    • Jason: schedule morning/long afternoon post-permissions testing
      • Then send email to the lists saything that we've updated them
  • Jason/observation
    • The scheduling of demos, talking about functionality seems to be going well
    • Try to get things done before the meeting
    • For experimental functionality (e.g. storage), make sure there are regular updates
      • WorkPlan pages: hard to see what's new
      • How can someone look at, say RoiStorage, see what happens
      • Have to find a way to communicate this: emails/forums/demos/...(something else?). Just a way to say 'this is where I am now'
    • @Examine a way to put intermediate stages on the workplan
      • New section representing the timeline
      • "Announcements" a la Twitter
