Notes

  • Matters arising

    • Ola modify QA: ticket creation modified (error & comment sent)
      • trac doesn't like the HTML from web tickets
      • done for everywhere.
    • django example:
      • Carlos committed the latest changes
      • Carlos & Ola will talk next week.
    • Bugs -> Tasks
      • Chris tested on agilo-test
      • Doesn't quite work
    • agilo automatic owner assignment (components don't have owners)
      • Josh: Components are hard to use in agilo. Perhaps reduce?
      • Chris: can clean up
      • Also re-enabling some of the fields
      • NB: referenced_by for tasks causes cycle (boom)
    • ticket created for image id for original files
    • original files discussion: later in this iteration
    • jerome: visiting on the 19th/20th.
    • phpbb upgraded: mostly working. jabber-notifications next week
    • BVMA: Jason sent to Donald who sent also
    • preliminary program written but not out. (need to talk to Spencer)
    • Donald contacted Josh about anonymization (no word back)
    • Andrew added item about FLIM notes ("contact Andrew")
    • NDIM: Jean-Marie and Donald are thinking about it
      • have gotten ourselves into a place where terms could be misintrpreted
    • group-name: solved
    • FAQ: a few are open. @Andrew will follow them up for final website changes
      • In some cases, create place holder page, add ticket with TODO
      • Could be large amounts of work for several people
      • First answer, and then we organize them (other pages)
  • FS

    • plan is to have the basics ready to use bioformats on the fly in sprint 6
    • test performance once all the pieces are hooked together
    • various other things (scripts, etc.) would benefit from knowing where we stand on FS
  • Generating Sprint 5

    • Best practice: Its not a good idea to attach a story to a sprint because this makes it hard to move later.
      • ...unless you know that the story will get closed.
    • Jason: there will be some histology discussions going on during the iteration
    • Moving tickets in/out before planning
      • Andrew: Moving things out of the sprint doesn't seem look like a good idea (graph changes)
      • Graph doesn't now show that there was a big blip
      • Best practice: try to not put new stories/tasks into the current sprint
      • Best practice: DON'T move tasks out of the OLD iteration before the meeting (do it together)
      • Best practice: DO move tasks into the the NEW iteration before the meeting
      • Best practice: First thing in planning meeting, look at old whiteboard
      • Best practice: For testing, create a testing "task" - "X Demo (Sprint X)"
      • Best practice: please create a ticket for your commits (if its not already linked to a ticket)
      • Best practice: documentation should go in slice2html and we point people there
      • Best practice: if you need something from someone, CC them on the ticket
      • Best practice: if the weekly whiteboard review would move your open ticket to 'done', do it beforehand.
  • Emails/Forum/Misc

    • forums: nothing outstanding
    • QA: everything previously reported
    • QA on HTTPS? No more IPs. (same for hudson)
    • Jason gone next week. 8 hours ahead of UK
  • Action Items

    • Andrew: Follow up on the final website changes
    • Ola: One outstanding FAQ for you which needs to be linked to the API
