    - Model objects in bf code-generation are not ns-marked
      - OME-XML with prefixes don't get matched correctly in the parser

    - Include a report for that
    - Don't worry about shipping a script at the moment
  - Centos5: problem since 8.1 is the default PostgreSQL version
    - Primary target because it just works
    - We can make our scripts compatible but there's a race condition
    - But we should suggest upgrading to Enterprise DB
    - AND we will need to keep this in mind for future upgrades
  - lib/scripts: need a way to merge pristine and site-specific lib/scripts (#2563)
    - Chris: for 4.2.1 provide a diff for lib/scripts
    - Needs to be kept in mind for how we modify OmeroPy/scripts
    - Leave out the namespace changes till we know what we're doing with these
    - Versioning for now based on server release ("4.2.0" for example)
  - official script (#2562)
    - current issues with IScript; not a reason to delay release
    - may want to require sysadmins to use the filesystem to modify script
Misc (Jason)
- Will forwarded a message regarding JCB article; formulating a response
- upcoming data mining / machine learning meeting
- also 4.2+ priorities (simple like delete v. hcs etc.)
  - committments to external groups
