Notes

  • Minutes accepted

  • Matters:

    • Previous action items:
      • Scott's item still pending (he's not here today)
      • Jason has requested construction schedule for summer
      • Jason has written KIT/Urban L. about using servers for production
  • Sprint/Release

    • Extend sprint rather than create a new one? Yes till Monday!
    • On Monday, new sprint called...? Milestone "4.2.1"? "Summer 2010"?
      • Doing a 4.2.1 for next milestone
    • Some observations from Jason:
      • We've gotten much more complex
      • We are more organized now, finding true edge cases
      • We haven't set hard deadlines for releases
      • Based on this, we should be setting our future goals accordingly
      • Chris: We are much more integrated with the schema now
      • Jason: Lets set a final date for this release!
    • Andrew: converting SPW examples and creating new ones with Chris
      • Still working on making OME-TIFF examples
      • Adding none XML comments to file has causes OME reader to die.
        • This might be fixed already by Melissa.
      • Jason: Where is the definitive list of the files Andrew is making?
        • See: https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/ticket/1819
      • Josh: What are we going to do about the style sheets loosing things? How sure are we that other thing aren't being lost in the transformations?
        • Chris: Reasonable set of test cases in BF
        • Andrew: Some things are being lost (just the two below now?). In older style sheets there are more
        • Josh: Screen Acquision, timepoint that I know of
        • Andrew: Not a lot of test cases right now (so not sure if SPW is covered)
        • Josh: We should let the community know the status of this
        • Andrew: These is a page for the known limitations for the transforms - we could tie this in to any annoncement
        • Chris: Pretty confident the non-SPW stuff is OK
        • Jason: if we exported SPW would anything be lost? Chris: don't know not enough samples.
        • Jason: Big problem, we are going to have to prioritize this problem
        • Chris: We really need to test the entire stack
        • Chris: Lets test a few more things, then let the community know if there are problems with screens/reagents
    • Brian: Ubuntu bug is GTK related. Release as 'known bug' and look at fileChooser alternative after 4.2
    • Chris: Populate ROI in incell not working. Chris will have a look at this.
    • Chris: Working on LDAP this afternoon.
    • Josh: RepoRawFileStore: just need to fix one bug (the .. error which will confuse users).
    • Josh: Is going to add the example/cleanup script for admins to use as a template
      • Nighshade DB upgrade is taking forever on Mage
      • The PKI3 database on Mage did update, we could use this for now
      • Would like to know where will is with his testing. We need serious testing against Will/PerkinElmer DB
        • Will: Still making the DB for testing, will add some plates (SiRNA one would be good)
        • Josh: Great we can run the script on that and then look at it
        • Josh: Would be good to get a DB in as dirty permissions state as possible, but not sure how!
          • Chris: easiest way to do this is to change default group and then annotate some images, project, etc
        • Josh: Will should run the upgrade script against his DB as a tester
    • Tomorrow testing in the morning!
    • Everyone go their change logs for Jason's email
