Notes
Matters arising
-
Finding out about KIT
- Can't attend today
- Donald will contact them offline
-
Whitespace in BF paths? Melissa: Assume they are stripped.
- Melissa fixed last night should be committed shortly.
-
Servers
- Chris/Donald: Working to gett a faster hudson. Various VM stuff might work.
- Johnathon has no cloud setup right now, but should have something soon for us to try.
- Considering our critical mass of servers we have, cloud may be worth serious investigation
-
ImageJ
- Josh wrote to Johnannes after Jason talked to Pavel about the imagej/omero plugin.
- They have master students looking to omero to compare it to their own DB.
- Sounds like they have not yet started on the plugin, and would still like a simple API (as discussed in Paris).
- Jason: Will have to wait for a status update from them, will hear from Pavel in upcoming Dublin meeting.
- Jason: Ideally would be good for them to do ImageJ plugin. (Johnannes said he would like to do it).
- Josh: Things can get pretty circular with ImageJ/OMERO/Bio-Formats.
- Melissa: Still likes the idea of merging all our repos (BF/OMERO, ImageJ?)
- Adoption of 4.2 at Loci requires a plugin
- Jason: Perhaps a needed meeting? Melissa: Johnannes's group going to write nitpick with some ideas on how to proceeed.
-
JIC
- Josh: Have Jerome's vol viewer working and is trying to get OMERO working with it
- Still needs tweaks, but is close to a point where we can put on Hudson
- Jason: Would be nice to have some screenshots of this working
-
Finding out about KIT
Do we need a rapid 4.2.1?
- Seems there are no serious bugs (one critical bug in server has a work around)
- LDAP bug now has a workaround
- Chris: various web issues from merge from Carlos & var/ permissions
- Jason: Hold off a week and see if anything else crops up?
- Chris: Some minor BF issues that are also fixed as well
- readers.txt wasn't updated (we should remove readers programmically in importer)
- FS items have been removed and put in "unscheduled"
Major priorities & workplans
- Various work done on getting report 11 very clear. Is it clear to everyone?
-
Open question: Do we merge tracs for 4.2+? Version control? Merge BF as well? OME-XML? When?
- Chris: We will loose a lot of linking/revision numbering
- Would also be the proper time to move to another SCM
- Josh: Need to get a handle on this by putting tickets on track for this task
- Downside of this is that the built will depend on everything added, lots of building going on!
- PREREQ: Getting HUDSON GREEN working (and speeding up Hudson)
- PREREQ: Cleanup tasks incl. lib dependencies
- PREREQ: Delete and performance for user friendliness
- If we move to another VCS will have to test with Agilo/Trac
-
Summary: wait a week or so for 4.2.1, then work on delete/perf/hudson green, and then evaluate the trac merge
- Jason: After these tasks, large images would be a good next step
- Also need to make progress on modelling
-
Head's Up: Josh will be working on multi-db support (#73) in parallel with those tasks.
- Remove postgres-specific code
- Keep 'backup & restore' funcionalty in mind
- On Thursday, plan out the next four weeks
New Tickets:
- Importer readers removed programmically, take out double readers.txt
Action Items
- Chris: Add tickets for the work of combining the tracs
-
Everyone review report 11
- Flesh our requirements
- Decide if stories/requirements/tasks are all in the right place
- Chris: add tasks/requirements for merging SVNs
- Everyone: Thursday we wil review what we are doing in the next 4 weeks. Prep time!
- Chris & Brian need to hammer through the feedback
- Jason: ASCB Abstracts with Andrew
- Josh: invites Jerome to jabber.
- Chris: Think about changing Jabber!
- Chris: Follow up with BCho on annotation/tiff issue
