Notes

  1. Accepting minutes: Accepted

  2. Matters Ariving

    • Christof and Ingmar coming to visit
  3. Jerome's Proposal

    • Some talk of a training centric proposal
      • Right around Paris meeting time
      • Jean-Marie: Some benefit to everyone coming to one spot
      • Jason: Nice to have the greater exposure from going 'on-site'
      • Chris: Seems like a UK-centric Paris meeting, maybe we could combine?
      • Jason: This would be more technical (technical workshop)
      • Jason will talk to Jerome with our feedback
  4. Demo Accounts

    • Seeing lots of request, Ola is working on it!
  5. Hudson Status

    • Hudson went down today with a hard drive problems, Chris is rebuilding
    • Currently all services (except Hudson) are back up
    • Now working on the last bit of recovery
    • New volume should be much better/faster/bigger
    • C++ in rough shape with corrupted XML, we should redo from scratch
    • Java and Python is in much better shape
  6. Status of Hudson Green

    • Jean-Marie: Is our strategy to leave new stuff off the list until things are more stable?
    • Chris: Still need to remove the test-engine (handled differently now)
    • Jean-Marie: What are we going to do with the search? (Needs to be looked at)
    • Jason: By the end of Friday close hudson and move on then!
    • Josh: Need work on documentation, also need to review and add more tests
    • Chris: Important to link tests with tickets where appropriate
    • Jean-Marie: New sprint starts today
    • Jean-Marie: What about moving existing methods to appropriate locations
      • Jason: Probably best to do this cleanup at the same time as Delete
    • Jason: Options for next step: Grouping, Delete, Big Image
    • Jason: Would be nice to notify the community with 'what we are doing' and 'why'
    • Chris: We should consider concentrating on one big thing per iteration
      • Jean-Marie: We need to consider what 'key' requirements are to do this
    • Jason: Should we do FS after Delete?
      • Chris: Doesn't make any difference which comes first
    • Chris: We should concentrate on building featurs for existing installs
    • Josh: A lot of time is Documentation, etc, even for a small task like delete. Should be lots for people to do if someone else their coding tasks done
    • Donald: Need HCS users here to be intelligent about deploying it elsewhere
      • Josh: When's the deadline for this?
      • Josh: What's needed? Donald: Not sure! (mostly client side)
      • Donald: Need to find work flows for users, gather requirements
      • Jason: Lets use our internal resources so this isn't time sensitive
      • Donald: I'm ready to go with cd-install for Paul
        • Chris: Great, we will need to work out disk space
    • Jean-Marie: Propose doing Delete in the next sprint, followed by Grouping
      • Chris: Lets see how it goes out and determine if the workload is right
      • Chris: Principle folks involved are Jean-Marie, Donald, Ola, Chris, Josh
      • Josh: Important for us to get everyone involved!
      • Jason: What can the rest of the folks do?
      • Chris: Will's EMDB project needs help?
        • Will: We are a part of the way along with our proposal
        • Jason: Will's project overlaps with other of interest (Big Images for example).
          • We can perhaps move in that direction
      • Chris: Options are Model Review, Performance.
      • Brian: What about smaller groups (two of three) doing smaller but vital tasks?
        • Packaging, Windows Install, Documentation, VM
        • VM would be good and solve a lot of issues
      • Jean-Marie: Lets get the Delete focus group present a proposal for everyone
      • Jason: Still need to get N-Dimension fixed (modelling/spec)
      • Josh: Are we doing a new API for delete, or a quick fix for 4.2.1?
        • Donald might be in both groups?
        • Everyone working on packaging but a small Delete group working on proposal
  7. Emails / Forums

    • Largely on top of things
