Notes
Accepting minutes: Accepted
Matters Ariving
- Christof and Ingmar coming to visit
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
-
Some talk of a training centric proposal
Demo Accounts
- Seeing lots of request, Ola is working on it!
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
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
