Notes
Accepting Minutes / Matters arising
- Jean-Marie / Josh: not worrying about IContainer at the moment
- Jason: email sent with the data
-
Windows Test Box: Chris is going to set up VMs.
- Jean-Marie: Since some things don't work over a VM (such as openGL) should we use a real machine?
- Josh: Windows builds are getting some weird errors (all windows tests failing)
- Jason: Need both windows testing and working windows tests working
- Chris': Windows server for test runs downstairs plus VMs for everyone to do windows testing
- Everyone seems ok with this option for now
-
Will's EMDB Tickets
-
All tickets are now in unscheduled (see story #2603)
- Had a meeting with Ingvar to tidy up a few things
- Non-essnetual things still left
- Josh: Can we move this story to unscheduled? Yes. (DONE)
- Jason will re-read Will's email and reply accordingly
-

Forum Use:
-
Andrew: still having problems (notifications don't work!)
- Don't save your credentials and auto-login (its broken). Log in every time!
- Chris: Still need to fix a few things here
-
Andrew: still having problems (notifications don't work!)
- Brian: checked QA and created tickets
Project status
- Increasing usage
- Zeiss discussing support of file formats on release
- Problem is now we're successful so higher demands
-
Jason has given lots of feedback on how we're presenting (we need to do much better on this)
- OME-XML and Bio-formats sight needs to be better
- Grant goes in end of year
- Kevin & Jason visiting NSF soon
- integration with ImageJ
- integration with other efforts
-
Curtis
-
Websites: is there a concrete plan? tasks? goals?
- Jason: not immediate. Let's integrate it into the way we work.
- In the next few months, slot 2-3 people to plan the tickets for website work.
- Perhaps we need a WWW usability ticket like the code usability one (#2818)
- It's the finding stuff that's key.
-
Websites: is there a concrete plan? tasks? goals?
BioFormats / C++
- We need more data on what he tried
- Chris: if we had this always building on our system we could make sure this working correctly
- Curtis: Was going to get this working on our system
- Curtis: Need to discuss this in detail with the team. Have a nice wrapper for BF + dependants
- Curtis: Would be nice if we compiled this for them so they can just download
- Chris: Mac OSX builds as well? Can we get a dedicated machine for this?
- Jason: Can we coordinate with Michael H. and work out these issues?
- OME-HDF with help / funding; currently not on the roadmap
SPIM
- Andrew: In the next two weeks we need to respond to Zeiss/Gunther with proposal
-
Jean-Marie: When is it in the Schema?
- Andrew: When the omero db changes! (Notionally Sept.)
- Chris: Perhaps a SPIM preview schema release?
- Andrew: XML annotation seems like a good fit for this (as an interm solution at least)
-
Jason: currently instrument == "Zeiss X"
- but in SPIM community, everyone is building their own scope
- so we're unfolding that component into all of its parts
- "SPIM microscope" doesn't exist. All with substantially different light paths
- Considering how hard the previous efforts were (and that they're still incomplete),
- it's asking a huge amount to have a properly typed system
-
Jason: Another option is to go to vendor developers with questions (not proj. mgrs)
- Write to Gunther etc.
- Can we handle this as a community conversation
ImageJ Distributed Computing
- Curtis: Seems that it would take less time to get OMERO working for this
- But there will always be people who don't want to install things.
- Josh: Lots of repeat effort going into this, we should help unify it
- Curtis: will speak up if any large development starts up in that direction
Sprint
- Delete should be 'code complete'
- Still 34 tickets in the queue (some VM related)
-
Are we going to expose VM stuff in 4.2.1?
- Will touch base with Donald tomorrow to see where we are at for release
- Josh: Most of this work just needs to move to hudson
- Chris: plan for the rest of the week
-
Summary: release tasks, documentation tasks, and test tasks
- Jean-Marie: Need to get a full cycle of testing (esp. delete)
-
Ola: python tests are failing on tables
- Josh: caused by change to constructor recently
- Chris will look at those during testing
- Should be ready for testing on Monday
- Target release candidate for Nightshade after that (end of next week?)
- Initial delete restricted to Admin/Root/Owner - client needs to be synced to this philosphy
-
Next phase should be big image - a few stories here. Need a discussion for this.
-
Tuesday?
- That's the report from the conferences. NoSQL, MIFIBIO, BII2010
- Keep reports short, then discuss this
-
Tuesday?
- Jean-Marie will create sprints 17 after the meeting
ASCB
- List of attending is in place
- Andrew: needs to book hotels for those going
- One booth for OME one for Glencoe (2 scientist badges)
- Jason sending out payments today
- Andrew will send payment instructions to Kevin
-
Who wants to do the setup?
- Jason/Brian in a double room booked one day early, can work out details later
- Colin happy to come out early
