  - 36 in 4.3 that start with "bug"

- Organize conference call during ImageJ hackathon. Invite Adam?
  - Curtis: Albert, Johannes, Adam
  - 2-3 even 1 day is ok.
- Chris: backup DB and upgrade nightshade (DONE)
  - Users are playing with ROI.
  - Iain reported a bug. Possible hiccup of a service?
    - Ok after a restart.
- Everyone: After meeting, evaluate your tickets in sprint (DONE)
- Carlos: Get together with Will for Selenium tests (DONE)
Scott's presentation on Insight and Web (45 mins)
- Quick updates with status of Web work from the last few weeks
- Looking for info back from the team in certain areas
- Expectations from browsing data, metadata, viewing images in insight v. web
- Range of consistency issues
  - Export, ROI, Scripting, ...
  - Collaboration work with external projects influencing decisions
- Chris: we don't have a long list of things we want to make the same, right?
  - Scott: have a couple of pages. But not as tickets.
  - Donald: are they tentative changes?
  - We've had the conversation a lot.
  - Should we have a deadline?
  - Chris: To understand where we are, we need that info somewhere (tickets)
  - Donald: start with Scott's screenshot.
- Chris: we (also) need documented what we're NOT going to make the same.
- Jean-Marie: different icons on feature-list and in each client.
- Will: first thing, don't add any functionality, just re-arrange (same place)
  - then you can see what's there, and what's not (without looking somewhere different)
- Donald: this is more of a mini-group topic.
- Chris: Scott needs to be careful when going back to the scientists
  - We've been to them several times with "icon placement", etc.
  - We should have the information somewhere.
  - Donald: the result of those discussions is more or less the Insight UI.
  - Scott: should be taking things back to them more towards the end.
- Comments / questions?
  - Jean-Marie: what is the time-frame?
    - End of next-iteration we do a review?
    - (Scott away for a week and 2 days)
    - Review at end of iteration 5
  - Chris: Exhaustive list within 4 weeks
  - Jean-Marie: then we can keep reviewing.
  - Jean-Marie: if Scott sees icons that need to be changed in Insight, then make ticket.
  - Jean-Marie: then we can have the conversations about publication, etc.
  - Jean-Marie: we'll need to also have our documentation synchronized as well.
Any other business (<5 mins)
- Curtis: Transitioning Bio-Formats to Git after the meeting?
  - Will start doing it now.
  - Next will be disabling commits.
  - Any problems? No.
- Crieff (late March)
  - Chris not going.
  - Scott: do we need to do a poster? Yes.
  - Jean-Marie: what do we want to get out of it? Has it been beneficial?
  - Chris: got some good contact with Ron's lab last year.
  - But many of those contacts have been made.
  - Jean-Marie: perhaps an OMERO day is better.
  - Jean-Marie: perhaps not useful until we have more integrated analysis tools
  - Chris: not a lot of advance from their perspective.
