Everyone: make sure all 4.3 tickets are appropriately created - DONE
- JMB: Need to go through them again, some new tickets added
-
Everyone: Review all testing tickets every meeting
-
JMB: Do we want keep current 4.3 story open and add bugs there, or get more specific?

Scott/Brian: Need to get testing tickets ready before each meeting! Reviewing them now each meeting
- Scott: Have notes set up for myself, just need to go through with everyone.
- JMB: Would be good to have remind people of their tickets
- Chris: Some big image testing is going to be very slow
-
Chris: Colin and I talked about metadata only transfer issues, needs to be solved this sprint.
- Some of this ticketed, but some of the stuff from jp2000 need cleanup (10 or 15 items)
-
Everyone: See report 9. Owners rationalize/fix/assign your tickets to stories/sprints
-
Chris: Down to 120 or so tickets from 150
- Saturated now, should not add anything more but bugs
-
Adjusting the measurement tool to work with big images is a concern! Big ticket item!
- JMB: May just have to turn this off
-
Chris: Down to 120 or so tickets from 150

- Mostly small things, (2 big ones that might get moved to another story)
- Donald: cleanup #1970 assigning times, etc. - DONE
- Brian: cleanup #3592 documentation page - DONE
-
Andrew: put loose tasks into #3657 - UNKNOWN
- Since no decision, lets move it off this release

- Make new sprint
- Estimates
- Close old sprint and move other tasks into new sprint
-
Notes:
- JMB: 1 more sprint, then a short 1 week sprint then code freeze
- Chris: Going to start pushing hard on the 5th. Should have less then 75 tickets by then
- Jason: So for next spring only want tickets certain to be done so no backlog (close to zero)
-
Chris: Big Image summary
- Web client can visualize
- Import working with some hard coded thresholds (images with > 1 million pixels)
- Hard coding the tile sizes to 256 squared, which will change later
- Thumbnail generation should work now
-
Looiming Problems:
- Performance is slow, need to compress jp2000 images in parallel. Scheduled for next sprint
-
Webclient defaulting to rez zero (most zoomed out). Will need to precalc these rezzes
- JMB: Might have to push this beyond 4.3
- Automated pyramid generation. Working now but embedded in Josh's code.
-
Strategy for what a big image is?
- Jason: Tons of 1Kx1K images out there
- Hard code to 2Kx2K so most people's data will just 'work'
- JMB: some folks using 2K by 256 have problem, need a better solution
- Chris: Without getting into details lets discuss it offline
-
Chris: Performance issues, what is acceptable threshold?
- How can we make it work in multi-dimensional cases?
- Everything right now is serial, need to go multi-threaded
- JMB: Sounds like its better to discuss in a week or so
-
Chris: Also big issue with data transfer, currently uncompressing, sending raw, recompressing on server
- Decompession time of pyramids is effectively zero
- Ola: will need some web changes if displaying original data that isn't square
-
Chris: Still need to get the metadata export and file copy working (ala FS)
