      • 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?
        • Chris: Don't see a need to partition. Should be able to pick up with "BUG" prefix
    • 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
    • Scott: look over your useability stories and rationalize for 4.3 - DONE

  3. Generating sprint # (45 mins)

    • What New Tasks were added to old sprint
    • What Tasks are left in old sprint
    • 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)
