Notes

  1. Accepting minutes from last meeting

    • Accepted
  2. Matters Arising (<10 mins)

    • Andrew: Add ticket and/or close ome-xml.org - See #5157
      • TICKETED
    • Melissa: Add ticket and/or create bioformats landing page (auto-generated content, etc)
      • PENDING
    • Andrew: figure out how to filter other ome.org.* domains from google - See #5155
      • Way to do this is to get the redirects going, need to alter apache config
      • Waiting to do this (needs testing before we do it)
      • Pushed out till after 4.3 (needs domain name changes, etc)
    • Brian: figure out how many revision counts outside of WorkPlan
      • Can be done by hand - ticketed
      • JMB: We should also remove the deprecated pages from the wiki
      • JMB: Most WorkPlan should go - maybe some can stay
    • Brian: Convert all ome.git links to source links
      • Related to above (action itemed below)
    • Andrew: find different method to expose autogenerated ome-xml docs on web
      • Andrew: Only way to do this is to check code out, rsync to new location for exposing to web
      • Josh: There is a way to git command an export tar archive. So you don't need entire code base
        • Andrew: OK, Would still need to copy to new location, Needs to be done by cron on necromancer
        • Chris will
    • Brian: email Carne about OMERO.importer log file (let him know not currently configurable)
      • Done
    • Brian: email Shawn (QA) about recurring issue
      • Done
  3. Web Mobile - Release and Testing (10 mins)

    • Right now can browse tree. Seems to work ok but if we want for 4.3, needs testing
    • JMB: Needs a testing script?
      • Ola: Needs testing of big images
    • Will: Viewer only works with iphone right now
    • JMB: Is it worth it right now?
      • Will: wonder if we should just turn off viewer for non-iPhones. Everything else is compatible and useful
      • Seems a shame to not let people know about it
    • Chris: Hasn't really been tested in front of users and should be
    • Ola: Could we 'rebrand/pair down' this to just a data browser and release that? As a compromise?
      • Team says thats reasonable and a possibility
  4. UK e-Science All Hands Meeting 2011 - abstract due in 2 weeks (5 mins)

    • Scott has emailed Jason about feedback on abstract
    • Plan is to make a common paper with Jason, Jerome, Mark, Scott
  5. Sprint Progress (30 mins)

    • Discussion

      • Chris (Big Images):
        • One outstanding ticket with oblong images, working on it now
        • Colin + Chris doing min/max should be done soon (#5098)
      • JMB: What do we want to do with the large pool of outstanding tickets?
        • Add to 4.4 instead of 4.4? Wait till after Paris?
        • Chris: Don't think we have much choice. Have to have 4.4 set before Paris
        • Chris: Feeling is that there are a few things in outstanding that could go into 4.4 but they are poorly outlined
        • Josh: We're just going to have to bite the bullet and find a way to manage unscheduled
        • Chris: sNeed to clean up component and ticket milestone menus - things in there that are never used
      • Scott: Testing - Question from Imperial is it possible to make a public server available?
      • Scott: Mark/Imperial want a testing server (with new features demo'd)
      • Chris: we can always point them at gretzky and make them a few accounts
      • Josh: We may want to have one of our internal test servers be windows as well (virtual machine)
      • Scott: Time frame for this?
        • Chris: Don't know yet. Comes down to deployment issues. Non-trivial.
        • JMB: Need tickets for creating virtual machine, installing, etc. Should have a testing script for this.
    • Scott: Additional test scenario up big image upgrade test.

      • (This is largely covered in the above)
      • Scott: Added a test scenario, sent Simon a preview of the docs for his feedback
      • Will: Alot of my documentation changes need stories / testing scenarios
        • Folks should be able to go to our documentation and find working examples and samples
    • Code Freeze on Thursday. Everyone ready?

      • Josh: Two big things outstanding - retry exception handling AND sha1
        • May need to set up a mini group tomorrow morning with Ola/Will
      • Carlos: Should be ready
      • Scott: Ready to send out testing tickets - folks will need to add their time estimates
