   • Will: Reminder for pyramid performance discussion as per Christopher Wood's email - Still needs adding to agenda for when Chris is back.
     • Chris: same or similar problem on forums (mem & web threads)
     • Possibly most straight-forward to turn off FS-lite for TIFFs.
     • Will: annoying to have to wait for non-big tiffs
     • Chris: not possible to turn off on size basis.
     • Chris: if we turn off FS-lite for TIFF, then pyramid generation is slow but on fly.
     • Andrew: could we put in a fake file format (small TIFF / big TIFF)?
       • Then handle them differently?
       • Chris: one way to do it.
       • Chris: best way to do it is to have it be configurable, options menu, etc.
       • Will: similar to bug found in script (rois)
         • Doesn't work on TIFF of any size, because you can't change your tile size
         • Chris: will be changing that in 4.3.2 anyway.
         • Ola was also asking for resolution 0 and getting the whole image
         • Chris: did that because we didn't have time to test image boundaries, etc.
         • Can test and then relax it.
   • Will: Ticket ldap user changing groups as per forum message - Done #6248
   • Will: Reply to micro-array email - Done Tissue microarray - Want "images in grid" - forum and #6281
     • Will: Nothing in SPW says anything about plate dimension? No.
     • Josh: Most likley they want a BF reader that generates a plate layout. Maybe we should suggest this to them.
     • Will: Suggested they go into insight and arrange colums ito shows them correclty - not best solution however.
   • Chris: See 'idea about attaaching same name file on server' forum message, please reply
     • Both Josh and Will have replied. Is a training issue
     • Will: Have an issue with their old version and functionality we have in newer versions
     • Josh: They have also supplied us with a patch, which is still to be added.
   • Will: Ask jmateos how he is importing his files to get different metadat in web vs insight - Done qa:3869
   • Brian: check on QA 3861/62. Test with latest dev build and reply - Done
   • Brian: Reply to QA 3860. Is this reproducable? - Done
   • Will: Respond to 3858, ask him to restart/try server diag, logs. Create ticket "No Processor Available" - Done see #6249. This may be more of an Error Handling "Try again later" issue than bug.
     • Josh: "No processor available" isn't a retryable error; means no processor likes this script
     • Will: also a question from Imperial to enable batch projection
     • Chris: Don't see why we shouldn't enable it.
     • Andrew: add a warning in the tick box.
     • Chris: error reported to user in client should say more then just "no processor error"
   • Brian: 3844. Respond and ask about image size + suggest update - Done
   • Andrew: Order new machine for Scott - Done
   • Andrew: respond to ASCB re: next year - Done
   • Jason: Future discussion about marketing and outreach - UNKNOWN/TABLED

3. Any other business (<5 mins)

   • FS (Josh/Colin/Chris)
     • Reorganizing some of ticket 909 based on repository feedback
     • Chris: over 8 weeks, 4 of us will only overlap for about 5 days, and there's no Tuesday.
     • Ok to do a Thursday presentation on the 11th?
   • Web (Will/Carlos/Chris/Ola)
     • Ola: Will has merged webscripts
     • Josh: So we are adding additional scripting features in 4.3.2? Ola: Yes
     • Chris: plan was to improve background functionality via scripts.
   • 4.3.0/1 VM
     • Simon: put in devteam a week back that there's a VM for 4.3.0 from Donald
     • Could add some documentation and make it available. (4.3.1 as well)
     • Chris: worth a shot.
     • Andrew: need to be clear that this isn't necessarily for your whole institution
     • Chris: did we solve the failing nightly builds? No, tomorrow.
   • HIC update (Simon)
     • Changed focus from tables to governance/auditing/etc.
     • HIC meeting this morning. Now going to move all tickets to main stream for better visibility
     • Will be adding to FS and alternative storage features as part of the project now
   • Batch annotation
     • Will: work on a dataset?
     • Chris: don't know if it's enabled in Insight
     • We don't have much feedback yet.
     • Chris: won't be able to address any of this before September.
   • Trainings: Ola/Andrew
     • We could organize trainings like Norwich
     • As opposed to ASCB (just sending a poster)
   • Stories/requirements: Andrew
     • What's happening to Donald's tickets?
     • FLIM story with a lot of closed tasks. Close to finish?
     • Should have JMB/Jason look over what remains
     • Chris: We should at least assign these all to someone for cleanup

Action Items

* Jean-Marie: handle FLIM stories, possibly re-assign all Donald tickets.
