Sprint/milestone
-
Things we need to discuss (Josh)
- Deliverables and status cF. Paris list
-
Process: scenarios/testing/minigroups
- Certainly need a minigroup meeting for
-
Notes
- Andrew: Scott made tickets and passed them to Andrew
- scheduled to start on the first
- All seem to be
-
Deliverables needing Testing
- ticket 5992 for orphaned images and hierarchy improvements (6005)
-
webscripts scenarios (6200)
- COVERS: scripts, exporting, delete, ...
- leaving on 14th of August
- Chris: enough time to run through one round of scenarios before you go?
- How many changes left to make? Not much. Pretty minor. One little bug.
- Today worked on map parameters. Roughly same functionality as insight.
-
Josh: Need to be careful with testing and then passoff with this.
- Need to make sure it doesn't block release (perhaps branch it)
- Will: contactable, so should be able to do bits and pieces.
- Worst case: turn off by not showing the one button.
- Chris: biggest worry is that background tasks and functionality is all changed.
- Ola: delete will be tested; if affected, we will know.
- Ola: was doing some deletion and didn't notice anything.
-
Chris: any changes by middle of next week to be considered.
- Feature freeze: August 3rd
- SPW starts on Monday (1684)
- Rendering: 6205
-
VM 2678
- Chris: what scenarios?
- Josh: need a list of scenarios that team run against the VM
-
validator 5924 - deprecating web and using command line
- > < ul>
- dev docs
- Andrew has things to add (see actions)
-
bf incorrect
- jpeg and netcdf are not happening for 4.3.2
- 4.3.2 is new formats and polishing (big image formats with documentation)
-
Work in branches
- Preference settings 4550 (investigation)
- XSLT Downgrades 3809 -- probably not
- FS (josh) - need to add it to roadmap
- Silo (Josh) - ditto
- chgrp (Josh) - ditto
-
Will: what was the scheduled date?
- Chris: ostensibly for end of August, but not that much of a problem to push it
-
Josh: not too worried about the time line, more worried about the scope
- 4.2.2 balloned: tempting to do that again since 4.3.1 is out the door. It's a comfortable position.
- Makes testing it very difficult; basically becomes a full release
-
Things we need to discuss (Josh)
Glencoe Update
Minigroup Updates
-
HIC (Josh)
- story 4625 server-side pair-programming.
- Planning on moving the simple silo API server-side
- but that means that it's time to sit down and discuss/debate this concept
- need team-wide buy-in.
- will provide a presentation after the FS presentation.
-
FS (Chris)
- few changes from Colin and Chris are on the branches
- "abusing" repository API to archive things in a structured manner.
- all BF pixel buffers are reading directly from the files.
- need to make it more realistic.
- once Jean-Marie is back, we will need to decide a few things about how the API looks
-
then decide how we want to decide how we want to do the imports
- draw a line in the sand between a archiving system and a FS system.
-
Melissa, research/work for performing setId operations without doing setId?
- No reader loop, plus we already have the metadata.
- goal: initializing file sets as quickly as possible
- impl 1: saving the initialization state?
- impl 2: primed startup?
- Josh: story for that? No. Need it on
-
Model (Andrew)
- Trying to get transforms done (downgrade from 2008 more than bare bones)
- Next: modifying unit tests and how its built.
-
Web
-
exception handling (Will)
- re-use insight method on what to handle and what not
- decide on proper point in the stack to put all of that.
- goal is to hide as much from the user as possible. (should be really clear)
-
exception handling (Will)
-
Meta (Andrew)
- Andrew: Should we add "FS" to this section? Yes.
-
Josh: Should we add "Web", too? Chris: Probably, minutes are up
- Josh: just putting up minutes hasn't really been working.
-
Andrew: best way to handle incoming tickets?
-
Josh: specification & model component, then moved everything to the specification component
- specification is not just changes to specification, but also validator
- Josh: but can also use a backlog like Scott's "usability backlog"
- Need to make sure that those tickets come out of the walled garden and integrate with the rest of the team
-
Chris: what are you trying to aggregate?
- Andrew: trying to find a place to see all the suggestions that people have made
- Chris: use wiki page with ticket links and some description?
- Will: isn't that just a ticket?
- Chris: possibly use keywords. Andrew: sounds good.
-
Josh: specification & model component, then moved everything to the specification component
-
HIC (Josh)

- Martin Spitaler [ome-users] unusual problem with file import * One particular type of TIFF doesn't get detected. * Chris will take the file and add it for testing.
- Alex Herbert [ome-devel] Bioformats LOCI Plugin for ImageJ * on Melissa's list to deal with * wants to connect to OMERO with the BF/ImageJ way of doing things
- Various [ome-users] problem with JPG export 'write protection' * J-M handling; thought bug was fixed previously
- Alexander Tournier [ome-users] loading images from matlab rounds doubles to integers * Will has replied; rendering doubles (unsupported) * ok, he'll write integers
- Alexander Tournier [ome-users] loading data frmo matlab to an Image in OMERO in two phases (PixelsStore exception) * Will will reply. * Need to get some of the ticketed fixes scheduled * also needed for hosting tomograms, otherwise they won't render (0.0-1.0 floating points) * Will: setPlane isn't callable on an existing image. * Chris: not much we can do about that right now. Significant impact to change it.
