  3. 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
    • 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)
      • 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.
    • Email and Forum Review - checked mid-morning (5 mins) started at 15:03

      • Email -

        • 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.
