Notes

  1. Accepting minutes from last meeting

    • DONE
  2. Matters Arising (<10 mins)

    • Someone figure out how to take notes by contacting Josh
      • Thanks Andrew!
    • Andrew: schedule discussions of storing big images in OME-TIFF (compressiong / tiling)
      • DONE Preliminary meeting on Wednesday or Friday
      • Chris: decide across the project what a “big image” is.
      • Jean-Marie: intermediate cases are problematic
        • “big images phase 2”
    • Curtis: remove eclipse files from git. - DONE
    • Will: validate new bio-formats build for filter issue - DONE
    • Andrew / Will / et al: meeting Wed. for coming up with the movie schedule - lots of discussion, nothing firm
      • Will: don’t need to all be separate movies
      • Movies should be divided by feature rather than client
      • Chris: 5 min. long, etc.?
      • JM: cannot assume familiarity with other client
      • Too many for client owner. Will have to split like testing.
      • Andrew:
        • Standard script for introductions?
        • Jean-Marie: was supposed to put that on the page.
        • Consistency: name, version, subject
  3. Movie for OMERO as a whole. (perhaps on front page?) * e.g. how to find other movies, etc. * Chris: install movies are ancient * Jean-Marie: have training in 2 weeks time, so focus on those.

  4. Josh: Virtual box and server movie better combination

    • Discuss Tweets after release
      • Andrew will tweet release
  5. Status of release 4.3.2

    • Chris packaged everything yesterday.

      • Annoying issues (Déjà vu to 4.3.1)
      • Leave develop alone for the next while
      • Use team.git or github for the moment.
      • Hopefully more automatic in 4.4
      • Can re-evaluate renaming various pieces (jars, etc.)
    • Missed one big image export bug in Insight (int overflow)

      • Came 15 minutes after release builds.
      • Similar problem (integer size) in SVS files (fix as part of 4.4)
    • Will did various last minute Bio-Formats checking.

    • Next releaese will hopefully be a little easier.

    • Will: We will have to put some thought into

      • e.g. EMDB
      • create “previews”
      • Josh: if we do things right, then hudson should be able to help us do the integration.
      • Josh: DO not push to ome.git, be careful and we can get hudson to do stuff for us.
    • We can slow down and figure out what we want to do.

      • Jason: The list will grow in future so planing will help ourselves in the future
    • Left to do
