Accepting minutes from last meeting
-
Josh: worried that FS wont be possible to be a point release
- Jean-Marie: pass it to sites as a separate branch
- Josh: just make API changes but dont enable it. Version hell if it is used on other sites.
- Colin: API file changes?
- Josh: Slice (Ice interface definition) file changes
- Colin: something in addition to changes.
- Josh: Get changes to Slice definitions that you have then we will be safe, nothing more than 909, if they dont go on then there wont be a prod server with this code
- Colin: minor modifications, some things removed,
- Josh: any changes, your code against a server, binary protocol change. Any API changes should be 4.4.0, will become complicated otherwise.
- Colin: No Slice changes other than in a major release.
- Josh: be careful, but the ones in 909 might lead to fatal exceptions, needs testing against a different version.
- Josh: will be an experimental branch, monash was dangerous working on experimental branch but they understood it
-

Minigroup Updates (points for Sprint page) - Started 14:42Z
- Model * Jean-Marie: need extra sprint for channel / logical channel to go ahead.

- Josh: need the build to run to completion
-
cant let this slide

- Josh, Will: Agreed, all hands on database!
- Melissa: Should be okay and then code freeze pushed back...
- Jean-Marie: yes as previously agreed.

* merged in Wills branch to test 8471
- Will: js update branches and odd bug fix branch updated, small bit of work on connection infrastructure need to test Chris latest anon. user stuff.
- Ola: concentrating on pushing Doms UI changes to web instance. Need strategy of when to update the UI changes, daily/nightly strategy of updating and notfification of visible changes ready for testing, discuss with Scott and Gus on how we want to do this
- Josh: QA trunk build building nightly?
- Ola: not about building, everyday one person updates the server
- Jean-Marie: Thursday @ 2pm platform for testing discussion.
- Ola: Separate Virtual host for web, different web client same backend Omero server.
- Insight - 14:59Z nothing
- FS - 14:59Z nothing
- Usability - 14:59Z
- Gus: working on getting ready for training materials to revamp them
- Jean-Marie: feedback forms from students. How long do they have?
- Gus: have results back, need to put report together for meeting (number of other teachers who may be interested)
-
Ola: CLS
- Were testing colin changes to FS branch; dont have every file imported (was failing)
- promised that we would show the server working in April
-
2 remaining tasks:
- re-organize the data under 2 levels of hierarchies (currently 4 or 5) * 1 day worth of work, dir creation and moving
-
import: dont know how long it takes, because may have to be run by hand for every dataset
- might not be possible to import the data in one shot
- do it this week or wait a week?
- Colin: have you tested the latest? Ola: No, was buliding
- Colin: might be a problem with a file handle or memory leak. Might be related to closing of PixelStore
- Ola: how to organize it to plan her(Olas) work.
- Ola: would also be good to prepare some test tags for that server. Anyone helping? Scott was thinking of helping
- Bio-Formats - 15:04Z
- Melissa: nothing to add.
- Chgrp/public-data - 15:04Z
- dicsussed earlier
- Josh: largely in bug testing, annotations not being moved then well have to label it as a known bug.
-
Josh: permissions front, minimal support for world readable groups, separation of canAnnotate and canEdit as well as code-gen on model
- Hopefully wont impact API so wont have to take them in to account.

Big images / learning
- Done: 15:07Z
Splash Screen text: OME / OMERO. - 15:07Z
- Jean-Marie: As a group we need to decide OME or OMERO.
- Will: make sense to call it OMERO.
- Will: OME organisation, OMERO application. Word doesnt say “Microsoft” bigger.
- Ola: OME and OMERO are quite close
- Josh: Cant make decision today, Liza and Dom come up with splash screen within the style guide.
- Dom: can provide screenshots
- Elwood: big impact because there are a lot of references (esp. if killing “OMERO”)
- Dom: just visually, Lizas logo attempts to solve ome / omero problem
-
Liza: OME and OMERO logo? or wait for the decision?
- Doms works but depends on name change happening.
-
Ola: why have logo and not just name? Dom: want to push the logo as much as possible.
- Dom: once brand name becomes synonymous with logo just drop name, in the long distant future!
- Jean-Marie: would be good to know what you want to do on the web front, so we can better handle the java popup (more than just the logo)
-
Jean-Marie: specify default group that the user want to enter in to.
- Dom: from a workflow perspective, need to investigate
