- Feedback today please
-
Sysadmin (current board and recent PRs)
-
Memory usage on openstack
- Too much running. GPFS being killed

Memory usage on openstack
Glencoe Update (Chris)
- Emil: Rendering engine and integer colours PRs merged
- Chris working on memoizer
AOB (5 mins max - technical discussions should be highlighted to relevant people and rescheduled)
- Various funding proposals being submitted over next 3 months
Presentation: Roger usage stats (15mins)
- Mostly Java 1.8 (96%) and Python 2.7 now
- Ice 3.6 now about 50% - Ice 5.3 in older products
- OS: Windows 50%, Mac OS 30%, Linux 20% (increasing)
- OMERO 5.3 (April 2017) still fewer hits than OMERO 5.2
-
Ice 3.5 (OMERO 5.3) usage small, probably internal (seen before release)
- External Ice 3.5 very small - can drop support.
- OS: 55% of Linux is Debian/Ubuntu
- OMERO.server 98% Linux. Other Mac usage probably internal
- CentOS 6 very small now. Not used at all for OMERO.web deployment
-
JRS:
- what would it take to expand Bio-Formats upgrade to other implementations, i.e., Matlab.
- For a few of these would be great to get the raw numbers so we can plot in more usable, viewable form.
- re: killing offer versions of dependencies for OMERO 5.4. We should ask for feedback, announce and then give people chance for at least 4-6 weeks of updates.
-
JAM:
- Invert order {agent,requirement} → {requirement,agent}
-
Correlate OMERO.web and OMERO.server
- RL: problem of infrequent restarts for server applications without periodic pings
- RL: could offer admin notifications of updates
- MTBC: perhaps ping “uptime” on shutdown?
- Roger: DB is 150 GB on disk. 70 million hits. 10 GB per index.
