Harry,
Agenda + minutes
Orange texts are minutes
from the 24th of March
1)
Suggestions topics and potentially times for the next 2 Virtual DNA Developers
meetings. E.g. testing, documentation etc. How should these meetings be
recorded etc?
GW: Graeme is away from now
till the 18th of April (AWA: My notes say May but this must be
April?) and maybe more.
AWA: Next meeting 21st
of April? Agenda for
GW: Best if meetings are
quite focused? And maybe only 1hr -2hrs.
Continuous agenda items – release and
bugzilla and dev bb review.
GW: 1.0.1 and incorporating scaling
merging etc. could be same meeting.
Target 1.0.1
Olof agreed to compare main and release
branch to find out missing bugs. Graeme asked for scheduler differences to be
checked past him first.
Meet in 2.5 weeks to discuss 1.0.1
2)
Review of Conversations/threads recently held on dna-dev
GW: focus on 1.0.1 and 1.1 discussions?
There was a suggestion for more specific
was of discussing topics e.g.
Olof: blogs?
GW: blogs and wikkis were not very successful in eHTPX, better maybe more
specific mailing lists?
Steve: vid conf
could offer the alternative
An agreement was reached to give the
video conf a try to see if this can work for now.
3)
Priorities and short term goals. Olof has made the following suggestions to me
off line (I hope its OK that I include a version of it
here, with my additions, as the basis for discussion Olof)
Short
term goals:
-
Plans for SRS pipeline experiment
AWA: nobody here to discuss.
Karen – do you want any assistance with this? From DLS we would like to visit
during the tests.
Darren needs to find out from ISpyB developers what part needs to be done by Monday 11th
of April? Pxweb will be used for first test but maybe
by second week of May ISpyB could be used.
Darren will contact Karren.
-
Release of 1.0.1. 1st of April or just after the
meeting.
(see later point 4)
GW: 1st of April
impossible but mid April possible for Release Candidate and
Now to be discussed
fully in 2.5 weeks.
Weds or later on the week starting the 18 maybe 21st.
-
Progress on Graeme's graeme branch
GW: currently Andrew is trying
to test it. After this decide how to merge after tests.
AWA: (comment after
meeting!) suggest set deadline of deciding what to do by
ACTION
alun to distribute Graeme’s doc to dna-dev – DONE but this doesn’t describe the
Graeme branch.
Graeme will endeavour to strip out what
he doesn’t think should be in there as in what shouldn’t be in DNA. Then people
will review.
-
Progress with second image formats branch.
GW: Many changes made but
not currently tested. Changes are not going to be in 1.0.1 there maybe scope to
expand to also include CBF imgCIF support but this may not be in the right time
scale so nothing to say yet.
Timescales? After dna-dev meeting.
Aim before ACA at end of May. Danger of the branch breaking what is there… also
conflicts with Graeme and image branch.
-
Creating of branches "pipeline" and "dose".
GW: good thing.
Dose branch not that
difficult to do but impact on small ways in little places. Postpone till dev
Pipeline branch should occur for changes
in SRS?
Most changes done?
- In branch "pipeline" hook up
the scheduler to the ISPyB database.
GW: Could hooks between
scheduler and ispyb happen in‘another
branch’?
AWA: Graeme has too many
branches at the moment. And this work is not completely about pipelining
(though needed by it). It could do with a branch just for itself as Graeme
doesn’t want to be dependant on this big and potentially long time pipeline
branch. He thinks the hooks branch could be done first/at the same time and put
into head for other branches earlier than the pipeline branch.
pipeline will occur
changes for scheduler will occur in the main
head.
Has to be back in by
1.1 as some is already in the head.
-
Review of XSD and GUI changes required for pipeline experiment.
AWA: Wrong people –
potential for specific meeting next/week after
This has been started by Karen
-
Definition of the core scheduler/xia committee - finalisation of nominations.
AWA: Nothing new.
This will now be done by AWA
-
Discussion on 'codes of practice' this committee e.g. should all
decisions be unanimous or majority
vote?
GW: Exec can decide on
voting.
AWA: Discussions must be
made on dna dev and decisions announced.
Best to have conversations on DNA-DEV if
possible even if decisions done off line.
Recommend unanimous vote for a trial
period until full DNA meeting in summer.
-
Creation of DNA module and DNA project web pages.
GW: Web pages good.
AWA: Need to set up auto
update from cvs.
-
Testing.
GW: Define testing? Etc….
AWA: some ideas e.g.
testing days where dev on call…
Medium
term goals:
-
Inclusion of 1.1 release goals like scaling & merging, point group
determination, automatic screening and
ranking etc.
GW: mid term goals need to
be focused before we get into long term.
Long
term goals:
-
DNA 2.0 goals like kappa and inclusion of XIA.
-
DNA data model.
-
etc.
14.00
4) Release 1.0.1.
Review of Bugzilla and allocation of bugs
to be included in 1.0.1
Each developer is asked to review the
status of bugzilla bugs!
