Meeting Notes

Question du Jour: Any message or mission to carry for those of us going to OSCON next week?

• John: have lots of fun!
• Philippe: Try some Chandler taglines. Take notes on what people think of Chandler (perceptions and associations).
• Bryan: Try to have a broader view of the FLOSS world.

0.7alpha3

• Lots of bugs made it late
• Not a lot of bugs fixed total over the course of alpha3
• Reid shooting for the end of the week for bug #5906
• Jeffrey working on bug #6174 (blocking)
• Andi working on bug #6266 (blocking)

0.7alpha4

• Dashboard and Scheduling (Bryan) : Lots of things are not logged in Bugzilla. We need to log the list of tasks for Dashboard.
• Free / Busy, Calendar UI (Jeffrey) : Feel fine about that work load.
• Toolbar and Print (Reid) : Need a spec on Print.
• Styles / CPIA (John) : Sidebar, looked at the spec, lots of things to do. Dashboard, concerned by the complexity in the table (especially the icons), some stuff might be too expensive to implement. May be we need testing before so we're sure that what we implement is really the right thing.
• wx (Robin) : official 2.7 getting out soon, auto merging script are not turned on yet.
• i18n / eggs (Brian and Markku) : schema work going on (DisplayName^? pulled out), finishing off the egg integration for i18n.
• parcels (Markku) : updated Feed and Flickr parcels.
• NLP (Darshana) : will commit the English parser soon, Brian to talk to her about localization of algorithms.

Misc

• Interns and SoC^? Students: Philippe to post to @general to announce the mid term presentations.

Status

John

• Create new Wing project files for each of the platforms that don't require people to make any changes before using them.

Reid

• Search bar is back in alpha 3, not alpha 4
• Going into higher gear to get it all done
• Checking in changes to wx trunk since it's not part of the app until a tarball is rolled
