Platform Team Meeting 6 June 2006

Agenda

• Question of the week: What would make an appropriate intern project for Grant's intern?
• Alpha3/4
  • bgsync branch: get more people testing? automate testing?
  • dump/reload/sharing

Notes

• Question of the week: intern project
  • email proxy/imap server (+ a few votes)
  • services unification: make sharing, parcel services like amazon use a consistent api (like email's api)
  • google data api (desktop client as data hub) (+1 a few votes)
  • egg i18n format
  • publish/subscribe to google calendar/yahoo calendar
• Alpha 3 priorities
  • background sync
  • run on intel mac
  • known improvements to performance
  • basically, to support dogfooders, in particular Mitch, Esther, Greg
• Alpha 4
  • usable dashboard (table work, domain model work)
  • usable calendar (performance, dump/reload, sharing format and other sharing improvements)
• Background sync
  • when to move to the trunk? We'd like to move to the trunk immediately after one known issue gets fixed with subscribe and unsubscribe. stamping merging won't work. Is this a problem?
  • We should take it to the list, but we'd like to push for getting it in. Better use of Andi's time, better to get more testing.
  • Its possible that we could skirt/deprioritize work merging schema once stamping gets refactored.
  • Automated testing for background sync
• Cosmo-demo issues
  • Is bgsync development against cosmo-demo a problem? shouldn't be --> the root problem is slowness in the propfind, as morgen logged in the bug.
  • Bear suggested running against 0.4 candidate and seeing if we can recreate the problems with mitch's calendar. Grant will try this -- should help as Mikeal is busy.
  • A performance unit test would be helpful, and add this to cosmo functional tests -- Mikeal could add to functional tests against the cosmo trunk
  • note: cosmo-demo and scooby-demo are running on the same hardware, only 20 users for cosmo-demo

Status

Katie

• Progress
  • tried dogfooding alpha2, and logged a series of bugs (Bug:5967, Bug:5988, Bug:5989). Bug:5967 (which was quickly fixed) was significant enough, and the trunk stable enough, that I'll use the trunk instead of alpha2 for dogfood.
  • tried out the bgsync branch, found a trivial bug (Bug:5994). It is fairly stable (with the notable exceptions of recurrence and stamping), and I think we'd benefit from more people testing beyond Morgen and Andi.
  • two dev list summaries (May 8-14, May 15 - 21), not quite caught up
  • domain model design session
  • read the stamping spec
• Plans
  • performance
  • dev list summaries

Andi

• http://kumu.osafoundation.org/~vajda/logs.cgi

Grant

• Progress
  • Rolled zanshin-150 for JeffreyHarris’s fix for 5926.
  • 5967 wonky collections after syncing to cosmo-demo with alpha2 for first time
  • 5004 change all code references to ‘content model’ → ‘domain model’
  • A couple of minor, housekeeping—type commits.
  • Led design session on stamping, and other domain model features.
  • Answered some of ErnestoRivera’s questions on Chandler development.
  • Started trying to implement http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/chandler-dev/2006-May/005882.html^? proposal.

• Plan
  • 0.7α3 domain model work.

Ted

• Progress
  • Portal discussion in last call
  • read stamping spec
  • domain model design session
  • upgraded ubuntu machine
  • started dogfooding Chandler on Intel Mac
• Plan
  • Begin portal implementation
  • branding exercise

Morgen

• Progress
  • Implemented a repo view pool for the subscribe/publish dialogs
  • Worked with Andi to reproduce sharing-triggered bugs
  • Added a field to the Subscribe dialog for Jeffrey
  • Discussed sharing format with PJE
• Plan
  • Sharing view should only be used for content items
  • Continue the sharing format discussion
  • Land the bgsync branch?

PJE
