OSAF Staff Meeting April 20, 2006

Agenda

• project updates
• sprint week

Notes

• Chandler update -- Philippe
  • look at ChandlerBugsGraphs for graphs of open bugs and bug find/fix rates
  • alpha2 slipped by two weeks due to wx tarball issues
    • John: tarball is ready to roll, one bug left that is not blocking
  • Chandler developers: help fix remaining alpha2 bugs, help write functional tests if you have met your deadlines already
  • Mitch: are we expecting internal dogfooders to switch to alpha2?
    • Katie: yes, that is the current plan. The release should be stable, but it might be slow. If it is too slow, or if we have some unexpected bug or problem, then we'll have to go back to 0.6.1, but the plan of record is to move people to alpha2.
  • Greg and Freada are now set up using Chandler (0.6.1), so Mitch is now able to coordinate calendars with Freada. This is a great milestone! Getting this use case to work is one of the original motivations for OSAF.
• Cosmo update -- John

• Scooby update -- John
