Minutes
1.6 release update
Darius has a question on a few tickets that are blocking 1.6 release:
Ticket 2103 - Concept Name/Description/Synonyms don't display correctly. Jeremy & Ada are working to assess the impact of this issue.
Ticket 1725 - Adding Deactivate/Reactivate or Retire/Unretire Options in User Form. Darius would like someone to go over this and confirm his comments or add others if possible. Sy will work on this.
If these tickets require work, it may delay RC1 until next week.
RC1 should stay out for at least a week of actual use. If nothing gets filed, move to final release.
GSoC 2010
Michael will handle the application for GSoC this year. Burke will get him the materials from last year to use as a template.
Applications for organizations will be accepted next week.
The following people will be mentors (and maybe others): Ben, Darius, Win, Wyclif, Sy, Jeremy. If you are willing to be a mentor this year, please contact Michael.
OASYS update
Zeshan gave an update on the OASYS project. Development is underway.
The team sent out an update to the developers list a few days ago and is hoping to get feedback ASAP.
Everyone is encouraged to review and comment on the requirements documents that have been posted to the wiki.
Web strategy
Â
Misc.
The meetings are going well, but we need to make sure people on the phone and on Skype have more opportunity to speak up. More pauses would help.
IRC is useful. More people should get on IRC during the meetings.
