Minutes

Specs

N/A this week.

Schedule

m6

We are in restricted tree mode.

Cosmo 0.2.1 is part of m6 as far as feature complete is concerned. BCM needs till Wednesday night to be finished.

Individual status :

• Jed : appear in collection in tonight (2991), Wednesday night for the read only icon in markup bar (2977)
• John : only 2994, change should be small, risk medium to break something
• Jeffrey : should be good on his 2 all-day related bugs, may log a bug on the last thing broken (sunday event) if push comes to shove...
• Alec : only 3969, needs to evaluate this new one (logged yesterday)
• Bryan : Zarro bugs! Done!
• David : only 3557 to sync up with John, the other 2 are evaluation issues, no code expected
• Donn : only 4211, think it's small

We also need the extra day then to nail those remaining bugs.

0.6

We (Heikki, Aparna, Sheila and Philippe) scrubbed David's, Bear's more of John's bugs. We'll do Donn Thursday. Stay tuned for yours...

Engineering

• Schema evolution (PJE proposal): Bryan worried that we'll have issues with the proposed live parcel reloading proposal. Do we need that to solve the migration and schema evolution? We debated but, since it's not before 0.7, we need to expand the debate to the whole OSAF dev team. Bryan to rekindle the discussion on Dev.
• wx news (David) : John asked: Should we continue to do incremental updates? David thinks so. Makes integration easier and we do get good bug fixes in the way.
• Dogfooding : Donn mentions that using Chandler really changes his perspective on the product. We all need to get to do this.

People

Hiring dev in progress : Getting resumes. No interview scheduled yet. Again, leads are always welcome.

Thanks Jeffrey for the dancing rabbits presentation :)

Status

Philippe

• Worked on OSAF engineering budget
• Recruiting : sort and select resumes, phone screens, etc...
• Resolved feature issues : Delete issues, Attribute Editor issues
• Bug Council duties : scrub 0.6 bugs and assigned untargeted bugs
• Monitor m6

John

• Color is now added to a collection in its setup method
• Avoid unnecessary rendering and unrendering when the only change to a tree of blocks is its contents. So, in this case we now send onContentsChanged instead of unrendering calling onContentsChanged and rerendering. This introduces various problems, most of which have been fixed, except for the detail view which Bryan is still working on.
• Added methods to block to avoid unnecessary notifications that are a side effect of updating the screen. Not only does this get rid of extra unnecessary screen updates, it also gets rid of double clicking bugs in the Table block.
• Move most of the wxSynchronizeWidget calls on the widget to synchronizeWidget on the block, where they avoid failing when the widget doesn't exist and also avoids unexpected recursive calls.
• Fixed lots of bugs related to these changes.

Jed

• Fixed Bug#4040. Preview area is not always visible. When on the calendar view it displays Today's appointments, otherwise it displays the currently selected day's appointments.
• More border work.
• Fixed bug w/ adding new items to the proper collection.
• 2 bugs left
  • Bug#2977 - Read-only icon - probably won't happen before tomorrow
  • Bug#2991 - Appears in collection list - very close to fix

David

• worked on various bugs, fixed some of them
• worked on docs:
  • near complete - framework issues (criteria)
  • near complete - wx i18n evaluation
• identified and fixed various wx build problems and reported to wx
• suffered through a large set of wx v2.7.0 changes
