TLC Meeting June 12, 2007

The TLC met by teleconference on June 12, 2007 at 1:00 PM EDT.

Agenda

  1. Implementing auto-generated project pages

    • Uploading XML files to project directories
    • Notifying PMs to fill them out

  2. Starting up the project review process.

  3. Slowdown of Web site: what's happening?

  4. Status of merging development branches into trunk and CoinUtils release.

  5. Scripts for automatically running build tools.

  6. Installation verification tests.

Notes

  1. Kipp has generated an XML file template and an accompanying OSLT file such that each project manager can now edit just the XML template and upload. When the XML file is opened in a user's browser in the presence of the OSLT file, the HTML will be generated on the fly by the browser. This seems to be the perfect solution to allow project manager to edit the content on the "auto-generated" project information page. The steps to get everything implemented are:

    • Ted will generate an fully-commented XML template and an accompanying wiki page explaining to project managers what to do.
    • The template will be added to each project's conf/ directory and the project managers instructed to edit it.
    • Laci will create a post-commit script to copy the files over to the COIN Web server in the proper location. He will also install the OSTL file.

  2. With the auto-generation of project pages almost implemented, it is time to get back to project review. Everyone was reminded to check the project review page and take care of their assigned projects.

  3. The Web site has been extremely slow lately. It was agreed to look into possible fixes such as purchasing more memory for the server or upgrading the server. Ted will touch base with Matt about this.

  4. Laci will organize a telecon to move forward on the process of merging branches/devel into trunk and getting all trunk versions synchronized. This should be done quickly.

  5. Laci and/or Andres will write scripts to automatically run the build tools in order to keep all the projects in better sync.

  6. Laci will look into eliminating dependence of unit tests on the Data/ directory and encouraging PMs to depend only on the Sample/ directory instead.
