Minutes
- Note build etc status items in Agenda above (not repeated here)
- Kepler 7.0.4 build - Carston has pushed his fix for https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427474 to Gerrit; needs approval. Beth will approve to get it into build. Hoping this will go into tomorrow's aggregation build for SR2 RC3.
- Dave completed check-in of mpich debug support for interactive debugging in master/Luna.
- John has refactored synchronized projects backend, working on refactoring/cleanup of front end interface. Makes sync projects more efficient.
- Likes Steve's command line integration (GUI terminal), feels this is important and useful
- Chris has done ETFw refactoring, cleaned up storage in variable maps, cleaner implementation. Fix for revert bug will be available soon https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416426
- Carston explained that caching has been added to monitoring's LML_DA. This was presented at September ptp-dev meeting. Multiple clients attached to same remote target can share info from remote system. Shares data in /temp and updates only if that info is too stale.
- Wyatt has worked on SI2 proposal including src markup. Mostly testing and bug fixes.
- Steve reported on doodle poll for a date for PTP Hackathon at LSU. http://doodle.com/bis9hf2qp7s78g3a#table
- Apr 24-25 is best date so far. (Beth updated info, would have to leave early Friday). 8 participants including Steve. Wyatt can't attend if the SEA conference tutorial happens (likely). But could call in.
- Steve will check with Greg and Jay but tentatively confirms these dates.
- Steve got help with Gerritt problems; Notes that commit amend and reset author fixed his problems. Will update wiki page at https://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/Gerrit
- Carsten is starting to work with Gerrit, commits to ptp70 and master. Who should we put in as reviewer? What are our guidelines? Can we review our own changes? John E volunteers that if change is complete, need another reviewer. Simple change: can review our own.
- Beth has done tutorial proposals, build testing, doc bug review and fix, and ptp-user meeting. Will edit and make ptp-user video available (Dave Wootton gave demo of ptp debugger including MPICH enhancement). See https://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/PTP_User_Meetings#January_29.2C_2014
- Will do XSEDE tutorial proposal soon. Asked for ideas on SC tutorial proposal to enhance acceptance likelihood. Steve asked if remote includes bug were fixed which caused problems. It's https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416658. Steve will bump with comment, need to work on this.
- Wyatt has created a PTP Youtube channel. No videos added yet. Has created a basic PTP video.
