Largely non-Thalia work, but may work on the backup/restore script and a deploy/cfg mgmt system.

Tweaked Continuum a bit; seems to be doing everything it should, though it's conservative (possibly overconservative) about sending email.

Maybe some performance testing vs. 2.1.

The thalia-test group is most appropriate for testing but is not yet running Alfresco 2.1.

Stellar/Thalia future meeting

Justin

made a thumbnail graphic

Qing

add calls to check permission before getting thumbnail/medium/large
added code to handle alfresco sessions (use session id to reuse alfresco tomcat sesssions instead of opening a session with every alfresco call)
tested the new code on thalia-dev

look at alfresco's source code to understand more how they manage their ticket lifetime and make sure that we are handling the ticket cache accordingly
test to make sure that we are not opening too many alfresco sessions

completed thaliaaddfolder utility

Lots of other work.

In Training (now know what we need for MySQL clustering)

Testing out 2.1.1 with a Thalia Frontend.  Setup 2.1E for install on thalia-test for QA next week.  Both will go into tomorrow.

Time.  Inordinate number of meetings.  Alfresco.

Janet

started reorganizing wiki
asked Michael Dutton to push back useability to mid- to late-January; suggested we recruit testers from our IAP session

tbd - haven't planned the day yet

Justin

Finished all remaining sprint 2 issues

Spending rest of week on Kerberos tasks

Qing

changed the thumbnail/medium/large permission and modified the url for getting thumbnail
medium/large (it goes through IME instead of talking directory to Alfresco). Tested the code
thalia-dev and are happy with the performance
However, if the user doesn't have permission to thumbnail/medium/large and tries to get it,
Alfresco stupidly opens the login screen instead of giving the access denied error. Will have
to add an addiotnal call to alfresco to check permission (will impact the performace)

add calls to check permission before getting thumbnail/medium/large
close ticket when purged from cache

Robin

Communicated with Open Laszlo about the impediment to tagging changes

Upload user confusion bug -- hide the progress bar except for when its uploading, and make it clear that user needs to click the "upload" button when done.

Learned more about the continuum server and did more setup work on it; it should now be doing everything we want except for the deployment to thalia-dev.

Get auto-deployment working and figure out why the mail that should be going out isn't.

The Continuum documentation is somewhere between bad and nonexistent.  (It's very bleeding-edge; this is not unexpected.)

Hunter

Got Alfresco to cluster correctly w/ 2.1.1 and replication and index caching working correctly between al-fresco and al-dente.  The Alf, Inc. suggested method of dropping the new .WAR file in place and restarting fell down and went boom.  Ended up also bringing in a bunch of the new, rewritten, restructured config files to mix with the 'old' ones from 2.1E.  Many things moved from fringe config files to the core ones.  Should have the thaliaAdmin and guestUser accounts with default passwds, if anyone wants to play with them.

Testing al-fresco/al-dente with a Thalia front end.  May not get to set that up until later today, and really working on it until tomorrow night.
Goals: Decide if we want to use 2.1E or 2.1.1 for the release.  Get thalia-test set up on one of them by end of Sprint to begin testing with.  May go w. 2.1E on thalia-test proper and leave 2.1.1 up on al-fresco/al-dente so we can do side-by-side testing, if we want to go that route.

Alfresco.
Time. 
In training class MTuWed.

Janet

In touch w/Leah about site.
Emailed Michael Dutton about rescheduling usability testing.
Talked with Roz about hiring QA intern.
Contacted intern candidate to find out when best to call.

Contacting candidate - our schedules don't overlap well for the next few days.

Justin

1. created scriptable process for creating our UI art from source PSD files (refamiliarized self with Photoshop actions)

1. Deleting images from slideshows

1. Dividing time with Kerberos work

Qing

1. fixed out a bug on tagging code to allow deletion of all tags on an item
2. branched the code and started coding access control changes

continue coding on access control

not sure how caching ticket will work. lots of questions need to be answered, like how to avoid race condition and how to close connection so the alfresco session will not be left open. (the caching code needs to be both fast and robust)

Robin

1. Sent out tagging spec, updated from our meeting discussion, to QA.
2. Put in a fix for the auto-scrolling -- this needs testing though.

1.  Dig into the tagging changes

Have to go get blood drawn at some point, so will be out for an hour and a half or so
