Meeting minutes for November 30, 2009

  1. Sakai/OSP 2.6 Issues and Status (Bug fixes can be verified on the following QA servers Nightly Build (HSQLDB) or Nightly build (Oracle))
    • SAK-12914 Database error when importing osp matrix. Status should be downgraded from critical to major.
    • SAK-16871 osp share sends wrong password, Only affects sites using default Sakai authorization. Should be fixed. We won't track it any more.
    • SAK-17055 Matrix group filtering does not differentiate Sections from Groups. Only affects users in a site that also uses sections. Shouldn't be hard to fix and affects VA Tech, so we will continue to track it.
    • SAK-17247 In IE8, Forms with required select fields (minoccurs=1) do not display the red asterisk
    • SAK-17423 503 for DTD request in templated portfolios that import other templates  There is also a caching issue. We won't track it anymore.

  2. Teaching and Learning
    • Josh Baron and David Goodrum were on the call. Pleased that Jan entered material in spreadsheet. Robin: does everything have to be in there or not? No. We are working in a mode of uncertainty. The spreadsheet is useful and will give something to sink our teeth into for charting a course forward for development. Clay Fenlasson will be on the T&L call this Wed. at 12 noon. We would like to plug into the process that Assignments used to get some design work done. This might be a good opportunity to have Sam Peck look at the OSP requirements and come up with something. Maybe this week would be a good time to stop and look over the functionality listed in the spreadsheet and group things and look for gaps. Noah: what will the output of this process be? On Wednesday this should be discussed. Between now and New Year this should jell into a clearer idea of next steps. There are now 100 items in the spreadsheet.
