Meeting minutes for March 1, 2010

  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))
    • n/a
  2. Sakai 2.7 Development Status
    • Status update: 2.7 QA Testing (The OSP Test Scripts can be found at OSP Test Scriptsand Scripts for Testing IU Enhancements)
    • SAK-17659 potential NPE's and s resource leaks in OSP found by static code review. There is one fix that Noah needs to make, then he will close it.
    • Known issues remaining for merged SAK-15710 (IU enhancements)
      • SAK-17350 Broken link back to associated assignment when editing a cell. Fixed.
    • SAK-16557 Indexes are missing on OSP tables with Oracle. Move to 2.8? No, Noah will try to get it into this cycle.
    • SAK-17735 Test form zip file fails to import with unexpected MIME type. Chris assigned this to himself. He thought it would be quick and easy to change the table of correspondences, but there was a hitch. In any case, it is fixed.
    • SAK-17736 Lines disappear in the Actions column in the Add Attachment form. Push to 2.8. We will remove the proposed fix version and downgrade it to minor.
    • SAK-17852 !site.template.portfolio lacks roster perms for all roles. If you create a new site on one of the test servers and you try to add a roster, the users won't show up. Noah thinks it's a kernel problem. Someone needs to get the attention of the Kernel group. Fix should just be copy and paste of the perms. Removing all the rules from the portfolio site type should fix the problem
    • SAK-17853 Unsubmitted linked assignments display in matrix if instructor clicks "grade" or "view submissions" link in Assignments. Fixed and merged.
    • SAK-18003 Hibernate Level 2 caching causes desynchronization across servers. Downgraded to minor and moved to 2.8. Fixing it would be a costly endeavor. Has been in the code since forever. Should be re-upgraded to major, but fix version unknown.
    • SAK-17940 Auto-select of Portfolio Forms causing intermittent problems. No one has looked at it.
    • SAK-17953 In OSP Forms, mailto links and links to named anchors deleted on save. Bryan assigned it to himself and put in a fix, but the problem is in the kernel. The kernel team verified the patch, but didn't put it in. Noah let Anthony know that this is important to us. Beth has kernel commit privileges, so she will take a look at it.
  3. Sakai 2.8 Development Status
    • SAK-17351 Duplicating portfolios (merge pending review on osp test server). Beth still working on getting it up on a QA server so people can review it before committing to trunk.
    • SAK-16693 Roster Synchronization (followup on questions/answers since Feb 15 call). Lynn sent a follow up message to the list addressing the questions that arose in the demo. Look at Lynn's comments so we can decide whether or not to move forward with this.
    • SAK-17323 In Portfolios tool, prompt user to give portfolio a name at the time of creation. Fixed, not closed.
    • SAK-15547 Skip First Step of Portfolio Creation (if only one choice presented to user). Needs someone to adopt it.
    • SAK-17653 OSP Column/Row names are not updated at the cell title level. Affects 2.7. Are IU's matrix changes sufficient to solve the problem adequately for the original reporters, VA Tech and Serensoft. We will leave this as an untracked item. Someone can re-raise it if it is important to them.
    • SAK-17579 OSP fails if compiled on Java 1.6
  4. Standing Agenda
    • Sakai 3 Development & Content Authoring
      • https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlfbHxo2qpHEdHRuSnowVGMwWE9HY1MtVjFpY1dtS0E&hl=en
      • Portfolio-related vignettes
      • Sakai 3 ePortfolio 0.3 release of the new kernel is available. And there has been action in the Teaching and Learning community, with OSP well represented. LOI has joined the Sakai Foundation, but not yet clear how and when they will contribute. Montreal is committed to piloting a Sakai 3 implementation in the Fall. The are trying to leverage their Open Syllabus work. Lynn wanted to know whether there are ways for people to collaborate with Michigan brainstorming. Anyone can read it or make comments. Will Michigan circle back and incorporate their work in the T&L work? Yes, but right now they are still thinking.
    • Status updates on OSP Help Updates(October review; November commit). Jan keeps getting pulled into other things, but she will redouble her efforts. Noah completed his task. Reviewers, please review. How will consistency be enforced (e.g., ePortfolio, e-portfolio, etc.) Will the Knowledge Base people handle copy editing? We agreed on Portfolio in place of ePortfolio.
    • Conference: proposals were due yesterday, but deadline seems to have been extended. Site won't accept new proposals, though. Three Canoes can use people to volunteer to help with the technical presentation in the afternoon.
