He has also resumed the work on surveys form data recording, but has not proceeded much because of the travelling. He has informed others that he has only limited time during the week during All-hands. 
  * Leo had a meeting with Praveen today. Praveen has made some progress, done some useful research on online/web-based test runners but hasn't finished all planned work due to family matters. Because of the time restriction of GSoC, Leo suggested him to either focus on and complete the test runner within this week or move on to testing and treat the test runner task as a side project. As we have seen, Praveen chose the former :-). 
  * Progress of GSoC projects: 
    * Praveen did some research on web-test runners. He studied the code of gaeunit and figured out the magic of how they actually do it. He will spend this week on implementing our own online test runner and after that start adding the unit tests. There are some issues in implementing it because of the restrictions imposed by GAE. 
    * Orcun is working for exams. He will be working on his project between 3-6 June and then study for exams again till June 10. He is aware that he needs to write a blog post.

  * Progress of GSoC projects:
    * Akeda is working on redesigning dashboard. Lennie reminded him that there are two dashboards that Carol is faced with. One allows administrative functionality like sending out reminder emails while the other represents not only Carol's role as a Organization Admin for GOSPO but also gives more information than the regular dashboards for other users.The focus should be on improving the usability and functionalities that are exposed to Carol in her daily job as Program Administrator. After the meeting, he emailed Carol to discuss the design of Carol's dashboards.
    * Praveen is about one week behind his schedule due to his exams etc. He had a meeting with Leo this Wednesday. He will work on an online test runner suggested by Leo for his view task and will also work on testing one logic module, soc.logic.allocations this week. Lennie noted that the logic.models modules will be removed so no need to test them. Focus should be on the newly written code. 
    * Orcun could not attend the meeting because he got confused with the meeting time and assumed 19.30 CEST to be 19.30 UTC. He has added required libraries for GData APIs to Melange and fields for storing OAuth related fields. His project has not progressed as he had planned, so he will modify his schedule on his project wiki page accordingly. Furthermore, he will not be able to work much because he have exams before 10 June.
    * Selwyn has written GCIProfile and GCIStudentInfo models and the role conversion script which also updates references in the specified models.

  # Post GSoC: Any progress from GSoC students about their projects last week? What do GSoC students want to work on? Do they want to continue working on their projects or pick something else that interests them? What's the plan for this week? 
  # GHOP Plan: features from Madhu; work with Mario; work with Daniel 

=== Meeting notes 23 Aug 2010 ===
  * Attendance:
    * Madhu, Mario, Daniel and Leo
  * Update from Daniel:
    * Daniel will work on statistics module for GHOP and aim to complete it by Aug 31st.
  * Update from Leo:
    * Leo organized all meeting notes of last three weeks and then put them to the wiki meeting notes page.
    * He added more contents to the GettingStartedOnTesting wiki page, including information about Task queue service and gaetestbed MailTestCase and TaskQueueTestCase as well as more detailed guidelines on how to write tests for Melange and usage of each testing framework for logic, views, mails and task queues tests.
    * He created a patch for removing cron/job related modules from Melange and then sent it to the list for review.
    * He continued to work on testing soc.logic.cleaning and will finish it within this week.
    * He has also discussed with the author of gaetestbed about possible improvement of gaetestbed and will add his suggestions to the issues list of gaetestbed on github. 
    * He has also discussed with Felix about integration of data seeder and testing and is waiting for Felix' reply to Leo's proposal. 
  * Update from Madhu:
    * Madhu fixed several issues in GHOP module last week.
    * He introduced some features like "List My Tasks" for mentors and others.
    * Most of the fixes and features have already been pushed. More will come in this week since they need some clean up.
    * He proposed a new design for using "history" property in GHOP Tasks, has discussed with Lennard about it, and has sent a mail to Sverre and is waiting for it.
    * He works very hard to make Melange GHOP-feature complete by August 31st.
    * He will start working on the User Manual from this weekend since his part of GHOP is almost complete.
    * He is working with Mario for inline list-editing.
    * He will help Daniel if necessary for statistics module.
  * Update from Mario:
    * The clone for list editing is now in place.
    * Mario had some issues on getting buildout working. Sverre helped on finding the issue which was an incompatibility between buildout and folders whose names contain spaces. Another issue is lack of builtin Python 2.5 support in Lucid.
    * Today he committed some basic support for inline editing in the grid (just textboxes).
    * He will work on sending data back to server (all data or just dirty fields? Need to be decided) and including plugins (such as slider and datepicker) during the week. 

  * *Important announcement:*
    * The name of GHOP has been changed to Google Code In. 

  * *Action items:*
    * All the models and strings in the GHOP module must be renamed because of the change of GHOP name.
    * Daniel will meet Sverre and Carol tomorrow to discuss about triaging the renaming issues in the issue tracker and then re-prioritizing them.
    * Madhu would prefer to have a GHOP test week scheduled early in September since he was supposed to give an exam on October 3rd which has been rescheduled to October 13th because of his Melange commitments so availability during last weeks of September upto Mentor summit will be very poor. He asks Daniel to bring this issue of scheduling the GHOP test week when he meets Sverre and Carol tomorrow.
    * A project owner (Lennie or Sverre) needs to setup a project's clone instead of a user's clone for Madhusudan to commit list editing to the clone.

  * *Important notes:*
    * Madhusudan and Mario proposed that we should start conference call on time whatever the situation is (unless it's known that someone is coming in a few minutes) to avoid today's situation (the meeting ran late) happening again.
    * Next week's meeting will start at 17:30 UTC.
    * Leo won't be able to attend next week's meeting because next Monday is a British bank holiday. But he will put his update to the wave for next week's meeting notes which he will created in advance as well as organize all meeting notes and then put them to our wiki meeting notes page after the meeting.

* Chaired by:* Daniel Hans<br/>
* Notes taken by:* Leo (Chong Liu)<br/>

=== Meeting notes 16 Aug 2010 ===
  * Attendance:
    * All present.
  * Update on GSoC projects:
    * Data Seeder: 
      * Latest version is up on http://sttwister-melange.appspot.com/seeder/home
      * He has configured a configuration sheet that does some seeding of more data, as an example it seeds sponsors, programs, organizations, mentors, students and student proposals.
      * While the data seeder works pretty well in the current form, there are still some unpolished areas like error reporting and handling, navigation and usability on the web interface, etc.
      * The web interface might be a bit cryptic and hard to use at this point. It's not obvious at all how to set up references and how to configure them. This part should definitely be properly documented and also some step-by-step guidelines in the web interface itself can't hurt, if not too space-consuming.
      * He is thinking a good way to learn to use it would be a screencast, but that would best wait until everything is polished enough.
      * He will also make it easy for tests to make use of the data seeder. He is currently discussing this with Leo so they can decide on the best approach. 
    * Document Editor:
    * Social Features:
    * Testing:
      * Leo has cleaned up, committed and pushed all the tasks testing code to his online clone.
      * After overcoming many difficulties, he managed to move the the gaetestbed and pymox modules to buildout dependencies and made his testing code ready to merge to the trunk.  
      * He also worked on adding test cases for soc.logic.cleaning with suggestion of Sverre. 
      * He has also uncovered a couple of bugs in the soc.modules.ghop.tasks.task_update module and sent a patch to the mailing list. Lennard was very kind to help him merge the patch. 
      * He has also uncovered one issue with his test code for soc.modules.gsoc.tasks.accept_proposals (set the timelimit parameter too small) and then corrected it. 
      * He has also investigated the difference between the console and html coverage report. It seems that the console one counts statements while the html one counts lines.
      * In the next week, he will add the experience of how to do mail and taskqueue related tests with gaetestbed to the testing wiki page.
      * He will also make a patch for removing the cron/job related modules and then send it to the list.
      * He will also continue to work on the testing project after GSoC, i.e. add more test cases for more modules, improve the testing design and code, integrate Felix' data seeder, and so on.  
  * *Action items:*
    * Students should write on their project wiki pages about what they have done, what they have not done and their plan to bridge the gap after GSoC compared with their original plans. 
  * *Important notes:*
    * Sverre won't be able to attend next week's meeting.
    * Daniel will host next week's meeting.
    * All students are welcome to attend it.

      * He also resolved the error "raise self.__TranslateError(e.application_error, e.error_detail) UnknownQueueError" by adding the path of taskqueue yaml setting file to the instantiation arguments list (root_path) of taskqueue_stub.TaskQueueServiceStub.
      * He added gaetestbed modules to tests and then extended its MailTestCase and TaskQueueTestCase and further put them into tests.util module for testing the mailing and taskqueueing functions.
      * He has also done some new tests and managed to increase the testing coverage of Melange to 59%.
      * He found that the coverage report of the html version is different from the console one. He will investigate the difference with suggestion of Sverre.
      * Next week, he will clean up code and commit and push all uncommited testing code, increase the overall coverage printed in console to over 60%, and make the coverage of most modules over 50%. 
      * He will also move the the gaetestbed and pymox modules to buildout dependency and add the experience of how to do mail and taskqueue related tests with gaetestbed to the testing wiki page.

  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table

=== Meeting notes 26 Jul 2010 ===
  * Attendance:
    * Savitha couldn't participate.
  * Update on GSoC projects:
    * Data Seeder:
      * Seeding process is fully functional using a simple view.
      * Felix is currently attempting to integrate an AppEngine MapReduce framework.
      * He will mail the dev list and CC durin42@gmail.com about where to place thirdparty libraries (currently in app/). 
    * Document Editor:
      * Pavel Last week fixed issues in the logic code pointed out by Daniel
      * He reimplemented "show diff" button using Mario's patch to the lists framework.
      * He started working on revisions for StudentProposal, but came across the problem
        * StudentProposal has two fields: "content" and "abstract", which must be versioned.
        * Current implementation of RevisionContent model allows to store only one field.
        * Daniel proposed to store multiple fields as a JSON document. This approach is easy to use and scalable.
      * He will reimplement revisions using JSON and implement revisions for StudentProposals this week.
      * Sverre is worried about tests for his code. He will add tests this week.
    * Social Features:
      * Savitha wound up calendars features mostly. She used the javascript maps package to let users specify exact location of event so it can be used along with CalVis maps features.
      * She also worked on CSS designs for CalVis Calendars.
      * She will start to work on Maps feature/view for all users and events this week. 
    * Testing:
      * Leo mainly worked on low coverage modules, e.g. soc.tasks.surveys, soc.tasks.grading_survey_group and etc this week.
      * He has managed to increase the testing coverage of Melange to over 55%.
      * He will clean up the code and will commit and push them.
      * One problem he met is that there is no api proxy stub available for service "taskqueue" yet, so it raises an error "ERROR:root:No api proxy found for service "taskqueue". He is also working on it.
     * In the next two weeks, He aims to increase the testing coverage of Melange to over 60% and increase the testing coverage of those modules below 50% (40% at least) to over 50%. 
  * *Action items:*
    * Students should continue/start to add tests to their code. 
    * Mario will try JS-Test-Driver along with YUI Test 3 and see if it works :) 
    * Mario has done some inspecting about JSTestDriver and YUITest. YUITest seems still active (version 3 now), and he prefers this testing framework as it's the one that suits better our needs, especially about testing asynchronous code. He's not sure about the correct integration between JSTestDriver and YUITest, as one post on JTD mailing list says it's not working, but the wiki seems to say the opposite. So he needs to try it out and see if everything works.

  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table

=== Meeting notes 19 Jul 2010 ===
  * Attendance:
    * Pavel couldn't participate due to unknown reason.
  * Update on GSoC projects:
    * Data Seeder:
      * Felix had some problems with client-side JavaScript templating engines, switched a few, found some bugs and finally went with [http://beebole.com/pure/ pure].
      * He is now working on enhancing the web interface to support references.
    * Document Editor:
    * Social Features:
      * Savitha worked on user authorization for data apis for org_admin and prog_admin roles.
      * She had to make changes to the event logic file to handle different authorizations and storing the token etc.
      * She has encountered two weird errors from appengine, which is caused by a timeout, will mail dev list detailed traceback.
      * Calendars UI has been tentatively fixed on CalVis, and she needs to change the design so it looks more slanted towards google's design.
      * She was supposed to have started on Maps feature this week, but still winding up the Calendars.
    * Testing:
      * Leo met one problem that nose tests could not run the GSoC View tests he added. He then solved the problem by adding __init__.py to the GSoC test packages.
      * Leo has only managed to add 1% more coverage last week which is far less than the original target 10%.
      * Sverre thought the original plan was not realistic. Leo agreed and adjusted this week's target to 5% more including last week's 1% more.

  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table


=== Meeting notes 12 Jul 2010 ===
  * Felix couldn't participate due to issues with his internet connection.
  * Update on testing project:
    * Leo solved the problem that coverage does not track the properties definition of Melange models by  using pymox stubout to stub out nose.plugins.cover.Coverage.begin so that it loads Melange before the testing coverage starts.
    * The test coverage of Melange is now over 50%.
    * He further worked on various views, e.g. sponsor, program, student, organization, etc.
    * He will do more view and logic tests and aim to increase the overall code coverage to over 60%.
  * Update on document editor project:
    *  Pavel has implemented all functions of revisions, e.g.  "Revert to revision", and uploaded them to his appspot instance.
    * He managed to make button work with the help of Mario.
    * He plans to deploy python html diff engine, create view that show diffs for revisions and make code clean-up this week.
    *  Daniel will send Pavel some feedback later.
  * Update on social features:
    * Savitha worked on getting the workflow for the Calendars features and uploaded the latest to my appspot, e.g. Progadmin activates Calendars, Orgadmins get notifications, Orgadmins accept, all users can now view all calendars and events, users can add events by selecting which Calendar they want add to (non-owners such as students and mentors will have to wait for approval).
    * She will work on user authentication (plain text password and user name are currently used) and the synchronizing of calendar events between Melange and Google Calendar.
    * She considers GData APIs but needs to figure out a way to get Auth token from the user API with Madhu.
    * She and Madhu are going to go through the workflow, code and integration.
  * *Important notes:*
    * Daniel suggested to take meeting notes on Google Wave and Sverre suggested to still put one copy on the wiki. Leo will have a try.
    * Felix needs to complete a blog post.

  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table

=== Meeting notes 5 Jul 2010 ===
  * Blog posts: All students have posted their blogs in this week.
  * Update on data seeder:
    * The seeder is able to seed models without any references and the data providers work correctly.
    * Error/progress reporting has been implemented on the backend but not on the web interface frontend.
    * Mario and Felix think about integrating a client-side HTML templating engine in JavaScript to Melange in order to build HTML on the fly on the client side.
    * Three options are being considered, i.e. pure, jQuery tempest plugin and DOJO DTL. Mario feels that the third option may be too much messing on the current architecture.
    * Mario and Felix will further talk about the three options after the meeting, possibly on the list.
  * Update on testing project:
    * Leo found that Python coverage does not track the properties definition of models. So, doing model tests adds little testing coverage.
    * He also found there are not a lot to do logic tests because most methods of other logical are inherited from base logic.
    * He will focus on doing view tests now, especially on those with low coverage.
    * He has not done a lot last week due to breakdown of his hard drive and he'll try to do more this week.
  * Update on document editor project:
    *  Pavel implemented views that show revision with given revision number and lists all the revisions for the given entity and uploaded them to his GAE instance, which looks good.
    * He met two problems. The first one is to track different key/value pairs for the params dict. He solved it by using a debugger. The second one is to create configuration JSON for buttons and actions with  list framework. With the help of Daniel, Sverre and Mario and reading the JQGrid documentation, he has started to understand the lists and could even create some buttons and associate behaviour.
    *  He will do his best to finish views in a couple of days to start implementing diffs before the midterm evaluation.
  * Update on social features:
    * Savitha started working on the Calendars/Events feature: she has created the event data model/logic/views (e.g. list events), and uploaded to her GAE instance http://melange-social.appspot.com/site/show/site.
    * Two types of events are created, one is the local event_entity stored in Melange and the other is the one sent to Google Calendar. They are not synchronized until now and Savitha is working on it.
    * The UI of the calendars is being discussed on the mailing list and not decided yet. Google Calendar UI is currently used.
    * User Page has been mostly done. The new CSS designs will be uploaded by this wednesday.
    * There are no restrictions for different user roles at present, e.g. everyone could create their User Pages and the go on to add events to the Calendar. Savitha is working on it and will get it done hopefully by this weekend.
    * Savitha decided to get the Key for the JS API maps following Mario's advice.
  * *Important notes:*
    * Pavel and Felix found the params mechanism a bit hard to understand, especially combined with other things such as patterns and checking access etc. Felix thinks more documentation is needed. Sverre encourages students to add their findings to the params wiki page http://code.google.com/p/soc/wiki/SocParams .
    * Sverre suggests Pavel and Mario together with him to create a wiki page for the list framework.
    * Mario suggests Pavel to add link of JQGrid documentation that it's not yet linked, if any, inside the text of the ListsProtocol wiki page.

  # Blog posts (where are they?)
  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table

=== Meeting notes 28 Jun 2010 ===
  * Felix couldn't participate because he was taking an interview.
  * Blog posts: Savitha and Leo will make a post later today.
  * Update on testing project:
    * Leo has added content to the wiki page GettingStartedOnTesting and asked for feedbacks. Sverre has had a look at it and thinks that it should be extended, though it looks good. Sverre will help Leo extend it if time allows.
    * The coverage of the test is still low. Sverre suggests Leo to focus the modules with low coverage next week, e.g. do some tests on the models.
  * Update on document editor project:
    *  Pavel made some changes on the revision models, implemented a few revisions for documents and will push his code later.
    *  The revision control currently only works on backend not on front side.
    *  Pavel will add others as a developer on his Appspot instance
    *  He is implementing the view which helps to work with revisions. He find some cool features of Melange, e.g. Button, checkbox etc. which can be used in his work.
    *  Pavel and Danial will interact and discuss more about the project.
  * Update on social features:
    * Savitha made changes to user pages, e.g. add new jobs and educations but could not deploy it to her Appspot instance because she could not access app engine on weekend, which is quite normal in India according to Madhusudan.
    * She is able to have access to it today and will deploy later.
    * She will work on Calenda later.
    * She is behind the schedule but believes she can catch it up because she has become familiar with the codebase.
    * She met problems when using blob properties for images and will email the detail of the problem to the Melange list later.
  * *Important notes:*
    * Sverre will go to America the day after tomorrow and will spend some quality time with his girlfriend.
    * Lennard will start his internship in Australia next week.
    * Students should make their blog posts before the weekly meeting.
    * All students should add everybody as a developer on their Appspot instance
    * Students should ask on Melange list as well as their mentors when they meet problems

  # Update on GSoC Projects
  # Round the table

=== Meeting notes 21 Jun 2010 ===
 * Daniel couldn't participate, cause he is in the US now.
 * Update on document editor project:
  * Back-end for revisions is working now. It is deployed at http://melange-editor.appspot.com
  * View that helps to work with the revisions (show revision, show diff and revert) is going to be implemented on Wednesday.
  * Need to write script that converts existing entities into the new ones.
  * It is a good decision to implement property methods in the models, cause it makes rendering templates easier.
 * Update on testing project:
  * Last week Leo made Django test client to work with Melange.
  * This week he plans to write more tests on logic.
  * Leo also wants to create Wiki page that describes current testing environment.
  * Lennard wants more tests :)
 * Update on social features:
  * Savitha has almost finished user pages. Updated instance is deployed at http://melange-social.appspot.com
  * Searching users based on tags is to be done.
  * Savitha starts working on calendars this week.
  * Savitha needs to add tooltips for new fields.
  * Lennard notices that "Preferred name" is the same as "Public name" from User model.
  * Visibility is for entire page now, but it should me made more granular.
 * Update on data seeder:
  * Felix is setting views for his module. Melange lacks support for views that are not connected to some model or logic.
  * Felix thinks that his current solution looks like a hack, but plans to refactor it in the future.
  * Every model includes all the fields from base models. That's why it is so much JSON right now. Felix needs to take care of it.
 * *Important notes:*
  * Lennard leaves and can't be project leader for a while. He will not be able to participate in conference calls. Sverre is our new leader. He is responsible for everything! :)
  * All students should continue sending updates on mailing list, posting blog updates, contributing code, writing tests and working hard!

 * Madhusudan has fixed Issue 693 and committed
 * Sent bulk approval patch for review
 * Mario is working on Issue 201, no preview this way sadly
 * We need to have sorting and searching client side; sorting works client side, but we lose paging
 * It looks like JQGrid is based on a client-server grid more so than doing things server side
 * Note: main concern is to be able to search, not edit
 * As such this week it is now time to test the steps
 * Demo will be ready by next week
 * If tests are successfull we can start moving the entities
 * After this is done we'll be a lot closer to running GSoC and GHOP on the same instance
 * Model conversion is mostly done due to hard work by Lennard
 * We will add new Middleware to ensure that all POST requests have
 * Sverre will take a look at adding Token to DynaForm (this week, will report findings to Dan)

=== Meeting notes 21 Sept 2009 ===

 * Mario was busy with his examns and got ill during the weekend (and couldn't attend his examn today)
 * He did put forth some effort towards issue 201
 * Tried to make a page because there's no way to create a page without a logic or model connected to it
 * The JQGrid example needs to talk to multiple models
 * The reason our views are tied to the models are because we never needed a soc.views.base untill now
 * For now put the demo in the user view, and then we will figure out where to put it
 * Skype is a pain as usual
 * Leslie joins the call

Survey TODO list:
  * Clean up Survey view main module (Ajaksu, 24h)
  * Make sure creation for Grading and ProjectSurvey work (Lennard, 48h)
  * Show view should only show the survey, take view needs to be added to take a survey. (James, reviewed by Sverre, 24h)
  * Project and Grading surveys need to be administered through the new take view (Lennard)
  * Results view needs to be introduced to list all results for one survey. URL pattern including %(key_fields) should do the trick. Read-access only? (None)
  * Fixing layout(CSS) and JS issues (Mario)
  * Create access check for taking a survey similair to Documents (James and Sverre, 48h)
  * Code Reviews (Pawel, throughout the week)
  * Code Testing + reporting failing/missing functionality (Pawel, throughout the Week)

Pawel will be given a more specific task within a few days when the code has cleared up.

Availability upcoming week: <br/>
  * Sverre 2h/day
  * Pawel 4h/day till Friday
  * Lennard 8h/day from Thursday, sporadic untill Wednesday
  * James ?
  * Ajaksu ?

Next release will be cut by Sverre Rabbelier during the Weekend if he deems a revision fit enough for it. Will update the list with his decision.

== 22 Jun 2009 Team Conference Call Notes == 

* Chaired by:* Lennard de Rijk<br/>
* Notes taken by:* Leslie Hawthorn<br/>
* Attendees:* Daniel Diniz, Daniel Hans, James Levy, Lennard de Rijk, Leslie Hawthorn, Madhusudan C.S., Mario Ferraro , Pawel Solyga

Round the Room (updates from the last week):
  * Pawel: updating to Django 1.0, will cut a new release on Friday
  * Lennard: cut new release this week, fixed issues
  * James Levy: been working on surveys with Daniel Diniz, see mailing list discussion with James Crook et. al on models
    * most features needed for midterm surveys complete, update required to make pass/fail question activate automatically vs. admin intervention
    * more testing needed
    * working on nag notification emails as described in [http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=639 Issue 639]
  * James also some issues/work for review on newsfeeds but surveys taking priority
  * Merio: having meetings and posting notes to the dev list, keeping notes on to do's in the issue tracker, working on integrated test suite and adding exclusion example
  * Daniel: working on backend of statistics module and working on more sophisticated stats where we do not have pre-determined outcomes (e.g. % of students seeking a PhD degree vs. % of students who are attending the University of Delft), also add in functionality for create/delete/list
  * Madhu has made it possible to create a GHOP program, all features as described on the wiki page are now implementable but in progress, we have a task quota per org, can create tasks, views of assigned slots but is not using tasks API
  * Open question: do we need another student model for GHOP?
  * LH to look for "trusted testers" of midterm survey functionality
 
General Point about Surveys: 

In an ideal world:
  * there is a checkbox so that students can share their surveys with the mentors
  * mentors can share their surveys with their students
In the real world:
  * Org admins should have access to all surveys for their org. 
  * Program admins should have access to all surveys for a given program.

 # James is also working on surveys a lot because they need to be done soon
 # PubSub would be interesting but low priority (post mid-term)
 # Surveys is well on it's way to being done (since James is taking on multiple students per mentor part)
 # Ajaksu is fixing small bugs and layout related things
 # Leslie will give some feedback on the surveys
 # Before the weekend the surveys should be feature complete

=== Call Notes ===

*Summary*
  # Unique user ID's will be fixed this week by Pawel
  # All GSoC students will be given Project Membership Access. Their patches will still need approval before they may be pushed. The main reason for giving access is that issues can be assigned to them.
  # GSoC Students will need to get their own AppEngine instance so that they can push their own code. The students will be given developer access on melange-dev aswell so they can experience what's going on. 
  # Lennard unfortuneatly will not complete the assigned test due to other project and university obligations, Sverre is helping out the students with writing test as expected and also working on refactoring Melange. James is working on surveys, Merio is working on seed_db and Madhu has just submitted a patch for adding Organization logic tests.
  # Survey patch will be rebased shortly after the meeting and will then be reviewed by Sverre. According to James the surveys are on track for a solid test run at the end of the week (24th of May).
  # The all-hands meeting agenda will be posted on the discussion group by Pawel. It will contain references to all the issues in the tracker that need to be discussed. Other items can be suggested/added as well.
  # The new release/development progress was in need of discussion thanks to the move to HG. Making multiple heads seemed to be favored above branching. Augie will be mailed by Sverre for information.
  # Dan's patch is not complete yet, however it will not be worked on before the all-hands May meeting so that we might discuss any other viable solutions
  # The ajaxy list view will be discussed during the all-hand May meeting. James and Merio have expressed interest in it's design they will be added to the meeting when/if that's possible.
  # Taggable seems a favorite, Lennard still needs to take a good look at the systems. This will be discussed further during the all-hands May meeting.
  # James is working on surveys expected to have something well-testable by the end of the week. Merio is working with Pawel on seed_db something should be up and running by the end of the week. Madhusudan has just submitted a patch including tests also he's fleshing out the wiki pages regarding GHOP. Our students seem to be happy but they were quiet in Skype :D.

== 28 April 2009 Google Summer of Coder Intro Meeting Agenda ==

18:00 UTC in #melange on Freenode

  * Students will be asked to introduce themselves to the community and provide a brief overview of their projects.
  * Mentors will briefly introduce themselves too and we will also let students know who is co-mentoring each project
  * We will discuss expectations for community bonding period, coding period, etc.; things like status reports, help with testing, etc.
  * We will discuss GSoC students participation in Melange Weekly Monday Conference calls
  * We will ask GSoC students whether they can participate in Wednesday Testing Meeting on #melange
  * Following this meeting, mentors should reach out to their student via the dev list to schedule a more in-depth first meeting. If anyone wants to drop to watch the IRC meeting, they are welcome to do so, hence scheduling on the dev list.


== 27 April 2009 Team Meeting ==

=== Call Notes ===

  * Tabled for next meeting:
    * 1000 entities fix (need Dan Bentley for this conversation)
    * Where to get help on thinking about security

Action Item: LH to get Dan's Skype ID to Pawel before next meeting.

  * We will be tagging issues with DueBy-MONTH-DAY-YEAR and we will never discuss this topic again since everyone is tired of it by now. Fortunately, we've now got it right.

  * We will use a tag with format ReviewBy-MONTH-DAY-YEAR to tag issues in the tracker that have patches attached so casual contributors know when they can expect their patches to be reviewed.

  * Discussion of more granular owners/leads for the tasks listed on the current roadmap will happen on the [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev developers list]. Assigning owners and getting these areas fleshed out needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Action Item: LH will start this thread.

  * We will be spending the next month focusing on testing. An announcement will be sent to the dev list so any users/casual contributors know what our priorities are for the next month.

Action Item: Pawel will send announcement to the list. (done)

  * We want community help with testing! Specifically we need:
    * People to help write tests. (Our Summer of Code students will be working on this as part of their onboarding/community bonding.)
    * We would like someone who knows Python to add the Python coverage module to Melange. We will bribe with t-shirts or chocolates or a fine glass of iced tea.
    * Community members who would like to help with writing tests should talk to one of the developers on #melange to discuss ideas or send email to the [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev dev list].
  * We currently have 40 tests ready, but no other test coverage. We need to give people a pointer to these tests. 
  * We will track tests in progress in the issue tracker. Issues for tests should be labeled as "Tests" for ease of tracking.
  * We will have a kick off meeting for the month of Melange testing on Wednesday, 29 April 2009 at 18:00 UTC in #melange.

Action Item: Pawel will schedule testing meeting. (done - [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev/browse_thread/thread/ca435880649b7c0 announced on dev list])

  * Summer of Coder meeting tomorrow in #melange at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2009&month=4&day=28&hour=18&min=0&sec=0&p1=215&p2=16&p3=224 18:00 UTC].
    * Students will be asked to introduce themselves to the community and provide a brief overview of their projects.
    * We will discuss expectations for community bonding period, coding period, etc.; things like status reports, help with testing, etc.
    * Following this meeting, mentors should reach out to their student via the [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev dev list] to schedule a more in-depth first meeting. If anyone wants to drop to watch the IRC meeting, they are welcome to do so, hence scheduling on the dev list.

Action Item: Pawel will create agenda for tomorrow's first student meeting. (LH humbly suggests it live on the wiki.) Pawel will also send a welcome email to all students with some "news you can use" following tomorrow's meeting.

Action Item: LH will call James Levy to make sure he knows he was accepted. (done - hi James!)

  * We want to get *a lot* better about reviewing and committing patches. Right now we are not doing this well enough. New strategy:
    # We quickly sync within 24 hours about who is going to review a patch.
    # All patches will be ack'ed within 48 hours, which means that we say at least "hey thanks we got your patch." Person ack'ing the patch is the person who will review it.
    # Patch will be reviewed *and* feedback sent to submitter *and* relevant issue in the tracker updated within 5 days (read: 120 hours).
    # If a patch does not meet our style guidelines, it will be returned to the contributor with a request to fix the style issues.
    # If patch passes review, it will be committed. If something breaks, the person committing the patch is taking responsibility to babysit the build.
    # If you take on reviewing a patch and you cannot get to reviewing it within 5 days of ack, it is your responsibility to let the contributor know about the delay *and* update the relevant issue in the tracker.
    # If you take on responsibility for reviewing a patch and cannot get to it within 5 days of ack, it is your responsibility to ask for help in getting it reviewed. It is entirely plausible no one is going to have time to help, but you should certainly ask for it.
    # Each mentor is responsible for reviewing his student's patches, following same process as above.

Action Item: All committers will follow process as detailed above.

Action Item: Pawel will review alll outstanding issues noted in the agenda, below,  by end of day Friday, 1 May. 

Action Item: LH will go through the issue tracker to make sure that no other outstanding patches are hiding in plain sight. Any outstanding reviews will be assigned to Pawel for action by Friday.

   * The [http://code.google.com/p/soc/wiki/GHOP GHOP specs] wiki page needs to be reviewed. We all do not want to have yet another meeting to discuss it unless we really need to have yet another meeting.

Action Item: LH will review the document after posting notes from today's conference call and provide any needed comments/edits, followed by a ping to the [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev dev list] that this review has been done.

Action Item: All interested folks can take a look at the page and discuss further on the [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev dev list]. If we need to schedule yet another meeting, LH will schedule it.

== 20 April 2009 Team Meeting ==

=== Call Notes ===
  * Everyone agreed that the current roadmap document (currently only available privately) is what we should be working from to flesh out activities for the next 9 months. Interested parties who are not project owners/members are welcome and encouraged to add their thoughts as comments to the roadmap.

Action Items:
 
Pawel will flesh out roadmap somewhat and publish on Melange project wiki. 

All should review roadmap when published in preparation for 27 April team conference call.

LH will add roadmap review to 27 April team call agenda.

  * We will add a due date for issues to each issue in the issue tracker and we can discuss issues in more detail on the wiki. James Crook is a good resource for talking to folks about effectively fleshing out design from various user issues.

Action Items:

LH will begin assigning due dates, which are of course negotiable, during weekly bug triage. [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev/browse_thread/thread/22b6028b45cba979# Related mailing list thread].

  * We have on security issue that has been on file for a month. While users can do no harm even if they exploit the vulnerability, we agreed that we need to be more on top of security issues. Resolve within 2 days, even if that resolution is adding a note along hte lines of "We will fix this but cannot get to it right now. Delay ok'ed because users can do no harm" to the relevant security issue in the tracker.

Action Items:

The Melange team could use some help with security issues. LH will see if it is possible to get help from the security team at Google. (Unlikely, but I will ask.)

  * Caching stuff is a known issue. We need to update the documentation to reflect that users can expect behavior such as is detaied in [http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=473 Issue 473]

Action Items:

LH will update the documentation with this information and solicit technical review of the explanation, update relevant issues with pointer to the documentation.

(Note: If anyone would like to volunteer to take this action item, please do.)

  * Community bonding period (e.g. until 23 May) will be focused on onboarding Melange's Summer of Code students and creating tests for Melange. Patches will be reviewed, but no work on other features should be expected by the community during this time. Melange Summer of Code students will be asked to help with writing of these tests as part of the onboarding process.

  * Rather than updating documentation on error messages, we agree that error messages should simply be more useful. This topic tabled until our all hands meeting in May.
