Minutes

  2. Change process
    • Bugzilla new structure from SK
      • SK suggested to stay with the ML for discussion to avoid having too many places where the discussion happens.
      • Classification on bugzilla done by LK and LM
      • LK mentioned about new bugzilla instance (available around mid April)
      • There is no process to follow-up consistently on RFE. The change process should remedy to it.
    • What info leve in bugzilla?
    • Where to hold discussions?
  3. pS base: release and what version is used
    • See actions
  4. MDM feedback
    • Lack in tests and in utilisation scenario examples for training
  5. Visualisation tool test
    • Test to verify that the functionalities work, that they work consistently, fill bugzilla bugs and suggest enhancements or suggestions. (in case of minor issues -e.g. types, re-wording-, use a single bug to list them all. The tests needs to be done from the point of view of the users.
    • Potential dedicated session in Zagreb.
    • Testers: AH, Ns, PM, DS
  6. Data consistency
  7. *Thomas worked on event categorisation for Hades. The goal is to eliminate the false alerts. BWCTL is more difficult as it depends on hundreds of things.

  9. Next JRA1 and pS meeting
    • Keep only the WIL status update for the January-June meetings.
    • MM & MY to attend over VC.
    • Present the results on Nagios during the plenary.
