[Users] Meeting Minutes for 2014-12-08

[Roland Haas]

Present: Roland, Frank, Yosef, Matt, Ian, Peter, Josh, Philipp

Josh and Yosef report problems calling the toll free number from a phone.

Tickets:
* remove snprintf implementation in Cactus since Cactus requires (and
tests for) C99 which always provides snprintf
* patch to abort early in CST has become redundant due to Erik's recent
efforts to build ExternalLibraries along with normal thorns
* Jenkins now works again

Ticket system:
* desire to have screening of incoming tickets
* talking points:
** The screening process will assign a priority to the ticket
** Description of priorities
*** blocker - Cactus does no longer build
*** critical - at least one thorn always fails to run
*** major - needs to be fixed before release or documented in release notes
*** minor - may or may not be fixed before release
*** new - the initial priority created by trac to search for
unclassified tickets
** Desire to have ticket status "Looked at"/"Triaged" instead of
"Confirmed" that signifies that screening was done.
** Assign it to a person likely being able to help with it. This should
be based on common sense, and assignation does not imply an obligation
to provide a fix but is kindly requested to look at it.
** milestones to be used only during the release process to mark tickets
we want to push until the release
* Ian tasked with testing these ideas with ~10 existing tickets
* Frank checked automated assignments are reasonable
** Change GetComponents from Eric Seidel
** Remove automated assignment from simfactory
** add "Server infrastructure" component to take over ET trac but
contain all server issues
* custom queries on trac ticket
** new section with most common predefined custom queries
*** changes in the last week
*** pending review
** new section with queries useful to review tickets
** new section with queries useful before the release

Jenkins:
* ask Steve to check on CCT Jenkins slave
* downgrade Caltech Jenkins slave

Yours,
Roland
