Laney McGlohon (Unlicensed)

Laney sent out an email this morning to the initial group: Dave Mayo (Unlicensed), Steve Majewski (Unlicensed), Mark Cooper (Unlicensed), Lora Davis from JHU and Esha Datta from NYU and Laney McGlohon (Unlicensed).

Laney notes that Github was reorganized, but she would like to add in some instructions for how to move the plugins over. Committers will move over the plug ins to help them get familiar with new organization and to give them an opportunity to provide feedback to Laney.

Technical documentation sub-team update

Scott Hanrath (Unlicensed) 

No update since last meeting, same priorities in place (how to contribute to existing documentation).

Dev Prioritization sub-team update

Jason Loeffler (Unlicensed) or another member of the team

Laney McGlohon (Unlicensed) reports that we are looking at a new JIRA workflow process. Prioritization was put on hold until we know the process works; goal is to make it easier for people to track progress of tickets. Laney created a 'waiting prioritization' status so people know exactly what should be prioritized at each meeting.

Miloche Kottman has been sitting in bi-weekly conference calls with the Public Interface testers group.  For the June release, we’ll be testing not only the client but the PUI as well. June release testing dates have not been set.
