Previous sprint

Security of NDX set up

  • Decided not to talk about this in group meeting but rather have a meeting dedicated for it

Closing Old tickets

  • Backlog has been reduced by 300 so far
  • Mention of creating a list of tickets that need 'verifying'- could do this as part of standup

Pycharm Pro

  • Waiting to hear back form Irene regarding getting the whole team set up

Group Mailing Lists

  • There are multiple mailing list for exp controls, we should try and make them more concise
  • Having a sharepoint mailing list might be useful for letting people e.g summer student access sharepoint (CMS)
  • Worth holding a meeting?

Demos

  • Muons still need demoing for (JH + SC)
  • Should we still provide a demo even though the next release is right around the corner?
  • Its important to be interacting with users especially muons (Agile) (KB)
  • Demoing to muons whilst demoing winter release could be risky. Better off apologising to group

Email support rota out of cycle

  • In place (KB)

Work Exp Students

  • Application put in for 2 students.
  • FA concerned about desk space
  • JH asked if it would be possible to have an apprentice?
  • KB was concerned that we might not be eligible for one

Other

  • Make sure to be running latest MySQL and other components to begin 'testing' for a release candidate. (FA)

Current Sprint

Points added to project board (KB)

  • Can now see a tickets points from repos and project board
  • Additional to point labels
  • Points allocated per ticket need to be the same so automation being worked on

Standup/Meeting rotas- put roles in exp controls calendar

  • This would take too much time (KB + LC)

Mad/Glad/Sad
