Re: [Release-team] Adding columns to services spreadsheet

I'm in favor of a master tab. It would be very useful when I need to look up something that was somewhere in an earlier build. I also don't have a problem deleting the tabs that came before Nov Build, as long as we capture information on old modules that may come up again. I think the git repo is a great place to start parsing out the descriptions. Until the redeploy happens this morning, I have time to get this started.

Tech doc testing--need to send out failure notices?
by Nomi Harris 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

I checked the API docs. 8 of the 11 modules failed, but I notice that most of these failed to pass initial deploy, so I guess they never got to the "make deploy-docs" part of the build process. I don't need to notify the authors of those modules about their tech doc failure when they failed deploy, do I? The only module that passed deploy and testing that failed doc was sim_service, which still doesn't have a deploy-docs target. I think its author has been busy with other stuff. :-) KBaseFBAModeling passed tech doc but failed initial testing. protein_info_service passed tech doc but failed initial deploy. Only ONE module passed everything so far: translation. Nomi

Getting code into the "full release"--what's the deadline?
by Nomi Harris 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi Tom, I would like a clearer definition of how/when we are going to roll out the "full release" after next week's full build. In an ideal world, everything that we wanted to show in our Feb 25th demos would be checked into git by this Friday, tested next week during the Build, and then released in one big beautiful release the following week, after which we'd only re-release modules that had catastrophic bugs found and fixed, until some time in March when we'd do another minor build/release. However, I know that some (all?) of the domains are planning to finish writing code for the demos right up till the bitter end, which leaves us in an awkward position, because we can't have people checking in code on midnight on Sunday the 24th of Feb and expecting their code to make it into "the" release--we'd have no time to test and release it. So clearly we need to establish a deadline for getting stuff into the big Feb release--and I don't think telling people that tomorrow is the deadline would go over too well. What were you envisioning? Nomi

Build week team assignments
by Nomi Harris 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Tom and I made some semi-arbitrary new assignments to teams (which included making up some new teams, such as GUI testing). Please look at https://docs.google.com/a/lbl.gov/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ana5oznWypH2dHF4Nlho… when you get a chance and comment on (or just change) any assignments you don't like. I guess we should find someone to lead the GUI testing team. (The other new teams are small enough that I'm not sure we need to bother designating a lead, though maybe it would be a good idea anyway.) Nomi Harris Project Manager, KBase

I started a campaign yesterday on the repos. An email went out to each repo owner requesting among other things a one sentence description of the repo name. Got feedback on about 40% of the repos. I can send these emails to someone if they want to parse them.

I'm all for adding a "master" tab to the services spreadsheet with the static information that doesn't change every release. I really don't want to add another doc - right now we have - A punch list doc An email template doc A trac wiki page A services spreadsheet As time goes on the more info repositories we have the more opportunity for them to diverge and confusion to occur. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Miriam L.

Would it make sense to put the common name, repo name, contact(s), and description in a doc by itself? It could be cumulative across all releases.

Adding columns to services spreadsheet
by Nomi Harris 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Today I talked to Elizabeth, who is starting to work on materials for the User Zone on the website, which will include tutorials, a new User Guide, and more. She is also helping to write the text about the individual services that is currently on http://www.kbase.us/developer-zone/services/ . Elizabeth asked me for two pieces of information for each service: the git repo name and corresponding "human language" name of each service (for example, Central Store Service is in the kb_seed repo--you'd never guess that if you didn't already know), and also whether the service is internal-only or user-facing. I think this information would be useful to have on the Services spreadsheet (in fact, that spreadsheet used to have the human and git repo names for each service, but lost that at some point), but it already has a lot of columns, so I'd like permission to add those two. The Feb 4 Major tab (https://docs.google.com/a/lbl.gov/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ana5oznWypH2dFppaEJz…) is empty so far, so maybe we can start from scratch and think about what columns make sense. There were some on the previous tabs that we probably don't need anymore. Thanks, Nomi Harris Project Manager, KBase
