Agreed and made public
New version of armadillo 4.13.1 has been released
New version of Opal has been released - contains a new version of Rock.
Corresponding R libraries have been made available as well.
All have been tested using continuous integration, no problems noted.
New version of ds.tidyverse also, needs to be rolled out.
As above.
Armadillo meant to enable workspace management to node managers.
Have invested time in longstanding project for monitoring, particularly in Armadillo.
Looking forward, sometimes have issues with network dropping/time-outs, armadillo team working on that. Also implemented Rock, but investigating performance issues.
Infrequent communications with Yannick. He's basically very busy but is involved in a new grant so will give him more time. Focus 5 is another project Yannick is participating in, to use DS in the NHS.
Stuart seems to be the go-between Armadillo and Yannick.
ds.base - has been discussed to take out disclosure control and put into a disclosure control package, to take away dependencies
Some functions to be deprecated in 7.0
Another meeting about how to improve the performance of ds.base and strange error messaging
Survey to go out soon about coding guidelines (lookng for limesurvey)
Introductory session to wiki, perhaps in 2-3 months, for editing purposes.
Discussion that it's not that difficult to use the wiki!
Havent met recently other than as part of the Process Theme.
Tim and Stuart have been making amendments to the wiki.
Established a working group for the website.
Stuart has been concentrating on tech content
Tim has been focussed on the frontpage, will probably move that across to the website.
Need to have a meeting to discuss the website.
Have a process theme meeting on 2nd April. Will try to have a WG meeting for website before that
Hex stickers - Florian has discussed with Roy. Were first thinking of who wants something before contacting Tarik again.
Also working on conference, this seems to be going well. Slightly struggling with one of the speakers for the panel discussion but hope to have that sorted soon.
Newsletter - not done yet. But only received only one report back/article so far, so going a bit slow. Will try to have something before Easter - any articles send to Angela in March
Conference panl speaker - may be ask Bodil, other person might be Chris Dibben from Edinburgh
celcius from UCL are working on e-datashield to look at ONS data
looking at combining Vantage6 with datashield.
Have contacted a law firm in the Netherlands but not heard back - Andrei to chase up
Tim has been working on the wiki
Decided on workshops for the conference
Met last week
Members of the Board would like to be more involved in the project.
Asked whether they have an open invitation to attend Theme meetings so they could see what's going on.
Certainly appropriate for them to come to the drop-in meetings.
Startig to think about what they can be working on to help the project....
APM asked about what they are expecting in regards to payment
For the DS conference, if Solange gets all the grant funding for speakers, may be able to use some sponsorship money to cover DAB member to attend on panel
Will use NIHR rates for compensation for all of the conference. Solange was going to try and get money for all the speakers from a grant sib could apply for
Florian suggested might be more efficient for DAB to come to Core Group meetings as they'll get more of an overview.
Contnues to meet every 3 weeks, has been proposed to move to 4 weeks.
Thinking of doing a more out-facing one every quarter, but haven't done anything about that yet. Need to interact with Process Theme.
Next meeting 2nd April.
Suggested to have a separate meeting for abstracts
Timeline:
Registration to open May until end of August
Trying to match speakers to Themes.
Thursday 12th June, 2pm-4pm -
