¶ Updates and Issues
Yannick: new version of Opalr (3.4): included new features such as automatic retry strategy (request from users).
- Florian: lost connection issue fixed? > different problem (Suggestion Andrei, run script in blocks, connect to the same workspace after ±10 min and carry on)
Morris: Armadillo almost has a new release with a fix for the Arrow updates issue and profiles run on Rock.
Demetris:
- Statistical theme meetings: every time a presentation from a (function/package) developer. January meeting was cancelled.
- Shared spreadsheet was created with ideas on development and plans, goal is to create a roadmap. This will be shared in the future, but not sure yet in what format. Input is still needed from some developers, for example from Roche. More on this probably in the next meeting
- Requests for new functions from several projects like ProPASS. Most projects are happy with the current versions.
New on the wiki:
- Draft response for disclosure issues (input is welcome)
- Checklist for disclosure audit:
Florian presented some ideas on this in the statistical theme meeting. No decision yet on who is going to do this work > shared effort from the tech core theme or governance theme? Andrei: make sure these discussions happen in the same place and not scattered, important topic across the whole community.
- Operational theme roadmap
Question Morris: Discussing a ‘smoke test’ for the profiles to verify if the setup of the networks (profiles) works. Is this part of operations or infra?
- Operations
- Tests to install data on the server and authentication
