== 2300 UTC 2nd May 2010 (4pm PDT) ==

Parallel to the SSF Annual Meeting. Hopefully there will a few people at the meeting who can jump on IRC and keep us updated virtually!

== 0600 UTC 17th April 2010 ==
=== Agenda ===
 * Introductions
 * Open
  * Wiki - How can we make it better?
  * (please enter your questions or what you would like to share/discuss here)
  * Say I have an arbitrary SQL query involving multiple tables.  I would like to hand it to the database, then be able to use the result, e.g. as a view.  (I don't necessarily just want to display this as a list in a form -- it might be an intermediate step in business logic.)  How do I 1) get the query executed? 2) access the result? 3) use it in a form?
  * Are we still interested in a [WorkOutIdeas Work Out]? Date? What outputs should we try to achieve?
  * New name.
 * Follow-Up Activities
=== Outcomes ===
 * Pat raised a good question about SQL queries, which has since kicked off it’s own email thread.
 * Robby and Gavin had a good discussion about how the survey tool could be extended to share data in EDXL messages.  This is probably beyond the scope of a GSOC project, but good to keep in mind for the design.
 * Michael suggested using S3XRC for Shikhark’s importer project in order to enforce data validation.
 * Documentation
  * Praneeth recommended that code is “scrubbed” and has better comments and doc-strings.
  * Gavin commented that there were too many links.
  * There was a request for better basic documentation on BZR
  * Revision of documentation is best to wait until the SFF has decided on standard infrastructure.
 * It was agreed that it would be good for people to email this list to inform the community what they were working on
  * Weekly emails are possibly excessive for volunteers, but will be required from GSOC students.
  * Definitely notify the list when you add new features
  * Notify the list when you start, complete or give up on projects. This will hopefully increase collaboration and reduce overlap.
