Scott: MySQL 5.5 - Tomcat verification testing, Loader testing.

• Continued tomcat testing.   Some failed tests regarding RMI tests.
• Larger loads on MySQL 5.5.   Performance seems on par.  

Cory:  Out

Craig: Project Plan Updates

Document that captured a performance document that was submitted to justify better hardware.   Also include a basis for target performance.  After review, there was followup required.   Will require ongoing discussion and refinement of the document going forward.  

JJ asked if there was a timetable to address performance concerns.   The goal is that in the 6.2 time frame, plan to have adequate hardware and consistent hardware from Dev to Prod.   This timetable would lead to Sept 2014.    This performance will need to be included in the project plan - include creating performance profiles of 6.2 on DEV hardware on Shady Grove and then evaluate performance at that point and determine what else would need to be done.   Additional work would need to be prioritized against the currently planned tasks at that time.  

Currently looking at all aspects of process - including updates of terminologies.   Agile approaches still being decided.  EVS will be a good product to evaluate approaches. 

Would like to have common education to provide a definition of how we will run the project with Agile.   This will ensure that all teams/groups will understand what aspects of Agile will be in this process.

Provide an initial analysis of how Agile could work in LexEVS environment that could feed requirements to the formal process.  

Risks on Mayo's side - small development team that is required to develop and also address immediate issues/concerns.  Typical agile sprints are focused and limited to defined sprint.  Moving forward, do we need to support agile and the existing expectations of support?  Need to consider such expectations.    TODO:  Scott to capture issues/concerns that we may have. 

Project plans to start reflecting agile in the September time frame.

URI format was agreed.  No additional news.  One concern was if the old URIs are being used by anyone.   Need to look to see if the URI resolver has logging.   TODO:  Scott to determine if there is logging. 

Recently received a forum posting from the old VKC forum.  Realized the readme was linking users to the VKC forum.  We can fix the readme, but now that we need to modify the files and push to NCIP channel, we need to figure out how we would make the change and push to both channels. 

Will need to discuss with Gilberto next week.

List of value set client - NCBO, TLAMP issues.  Scott and Craig to provide list of any existing issues.  

There will be an NLM demo.  Want to include lessons learned.
