Biweekly 4/11/20 - Agenda and notes

In short and in writing, here are updates from the tech team side. Nothing actionable or very important for right now, so I didn’t mention this in the call when we were running short of time.

  • Tidy-up November. My November is dedicated to tidying up the Edgeryders tech stuff. I’m not calling for more work, but if you have some urgent tech or documentation issue that needs to be addressed, let me know and I’ll take it into account.

  • Software and budget troubles. We had some troubles with our software in the last few days, as usual. Both Open Ethnographer and Discourse. All under control right now, but I’ll have to find more resources for this in the medium term. For example, we’d need to switch to the more expensive strategy of working with automated software tests to keep the Open Ethnographer software more stable, as it is becoming too complex for manual testing after making changes. But we have completely run out of budget for Open Ethnographer, given that the tech side was underfunded in the current H2020 projects.

  • Graphryder reimplementation. The last status is this (from another topic):

    To get this moving again, @marina could you help us find the time for this, please? @hugi will be the the central person here, as he offered to facilitate / direct that meeting. He proposed that it should extend over two days.

 

Also, “what made me happy” didn’t fit into words, so here it goes … the countryside just out the door today, with a little bit of lighting edits :blush:
