GCon
Bharat is going to send out reimbursements for all submitted expenses by next meeting
Gallery 1
Tim_j has been fixing bugs (early testers found lots of bugs in 1.5.8)
Waiting for ckdake to come back and release it
Gallery 2.3
2.3-RC1 out the door, getting feedback, lots of small bugs
valiant: the one thing i'm worried most about is the upgrade path where the entity/map description isn't inserted into the schema table for some reason
bharat: we can consider adding checkpoints to core code to deal with "big upgrade" problem
valiant: we should fix the imagemagick 6.4 problem before RC2
virshu will create bug for imagemagick 6.x and assign it to himself and work on it for RC2
alindeman/valiant will work on user album core permission bug
valiant will update blocking bug list for RC2
RC2 tentative timeframe: Aug 13th.
Still missing some icons
Upgrade SnapGalaxy to 1.0 (per bharat's discussion with Keval on -devel)
Gallery Competition
Alec isn't here, so carrying forward last week's notes:
Some thoughts:
Competitions are good to get people involved
Focus on the gallery usage not the content.
Criteria: visual impact, good design usability, novel features, unusual customization
Basis of the competition is predicated on the assumption that there are people who have done more with gallery than just download and stick with a straight install - tuned the templates, adjusted the css, custom themes
More than a new theme contest, more of a showcase
Overall, +1 for the contest...
