Meeting with Ely for BHL-AU-US-ome

Minutes

Martin is currently in New York with Nancy Gwinn, so he might not have been able to attend.We talked about the situation that Ely had explained in her email, indicating that Simon had a family emergency to deal with and needed to fly at very short notice to Queensland, where he may stay with his family for several weeks. Right now, it's unknown when he'll be able to go back to work (remotely from Queensland).
Ely indicated that they are looking to get Ajay Ranipeta, who has just finished a project and who is currently at MV. Ajay will help them take on from where Simon has left until he comes back. Ely said they still would expect to comply with the dates. William noted that the first date was today and that no updated package had been received by Mike yet, and that there's still some work that Simone was going to do with some of the new landing pages.

Ely explained she got back two days before Simon had to leave so they really didn't have a chance to catch up and find out how far Simon had gone with the development of the BookViewer, but she would send him an email to figure it out, when he's back online and can reply back. She will also include the question about Simone's work on the Segment pages on the email to find out where are we with that.
William asked Ely if Bugherd is the free version or the paid one. Ely said she think it might be the free version. William told Ely they would like to use Bugherd to record the comments and observations to the beta site while testing. Currently, the site uses Simon's Bugherd ID to send him the observations, so Mike would like to know if Simon is done with the existing observations so we can change the beta page and put Mike's Bugherd ID in there so he can get the comments from the review. We don't want Simon to lose any comments he hadn't pickup.illiam then asked Ely that, in that case, we would like to know if Simon has finished with its use in the beta site, so that he doesn't lose any observations when Mike sets his own Bugherd ID on those pages to get the Staff comments.
William then summarized that he was happy to have Ajay on board, but he recognized that we would need to give him now some time to familiarize himself with the code that Simon wrote. Tomorrow, he said he would communicate tomorrow that at least a 2 week delay would need to be incorporated to get the modifications uploaded and the beta testing started and he would then modify the planned calendar accordingly.
Ely said she would send a message as soon as she hears back from Simon.

Ely mentioned that, if it is not possible for Noha to host the next Global BHL Meeting in Alexandria, then we could consider also that she will be in the North Hemisphere around June 19-20, 2012 attending the LODLAM Summit 2013 in Montreal, Canada. Ely asked if anyone from BHL-US would attend. William said he will send the link (http://summit2013.lodlam.net/) indicating about the Conference
