[09:18:00 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, alexn, cindyli: how does the testing look so far, from your point of view?

[09:19:10 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> my branch works ok but since I haven't merged in authoring-vp, it may not be accurate

[09:20:04 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> anastasiac: we are going through the list of things we have done and want to define a list of things which are left to be done (as double wrapping or wrong hover) but once it is done, we are going to do a thorough testing. yura, can comment more on this.

[09:20:35 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I think today we should all be testing on the server today, to ensure that the actual demo will be ok

[09:20:38 CDT(-0500)] <yura> cindyli: see http://vp.staging.oercommons.org/authoring/edit/112 where we have the latest code deployed. But as anastasiac mentioned create your own test OER for testing, and not edit anything that's already there

[09:20:49 CDT(-0500)] <yura> http://vp.staging.oercommons.org/authoring/edit/112new rather

[09:21:01 CDT(-0500)] <yura> http://vp.staging.oercommons.org/authoring/edit/112/new

[09:21:03 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: i was reading "http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Script+for+OER+Commons+Authoring+Tool+Demo", in the section "Gotchas: Things NOT to do", the first point is "Use Firefox", does it actually mean that you must use firefox, rather than not to?

[09:21:46 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> good point, cindyli. I think we should recommend that Jutta use Firefox. I'll clarify the instructions

[09:25:58 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yura, anastasiac, in yesterday's pull request, I forgot to remove the half-baked process for uploading the local videos. Sigh… this thing props up into my mind till this morning. So It would be safer to add one more point into "things NOT to do": not to upload a local video

[09:26:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, will do

[09:26:25 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thanks, anastasiac

[09:26:52 CDT(-0500)] <yura> cindyli: we tried that right now and it uploads it and displays as link

[09:27:13 CDT(-0500)] <yura> anastasiac: do you know what the status is for demo data ?

[09:27:15 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ah ha, surprise but a good surprise.

[09:27:49 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, we have one OER that I'm preparing for Jutta to use: #64. I'm trying to make sure it's in the right state for the demo

[09:27:58 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> it has some text already

[09:28:20 CDT(-0500)] <yura> anastasiac: great

[09:33:59 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, would you have time to "user test" the demo script this morning?

[09:34:16 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac, yura, after looking into the current code at authoring-vp, the chunk of code of identifying the local video at server side (media.py) has been replaced by recongonizing the video link. This means it's safe to upload a local video which would insert as a link. anastasiac, you don't need to add that "not to do" point. but eventually we need to clean up other pieces we modified for local video upload.

[09:34:54 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, ok, I'll double-check it and revise the instructions accordingly

[09:35:08 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thanks, anastasiac

[09:35:39 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, please let me know if you'll be able to test the script - there are some caveats

[09:39:13 CDT(-0500)] <yura> anastasiac, cindyli, alexn, jameswy I updated http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Floe+Demo+Plan

[09:42:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, these are tasks for next week? or thing to try to fix today?

[09:44:36 CDT(-0500)] <yura> anastasiac: we ll try to make another pull request perhaps by the end of the day. There's nothing new there except for a couple of styling issues there and the known problems (addition to the end + self closing tags)

[09:44:42 CDT(-0500)] <yura> anastasiac: what do you think ?

[09:55:02 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, personally I'm not inclined to make any more changes to the code unless we really have to

[09:55:10 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> we should consider this like code freeze: blockers only

[09:55:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> sorry - gotta run for a few minutes

[10:09:39 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Sorry, was on a call. Yes, I can. Now?

[10:16:44 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, no problem. Any time. The things to note are: don't use the OER referenced in the script, use #110 instead: http://vp.staging.oercommons.org/authoring/edit/110 Also, please try it out on your laptop screen, not on the giant monitor

[10:17:25 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Okidoki.

[10:25:32 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, if you feel the need for any changes to the script, feel free to make them yourself

[11:03:52 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Script gets a thumbs up.

[11:11:44 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: we've dropped the dealing with the focus issue at inserting media. I'm now focus on testing vp.staging site.

[11:21:16 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, thanks for the update

[11:21:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, thanks for checking the script - glad you're happy. Nothing showed up in the interactions that worried you?

[13:02:37 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> hi everyone

[13:02:44 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> yura: how're floe things going?

[13:02:53 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I saw that Andrey pushed your pull request

[13:04:56 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> alexn, anastasiac, cindyli: how're floe things going?

[13:05:14 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> hi, michelle, how's the hack-a-thon?

[13:05:35 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> it's good - I've joined the team Octocat

[13:05:42 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> excellent!

[13:05:48 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> working on github?

[13:07:16 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> as for floe, I think we're in good shape, but I'm working from home (so as not to cough all over everyone), so I don't have the ideal vantage point. james has gone through the final script draft and ok'd it, and I'm continuing to test, just to be sure, michelled

[13:07:38 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> thanks! sounds like things are going well

[13:07:51 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I hope you are feeling better soon

[13:07:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I think yura et al. might be working to fix a last couple of tweaks in the hopes of getting another pull request in (though I think we should let sleeping dogs lie)

[13:08:07 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I don't feel too bad, but I don't want to spread germs

[13:08:11 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> anastasiac: I cced you on an assembla issue around the data loss

[13:08:31 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, should I get an email about that?

[13:08:31 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> I'll try to watch it but as of next Thursday I'll probably be offline for a week or so

[13:08:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> is there a ticket number?

[13:08:54 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> anastasiac: it's this one: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/iskme/tickets/445-missing-resource#last_comment

[13:09:07 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> thanks

[13:32:13 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, cindyli: alexn just pointed out that the scrub bar is not working in the video player. We'll need to add that to the list

[13:32:46 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok

[13:40:25 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> alexn, regarding the scrub bar: I notice that it does work if you first use the transcript to navigate to somewhere in the video. Do you see the same thing?

[13:41:01 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> anastasiac: let me try

[13:42:39 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> anastasiac: yes

[13:42:44 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> the same result

[13:42:59 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> good find anastasiac. At least it is something to start looking at

[13:43:20 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I also notice that trying to use the transcript scrollbar is not a good idea << cindyli and yura

[13:43:49 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> clicking and dragging it actually moves the whole video

[13:46:02 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: yes, at edit mode but not preview. i believe it's related to the rangy DOM selection

[13:46:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ah, makes sense

[14:25:46 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> anastasiac, cindyli, alexn, yura: I think we have a blocker

[14:26:19 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> michelled, what is it?

[14:26:30 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> apparently alexn and cindyli are looking into it

[14:26:38 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> it's the fact that you can't scroll the table of contents

[14:26:58 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> and when using a projector you can't make the window large enough to show the A4A data

[14:27:05 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, shoot

[14:27:06 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli, alexn: is that what you are working on?

[14:27:20 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> michelled: sigh.., no, we are working on the unclickable scroller bar

[14:27:20 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> this will require changes to the auth tool proper, won't it?

[14:27:51 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: I think that's lower priority

[14:27:57 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I'd agree with michelled

[14:28:06 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> well, not "scroller bar", should be the video player scrubber bar, ok, we will switch the target

[14:32:02 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: please let me know if you guys figure it out or need any more help from anyone

[14:32:13 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> looks like we'll need to make another pull request after all

[14:32:23 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, michelled

[14:35:48 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: ISO 24751 is the spec for AFA?

[14:35:59 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, yep

[14:36:07 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Gracias.

[14:37:24 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Do you know where the nightly build of the video player is on the build site?

[14:38:01 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy: http://build.fluidproject.org/videodemo/videoPlayer/demos/Mammals.html I believe. michelled can confirm

[14:38:18 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> yep, that's it

[15:16:22 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, cindyli, alexn: how are things going? Is there anything I could help with from here?

[15:17:32 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: the toc scrollable issue has been fixed and pushed, yura is merging it and setting up a test env in his machine with the latest code for us to test through

[15:17:49 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, excellent! that's great to hear

[15:17:54 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> congrats

[15:39:55 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, is the fix in your FLOE-3 branch, or elsewhere?

[15:40:26 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> FLOE-3, yes, anastasiac

[15:40:33 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> k

[16:03:46 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yura, how are things going?
