ICE cycle 2008-07-30

Summary

Last week, Sam finished his contract with us.

Issues with course server access meant ICE-RAM wasn’t functioning for a short time for courseware servers 2009 and 2010.

Linda and Ron concentrated on stabilising ICE2.0 and bug fixing following the merge. Linda and David worked on the Framemaker to ICE conversion. Ron did some initial investigation of the TheOREM project.

This week we continue to concentrate on our priorities of bug-fixing and consolidating ICE2.0. There will be downtime for all ICE2.0 servers while ICT move their location.

Ron will work on the ICE-TheOREM project when he has a moment free. Oliver may have some free time to help.

We will commence preliminary work for DiReCt. This isn’t a priority, however we need to be prepared.
