Agenda and Minutes

Help Desk

  • Please double-check any tickets assigned to you and close, if you can
  • Check unassigned tickets that still need a claimant, if possible, or perhaps a priority rating?

IWM Meeting

  • Planning for the WB workshop
  • Need some separate meetings for this?
  • TH: who’s attending? Do we have travel funds available?

New items

  • WB needs Genes from nameserver, which is on AWS, so need creds or AMI ?
    • TH
      • I will give a post-mortem of the recent credential leak at the next conference call.
      • The preferred and recommended way to do this would be via an assumed role, not dedicated AWS CLI credentials.
      • I think you mean instance? AMIs are images of instances. IMHO a stand-alone instance is overkill, and already have instances available to run a cron.
    • Juancarlos
      • That's great. I don't know much about AWS. If you're able to set up a cronjob to daily
        • java -cp wb-names-export.jar clojure.main -m wormbase.names.export gene genes.csv
      • And put the output genes.csv somewhere web accessible, I think that's all Caltech would need.
      • I don't know much more about it, other than Matt Russell told me to run that (we went back and forth a bunch of times before it worked).
      • Here's a copy of the .jar file
    • Thanks, JC! We can make that work from one of our persistent instances. I will look when I return from vacation.

IWM

  • Mary Ann Mahoney would ask for more details when the time is right. It's accepted we have the workshop. Ranjana has 4 talks listed. 90 minutes total. 60 mins of talks, 30 mins of open Q&A.

Grant

  • Paul : Summary statement for WormBase grant. Love everything. 2 criticisms. Alliance is good, but what if it fails. Weren't as innovative as previous years. Because we're not proposing tools. Score is 14 which is amazing. We can be innovative.

WS289 model change (not happening)

  • Ranjana has a small model change to get asserted human genes in at the point of curation. Mark and Stavros have looked it over. Stavros has said there's time to get that in. Stavros will try to do it next week or on the 17th after holiday. Wen thought upload would be the 11th, if build won't start until 27th, could postpone upload until 18th. Stavros needs a couple of days pre-build, will start on 17th. Ranjana could push model change build to next release, need model change. Mark can do model change on Tuesday 11th. Caltech needs it by upload on the 11th. Mark will do model change tonight. Ranjana and Juancarlos will change dumpers. Raymond : rebuild CitaceMinus with new models and notify people. Wen : prefer procedure to have model changes 2 weeks before. Mark : Magdalena knew procedure, but left, so EBI needs to know. Stavros : Asked for model changes a couple of weeks ago.
