Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Thanks for the quick reply, Christa. We currently have 8 developers on the MOSES team dedicated to this effort. I've set an aggressive schedule and dedicated finite resources. The purpose is to have the MOSES grid modified in such a way that can support experimentation and deployment schedules. With respect to experimentation, we plan to meet certain publication deadlines for the spring/summer conferences and need the PhysX module in place by the end of Sept. to support data collection in the Fall. We have also made a commitment to our colleagues at NVidia to support a speaking engagement in late Nov, which means we need preliminary data ASAP.
With respect to the deployment schedules, I would like to have stable MOSES prototypes available for our human performance evaluation work by January. Thus far the IRC route has had moderate success. Recently we had an issue where guidance from one developer conflicted with guidance from another, resulting in us needing to re-code part of a patch. Our schedule cannot tolerate too many of these issues. I've made it clear to the MOSES team that they are to consult with the OS devs and make every effort possible to ensure the code we submit will be accepted. Currently the acceptance process is quite subjective and we are struggling to figure out how to provide meaningful contributions. Lastly, I've asked the members of the MOSES team to introduce themselves to this list so that you'll know who you are dealing with on the IRC and in the grids. v/r -doug Dr. Douglas Maxwell Science and Technology Manager Virtual World Strategic Applications U.S. Army Research Lab Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC) (c) (407) 242-0209 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Diva Canto Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 11:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] Design Review (UNCLASSIFIED) Hi Doug and everyone working for Doug, In OpenSim, design is something that happens continuously and in closed loop with implementation. We don't have scheduled meetings, because that would be pretty much impossible to set up given all other commitments that people have and time zones where people live. In order to support continuous design/implementation, we meet "continuously" in the IRC #opensim-dev channel -- that's our large, open, perpetually on, meeting room. If you login there, chances are you will find a critical mass of us also logged in. Even when we can't participate, we will see the chat log later on, especially if our names have been mentioned, because IRC clients have visual cues when someone mentions certain keywords of interest to us. When that happens, we usually ping back. And even when we are logged off when important conversations happen, someone will copy-paste the chat when we join. So, all in all, much better than a scheduled meeting. Having said that, the best time periods to get critical mass on any day of the week are probably 9am to 9pm PST. And if you really want to make sure certain of us are there, send those people an email or PM asking if they can make themselves available at a certain date/time. Looking forward to seeing many more of you there, (please do join!)

I'd like to discuss with you our development roadmap and timelines. We have a tight schedule, and now that we have working stats collection in place, we can begin refinement of the simulator to enhance performance. The PhysX module is almost ready for prime time and we would like to go over it with you before submitting the patch. I am aware that you sometimes meet, but I don't know where/when at this time. We have 9 members of the MOSES team on this effort, would you like us to come to you? We could host you on the MOSES grid if you'd rather come there. Lots of progress is being made and we'd like to fall into a comfortable groove so that development can continue at an efficient pace. Looking forward to your feedback. v/r -doug Douglas Maxwell Science and Technology Manager Virtual World Strategic Applications U.S. Army Research Lab Simulation & Training Technology Center (STTC) (c) (407) 242-0209 Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE
