Release Manager

SPH

"owns" release, initiates process, creates tracking page, sends daily status updates, tracks issues to completion, makes sure everyone gets their stuff done, brings decisions to CCB/team, maintains tracking page, collects lessons learned, documents process improvements for next release. Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

Build Manager

LOJ

controls build system, creates RCs, sends RC availability announcements. Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

Test Manager

TR

control GUI/script testing for each RC.  Must be reachable and preferably in the office during critical stages like creating and testing RCs.

GUI Behavior when using Includes is not completed.

GUI is viewable not savable when using includes.  Basically disable saving of the GUI view.  Propose closing as not a risk, just work that needs to be done.

Display command fell of the radar

This command will be combined with Save and called Write. Propose closing as not a risk, just work that needs to be done.

MATLAB Writer for nav data. 

Stand alone is working, ready for GMAT integration.  Has MATLAB dependency which affects integration.  Tracked in ticket system.

Delta V computation from finite burn is not on task and harder than SPH's origional idea.

SDO is evaulating if approximations are good enough.  Since the maneuvers times are short, dt*thrust is an excellent approximation for delta-V.  Preliminary tests indicate about 1% error using approximation.

The main question from SDO was whether the approximations are good enough for the delta H maneuvers.  They see 5 sig figs which is good enough.  The approximation is not good enough for large maneuvers they plan far in the future.   Current plan is to change SOW deliverables for R2016b to include integration of delta V to ensure long term needs are met.  Deliver R2016a with the approximation.

Alpha/Beta Features are exposed but not easy to turn off.  FileThrust, GUIs for Nav components

This is being tracked on GMT-4862.   This does not seem to be a tall pole.  Propose closing as not a risk, just work that needs to be done.  Still need a plan for disabling untested data types. 

Scrub things that should be disabled.   For example, old syntax like DataFile, MeasurementModel.  This is being tracked in JIRA.

May need to use RedHat 6.?. 

Might need to use Windows, status of Linux for ODT is unknown.

FDF is running Linux 7, with workaround for ssh.

Installer for cross platform supporting SVN data update utility

Current plan is that Data Update Utility will be included only if time allows, and that means time to fix issues and get installer working.  Note, we probably do not need installer fro RC1, so that work could be pushed back until September if need be. 

Data file update utility will not be in R2016a, it will be in R2016b.
