*Carryover Action Items*

[AI} {TomZ} will investigate using a relational method of representing 
changes for the audit/change log.

[AI] {Team} will move forward with JIRA items marked as “major” or 
“critical”

[AI] {All interested} Review the Grouper and I2MI-Common roadmaps, and 
discuss on the list, with a particular focus on whether the loader 
should be included in Grouper 1.4.

**Discussion**

* Who’s Doing What *

TomB reviewed who in the Grouper WG is working on what projects.

- Chris is working on hooks.

- TomZ is working on the audit/change log. After that is complete, TomZ 
plans to move forward on the subject API 1.0

- Kathryn is working on LDAP PC and getting the new Signet 1.3 API 
integrated with it. Then Kathryn will leverage the audit/change log when 
it is ready.

- Shilen is involved in tuning things, including working on a bug with 
the effective memberships. He will likely finish that in the next 2 
weeks. Shilen will discuss in phone conversation with TomB the next Jira 
issues to work on.

* Status on UI *

Kathryn presented a talk on Grouper and Signet at the recent Great 
Plains Networks Annual Meeting. She gave a demo of new UI, and it was 
well received.

Bill reported that at Penn users are not yet using the new UI.

* Change/Audit Log *

Is it better to use hooks or Grouper code for incorporating the 
change/audit log into Grouper? TomZ and Chris both favored the hooks 
approach to make the change/audit log more “pluggable.”
It was decided that TomZ could move ahead now with work on the 
audit/change log, without waiting for Chris to complete additional work 
on hooks. Hooks for groups and membership are already in place.

* Hooks *

The group endorsed the work Chris has done so far on hooks.

* JIRA *

There was a review of unassigned Grouper and I2MI-Common JIRA issues. 
Decisions and assignments included:

Grouper JIRA Assignments:
GRP 15: Shilen for Grouper 1.3.1
GRP 53: Shilen for (depends on GRP 136)
GRP 79: Shilen for post-Grouper 1.4
GRP 120: Gary for Grouper 1.3.1
GRP 114 : Shilen for Grouper 1.3.1
GRP 126: Gary for Grouper 1.3.1
I2MI-Common JIRA Assignments:
MCO-5: Kathryn
MCO-11: Kathryn says it’s resolved. Will ask Joy for feedback.
MCO-14: Kathryn
MCO-15: Kathryn
MCO-16: TomZ

* Ldappc *

Kathryn reported that the conversion of Ldappc to Apache Maven (instead 
of Apache Ant) is complete. The documentation still needs to be updated 
to refer to Maven. Grouper provisioning tests pass. Tests on Signet 
1.3.0 are not successful, and Dave is looking at this.

Next call: Wed 9-Jul Noon EDT.
