Selected decisions

  • Christian Wulf (Unlicensed) and Florian Echternkamp push the process of the feature page creation KIEKER-1451 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Armin Möbius and Sven Ulrich to create a JIRA ticket for the Cassandra writer/reader. For the integration, automatic tests are needed. The DB writer/reader tickets could serve as a template.
  • To keep everybody up-to-date regarding running study theses, please spread proposal slides, proposal documents, theses via the Kieker research mailing list.
  • Andre van Hoorn will announce when the Git repository will be moved from Gitlab to GitHub. The only way to integrate changes into the master will be a merge request. "Heavy committers" will get access to the Kieker repository. For students, the default is to go via a GitHub fork and pull request.
