The Ingres Janitors Project
Roy Hann, Ingres Engineering Summit 2008, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

 

Home

This is a presentation given at the Ingres Engineering Summit 2008 partly as a status bulletin, and partly as a call to arms. It was specifically intended to highlight things that still needed work at that time.

Happily, most of the problems and issues noted here have been fixed. For up-to-date information please contact the people mentioned in the presentation.

The development sprint mentioned near the end of the presentation did go ahead as planned, and was a huge success.  (Download Emma McGrattan's presentation on it here.)
