[Insight-developers] Alpha Testers...

[Terry S. Yoo]

Hi all...

*shoot*  I finally get back from travel and vacation and get all of my
stuff together for a tcon, and we cancel it.

Hmmpf.

So, the things that I had that shouldn't wait:

I have contacted all of the alpha testers: we were shooting for 6, we
listed 8.  Of the eight that I contacted, I have five positive replys.
Below I am listing the alpha testers we have contacted, their likely
strengths, and the original volunteer shepards from among the
developers.  Remember, you all agreed to this in April.


Brian Athey (Michigan,Pitt) - large data - Lorensen
    bleu@umich.edu  
Russ Taylor (Hopkins, CMU, BWH, MIT) - Slicer - Udupa
    rht@cs.jhu.edu  
Rich Robb (Mayo) - interface to external package - Chalana
    rar@mayo.edu 
Sandy Napel, Dev (Stanford)- Whitaker
    snapel@stanford.edu 
Allison Noble IRC (Oxford, Kings College) - Target Jr - Hoffman, Stetten
    noble@robots.ox.ac.uk 

We have not heard yet from the following.

Chuck Stewart (RPI), registration - Brad
    stewart@cs.rpi.edu  
Jim Duncan (Yale) - Steve, Dimitri
    Duncan@noodle.med.yale.edu 
Vic Spitzer (Colorado) = Lorensen
    vic.spitzer@uchsc.edu 


So, action items:

1.  Lorensen, Udupa, Chalana, Whitaker, and Hoffman/Stetten should
    begin coordinating the distribution of tarballs, make contact
    with the specified testers, and begin the process.  They're
    waiting for your e-mail.  That's one person from each contract,
    so far, so I think it's a fair distribution of work.

2.  Vikram, please close the bug from the buglist that says I have to
    contact folk.

3.  Everyone please remember that validation plans are due on 30
    September 2001.  I think that I've been talking about September
    quite loosely.  Having checked the work assignments, that
    deliverable is due 30 Sep.


Questions?
