THREE BIG THINGS THIS WEEK

  1. As we shift to using ‘translational units’ to compile FIMS, much like how RTMB compiles, we are also thinking about storing metrics related to building FIMS, e.g., compile time and size. This week Matthew is working on getting PR #1430 and PR #1336 to work together.

  2. Week 2 of community bonding with the Google Summer of Code Contributors. We are meeting with each of them to finalize their proposals.

  3. Reworking this weekly newsletter to be more informative about FIMS development by changing the Photo of the Week to a Project Summary of the Week.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Just this morning I learned that issues associated with a milestone can be ordered to show users which issues will be worked on first. This should help communicate how work will be prioritized within FIMS.
