1. Software tools: stash, confluence, jira, hip chat etc. We have transitioned to all of these. Are there any changes we want to make to the configurations. What are the irritations
General:
    • Time outs are too short
Hipchat:
    • link JIRA issue to chat (hip chat to JIRA and JIRA to hip chat)
JIRA: 
    • Can't reply to a comment on a JIRA issue as a thread (e.g. can't reply to a previous comment and have the comment embedded or indented)
    • Can't assign points after a sprint has started
    • Want to link JIRA issue to chat (hip chat to JIRA or JIRA to hip chat)
    • When the session times out it throws and error and won't give you a link to long in or navigate to where you were (just says you are logged out)
Stash:
    • can't link comments in JIRA with those in stash
    • logs out every 5s
    • Having issues with git pull 
    • Side by side diffs 
confluence:
    • can't work in markup
    • tab doesnt always indent
    • JimC there is plugin that will let you insert wiki markup directly
    • Cathy would like a Gantt chart capability


2. Workshops: Cadence, DESC, All-hands status of simulation sessions
All hands
    • waiting on draft agenda for the breakouts.
Cadence Workshop
    • Knut registration is open:

Opsim
    • All of Zeljko's reruns of opsim done early next week
    • Working on what to observe if requirements are met and time is left in the survey

    Regarding markup mode in Confluence, you can enter markup text directly if you select 'Wiki Markup' from the Insert menu.  However, Confluence translates this to an internal format and the markup information is lost when you save the entry.  If you want to write something in markup text and be able to edit it again, then you need to use the 'Wiki markup without migration' macro, which is the very last one on the Other Macros list from the Insert menu.  A quick way to get it is to type '{wi'.  Confluence will then offer you a short list of macros matching that text.  The macro inserts an (invisible) frame into the page, and anything in the frame is interpreted as old Confluence markup text, and it stays that way.
