Fix 504 gateway timeout error
- Looked into unit test - can create a Guzzle client that will produce a mock 504 gateway timeout response which is caught by the ServerException catch clause in getPublications(). This function will then return a null value for citation so unit test needs to assert citation is null.
- Can't see how to create a queue for the client to return 504 errors from http://gigadb.gigasciencejournal.com:9170/test_gateway_error
- Guzzle documentation says that test web servers are not required for simulating requests - can use mock handler to do this
- Therefore, the nginx 504 location directive at http://gigadb.gigasciencejournal.com:9170/test_gateway_error is not needed any more in case a hacker stumbles upon it if it was deployed on production.

Finish work on 504 gateway timeout error by implementing Rija's comments to create a unit test for getPublications function in StoredDatasetConnection class
Work on merging Ken's PRs
More planning work on GigaDB infrastructure plan
Work on WL submission wizard

Reviewed technical project manager job specification
Led calibration complexity meeting on 25 Feb
Worked on Scrum 101 document - added text do explain how we know when we are done
Worked on recording end to end workflow of file upload wizard. Found a couple of issues: use of authenticated URLs to download files but doesn't work any more on Safari and Chrome. This functionality is deprecated for downloading authenticated URLs. Chrome will open FTP links in Finder to download FTP files. FTP URLs do work on Firefox browser.
Added configuration for dev and cloud deployments - smoke tests help with this
It's possible to run GitLab pipelines on dev machine in the same way as they run on Cloud deployments. See https://github.com/mdubourg001/glci - will explore this in future
Looked Ken's PR - show link preview: need to retrieve external link from a dataset. Need to fetch this data in question using guzzle.

PR 550 - added external link and type. Retrieved attributes from test database and add client to function - problem is don't know what information is stored in array
DOI project - optimized Dockerfile by replacing Ubuntu image with jdk-8 alpine image. Problem is python is required in startup script to expose system file path.

What is the next step of sprint planning - look at scrum 101 document - wait for Rija to add project plan stories to the product backlog (raw, just the story title). Then perform poker planning on infrastructure plan.
