| charlie-tca | team calendar is on google now | 18:40 |
| knome | charlie-tca, did you set up a 5-a-day xubuntu team? | 18:40 |
| knome | charlie-tca, link? | 18:40 |
| charlie-tca | let me find it. | 18:40 |
| knome | JPohlmann, have you "filed bugs against packages in xfce to indicate out-of-date documentation"? | 18:41 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think we can set up a 5-a-day team after reading all the information. I think we have to do it as individuals and loco's instead | 18:41 |
| knome | charlie-tca, right. | 18:41 |
| knome | do we agree on this? :) | 18:42 |
| JPohlmann | knome: Uh, no. | 18:42 |
| charlie-tca | Here is the google calendare link: | 18:42 |

| charlie-tca | I think? | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | wheeee | 18:42 |
| j1mc | they have modified how 5-a-day is done. they did it just before the global bug jam. it is more integrated into launchpad now. | 18:43 |
| j1mc | hi TheSheep | 18:43 |

| j1mc | it's still a work-in-progress | 18:43 |
| TheSheep | "The one time calendar access transfer key is invalid" | 18:44 |
| * charlie-tca thinks "a bit?"! | 18:44 | |
| knome | should we try to create the xubuntu group or try to get people working with their loco's? | 18:44 |
| j1mc | i don't even really know the status of it now. | 18:44 |
| knome | TheSheep, d'oh | 18:44 |
| TheSheep | you need to copy the other link | 18:44 |
| knome | TheSheep, works for me. | 18:44 |
| TheSheep | not the 'one time' one | 18:44 |
| charlie-tca | knome: delay it for now, until they get 5-a-day working again | 18:44 |

| charlie-tca | who is packaging? mr_pouit ? | 18:48 |
| knome | cody, ncommander maybe, mr_pouit | 18:48 |
| knome | There's a lot of reporting from last month, but none yet from April. | 18:48 |
| knome | ah, there is some. | 18:49 |
| knome | it's mainly cody done some things. | 18:49 |

| knome | any discussion about team updates? | 18:50 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 18:50 |
| nhandler | I would just like to say that for karmic, I hope to be able to help out with packaging for xubuntu | 18:50 |
| charlie-tca | The next two mondays are ISO testing days | 18:50 |
| knome | [ACTION] Next two mondays are ISO testing days. | 18:51 |
| MootBot | ACTION received: Next two mondays are ISO testing days. | 18:51 |
| charlie-tca | Since we release the RC on April 16 and Final on April 23, we need them tested | 18:51 |
| JPohlmann | I remember Cody was hoping to get Xfce 4.6.1 into jaunty. | 18:51 |
| charlie-tca | On Mondays, we smoke test as much as possible, | 18:51 |
| knome | JPohlmann, me too. | 18:51 |
| JPohlmann | We're currently in the process of releasing it but it might take a few days. | 18:51 |
| JPohlmann | Is anyone able to tell how long packaging it would take? | 18:52 |
| knome | didn't ncommander package it the last time? | 18:53 |
| JPohlmann | Together with mr_pouit, yeah. | 18:53 |
| charlie-tca | yes, he did | 18:53 |
| JPohlmann | Though that was an update from 4.4.x to 4.6.0. 4.6.0 to 4.6.1 is a different thing but I suppose it'll take less time ;) | 18:54 |
| j1mc | right | 18:54 |
| j1mc | JPohlmann: Jérôme Guelfucci is making good use of identi.ca in providing updates about xfce progress. I picked up his release of Gigolo 0.3 from there. | 18:55 |
| knome | right.. anything else about the team reports? | 18:56 |
| j1mc | any other packaging updates? | 18:56 |
| j1mc | for documentation, i'm importing the translations. | 18:57 |
| JPohlmann | j1mc: I read your mail about ident.ca. The way I see it it's just a matter of which channel to use in order to push information about updates out to the world. It doesn't really matter whether it's identi.ca, a mailing list or a weblog. | 18:57 |
| knome | j1mc, from where? | 18:57 |
| knome | lp? | 18:57 |
| j1mc | JPohlmann: to some extent, yes, but there are some people who may only find out about somehting like that through just one of those channels. | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | I am compiling a list of Jaunty critical bugs for Xubuntu that will be posted to the wiki | 18:58 |
| j1mc | knome: rosetta / launchpad. matthew east and Adi Roiban are helping me. | 18:58 |
| JPohlmann | j1mc: True. Therefor we have official channels like the xfce-announce and xfce mailinglist. | 18:59 |
| JPohlmann | But it's nice if someone takes care of another well-known one. We can't support everything obviously ;) | 18:59 |
| j1mc | JPohlmann: right. i certainly don't see identi.ca updates as a "must have," just a "nice to have" | 18:59 |
| knome | j1mc, charlie-tca: i updated the team report for you. | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | thanks | 19:00 |
| knome | any other updates or discussions? | 19:00 |
| j1mc | knome: yes | 19:00 |
| knome | go on :) | 19:00 |
| j1mc | are we just doing team reports stuff about current status, or are we also discussing other plans? | 19:01 |
| SiDi | jlmc whats the latest deadline for doc translations ? | 19:01 |
| j1mc | SiDi: they should be in now, but because we are in universe, mdke says we're ok. | 19:01 |
| j1mc | i'll get them in this weekend. | 19:02 |
| knome | j1mc, there is an agenda item for things relevant to finalizing 9.04 | 19:02 |
| SiDi | j1mc, ok, thanks, cause we're a bit late with french doc | 19:02 |
| j1mc | knome: ok, let's move on then. | 19:02 |
| j1mc | SiDi: hurry. :) | 19:02 |

| knome | i think the mail you sent was great. | 19:06 |

| knome | well, we have to think about it | 19:09 |
| knome | shall we have a meeting about openweek later on? | 19:09 |
| charlie-tca | We have exactly two weeks | 19:09 |
| knome | yeah. | 19:09 |
| knome | next friday? | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | If we are going to do that, should we grab the slot on thur right after training | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | ? | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | Should be lots of people around then | 19:10 |

| j1mc | knome: that will have to be remedied. :) | 19:17 |
| knome | we have items to cover | 19:17 |

| JPohlmann | The main problem might be to find a suitable wiki system that supports generating nice offline documentation. | 19:33 |
| knome | sorry guys, but let's leave open discussion for the end and get forward in the agenda, shall we? :) | 19:34 |
| j1mc | knome: sure | 19:34 |
| nhandler | JPohlmann: Why not go the other way. Aren't there docbook->moin tools? | 19:34 |
| JPohlmann | j1mc: Okay ... I guess it's best if we discuss that on the xfce4-dev mailinglist. | 19:34 |

| charlie-tca | I got lost | 19:38 |
| knome | charlie-tca, sure. but also the live cd boot menu | 19:38 |
| j1mc | i think the issue was that xubuntu had the same colored backgroupd as ubuntu during the install. | 19:39 |
| knome | charlie-tca, the usplash-like menu | 19:39 |
| j1mc | the usplash menu, too. | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | I have expanded the testing page. I will be splitting the short test into desktop/live cd and installed testing | 19:39 |
| j1mc | not sure how this will work with xubuntu being in universe. | 19:39 |
| knome | whatever the issues are, we will fix them in karmic | 19:39 |

| knome | do we need to review the items? | 19:42 |
| j1mc | The Ubuntu documentation team is pretty active lately. I'm not sure of all of the changes that we'll be making, but we should have better documentation for 9.20. | 19:42 |
| knome | 9.10 :) | 19:42 |

| charlie-tca | Please! | 19:47 |
| knome | ok | 19:48 |
| j1mc | charlie-tca: will do. | 19:48 |
| knome | i think we should leave the karmic artwork brainstorm for later. | 19:48 |
| j1mc | knome: sounds good | 19:48 |
| knome | at least to some time cody is available | 19:49 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, by the way, I want to try shipping Xubuntu 9.04 cd's in north america. | 19:49 |
| charlie-tca | This is on my own, out of my own pocket. | 19:49 |
| knome | right. | 19:49 |
| j1mc | wow | 19:49 |
| knome | that would be great. | 19:49 |
| knome | i think we need to discuss that more widely. | 19:49 |
| charlie-tca | Start with North America until I can deal with customs | 19:49 |
| knome | i am willing to ship xubuntu cd's as well. | 19:49 |
| knome | charlie-tca, let's put that into the next community meeting agenda | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | Great, knome | 19:50 |
| knome | we definitely need cody's opinion | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | Well, we start shipping in a couple of weeks. | 19:50 |
| knome | "we" ? | 19:50 |
| knome | :) | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu | 19:50 |
| knome | w00t? | 19:51 |
| knome | via what | 19:51 |
| SiDi | I think charlie-tca means we should have an agreement on this before 23 | 19:51 |
| SiDi | so we can be ready to ship xubuntu at the same time than ubuntu and kubuntu | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you, SiDi | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | And if anyone requests it, we should be able to send out the cd | 19:52 |
| knome | oh right. | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | No bulk shipments, one per address | 19:52 |
| knome | then let's discuss about it at the meeting with open week stuff | 19:52 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Name of Project | 22:05 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC] Overview | 22:05 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Overview | 22:05 |
| Vantrax | Our intention is to create an interactive learning environment to support new users becoming more engaged in the Ubuntu community. Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into contributing members of the community. | 22:05 |
| Vantrax | We plan to do this by using moodle to coordinate all the various methods currently being used to teach with all the different teams currently engaged in various sorts of training | 22:06 |
| Vantrax | The intention of this program is to avoid competition with the existing official training program. This training will cover some similar process but will not have any accreditation or certification associated with it, and may act as a feeder into the official components. The information contained is intended to suplement the work already being done by several groups in IRC training to make their programs easier to find, and easier to take. | 22:06 |
| Vantrax | [TOPIC] Name of Project | 22:07 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC] Name of Project | 22:07 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Name of Project | 22:07 |
| Vantrax | First bit off the line, we have to name what the project is going to be. The suggestions from community and canonical staff have been to include community and training or education. We are also currently petitioning to use the Ubuntu name and expect that it is likely to be granted | 22:08 |
| Vantrax | Aside from Ubuntu Community Training, and Ubuntu Community Education are there any other suggestions that people would like considered | 22:09 |

| MootBot | IDEA received: Ubuntu Community Learning (JoshuaRL) | 22:10 |
| Vantrax | Other suggestions? | 22:10 |
| pleia2 | I worry about "Community Training" because it's so similar to the official stuff, and in every instance the official canonical training folks will have the "training" name already | 22:11 |
| JoshuaRL | pleia2: +1 | 22:12 |
| Vantrax | Jono actually preferred that one because it was similar, but clearly community based and not official. | 22:12 |
| cprofitt | I prefer education myself... but learning is good. | 22:12 |
| tim_sharitt | IMO, something with education or learning is more inviting to casual users and new users | 22:12 |
| forestpixie | +1 | 22:12 |
| cprofitt | I emailed Jono about the difference between Education and Training, but have not received a response yet | 22:12 |
| tim_sharitt | training sounds too formal | 22:13 |
| pleia2 | Vantrax: well, thus far the canonical training folks have launchpad and mailing lists called "ubuntu training" or somesuch | 22:13 |
| cprofitt | yes, training sounds like something will be done to you... | 22:13 |
| cprofitt | and we plan on some self-paced learning | 22:13 |
| Vantrax | Personally I am partital to Education | 22:13 |
| pleia2 | I like Education | 22:13 |
| cprofitt | does anyone want the differences as I laid them out? | 22:14 |
| tim_sharitt | +1 for education | 22:14 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: sure :) | 22:14 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: go ahead | 22:14 |
| cprofitt | ok... | 22:14 |
| cprofitt | the education, instruction, or discipline of a person or thing that is being trained | 22:15 |
| cprofitt | the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life | 22:15 |
| cprofitt | the first is training | 22:15 |
| cprofitt | the second is education | 22:15 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: got learning available? | 22:16 |
| cprofitt | not handy | 22:16 |
| cprofitt | but can look it up | 22:16 |
| cprofitt | the act or process of acquiring knowledge or skill. | 22:16 |
| JoshuaRL | knowledge acquired by systematic study in any field of scholarly application. | 22:17 |
| JoshuaRL | oops, missed yours :) | 22:17 |
| cprofitt | I like Education because it can be self-paced or instructor lead | 22:17 |
| Vantrax | Im still partial to Education looking at the definitions, everyone happy with that, or would you like to vote? | 22:17 |

| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Use of the Ubuntu name | 22:22 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Use of the Ubuntu name | 22:22 |
| Vantrax | As before, any use of the Ubuntu name has to be approved by the branding/copyright group. A formal request has been made and is expected to be approved based on support from the Official Ubuntu training team leaders, community manager, and sadbfl | 22:23 |
| Vantrax | Just a little status update on that side of things | 22:23 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Training/Education focus | 22:24 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Training/Education focus | 22:24 |
| Vantrax | cprofitt: mind if we do Integrating with the community first? | 22:24 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Integrating with the community | 22:24 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Integrating with the community | 22:24 |
| Vantrax | This has been an area of consern in planning this project, many groups in the community are already doing training. | 22:25 |
| Vantrax | The plan is that a new launchpad team and mailing list will be created including the representatives for the training program (currently dubbed Ubuntu Community Education) to make it a new entity that is a collaberation of teams, not the property of existing teams (ie Its not a Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team or a Classroom project). | 22:26 |
| Vantrax | Does anyone have any comments or suggestions in regard to this side of things | 22:26 |
| nhandler | I would like to see a few different teams created | 22:26 |
| pleia2 | what kinds of things would be discussed there that wouldn't be on existing lists? | 22:26 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| nhandler | For instance, a team for people interested in forum education, motu education, wiki education, etc. You would then have a parent team which has these smaller teams as members | 22:27 |
| pleia2 | I'd rather not see a bunch of half-dead lists be created for specific things when discussions on all of them could be useful for everyone involved | 22:27 |
| Vantrax | pleia2: the idea is more that there are not several lists | 22:27 |
| cprofitt | I just want to state that the focus is to augment existing training... not replace it. We want to increase the use of IRC #classroom and have more people become involved with MOTU, Documentation, etc... | 22:27 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: most of these teams have lists already that serve this function isnt it? | 22:27 |
| JoshuaRL | nhandler: that could easily be handled within each respective team, if they decide they need it | 22:28 |
| nhandler | Vantrax: There aren't specific teams/lists for the education element of these teams | 22:28 |
| Vantrax | The idea is to provide a better method for training to tie the community training together | 22:28 |
| pleia2 | yeah, currently motu, bugs, etc discuss thing within their own teams, since everyone in their team can contribute | 22:28 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax, I would think that the other teams would be fine on their own internal lists still... but the new group would allow for a common list to be shared for the areas that cross | 22:28 |
| nhandler | For instance, we have a MOTU School, but no MOTU School list/team | 22:28 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: i see what you meen now | 22:28 |
| cprofitt | I would think those teams have internal issues that do not need to be discussed in the context of education | 22:28 |
| cprofitt | so the new group would provide a shared 'education' list | 22:29 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: I would tend to assume it would be up to each contributing area to decide if they need a group/mailing list for this | 22:29 |
| cprofitt | and only focus on the education piece for all included teams | 22:29 |
| pleia2 | I don't think we want to insist upon groups having a "motu school team/list" the reason they discuss this on their main lists is because they want to, and it attracts attention from everyone in their teams instead of segregating it | 22:29 |
| JoshuaRL | Vantrax: +1. this should just be a parent group | 22:29 |
| Vantrax | such as the Beginners Team has done with its Education Focus Group | 22:29 |
| cprofitt | pleia2, I agree... | 22:29 |
| cprofitt | I think vantrax's idea was to create one combined EDU list | 22:30 |
| nhandler | pleia2: I am not saying we need separate lists, I just think creating sub-teams of this new education team would be a good idea | 22:30 |
| JoshuaRL | pleia2: +1 | 22:30 |
| Vantrax | The idea of the list is that everyone has a central point for edu related info | 22:30 |
| cprofitt | so that teams could discuss education together in a combined place | 22:30 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: I fail to use the usefulness | 22:30 |
| Vantrax | or to seek help on setting up a course on the moodle installation | 22:30 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Organization. You could see who is interested in certain types of lessons. You could then have different people in charge of coordinating those lessons | 22:30 |
| cprofitt | 0/ | 22:31 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: I think it adds complexity and requirements upon teams doing lessons | 22:31 |
| pleia2 | I think we want to make it easy for them :) | 22:31 |
| cprofitt | pleia2, would you have education issues cross posted on the regular team lists? | 22:31 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: yeah, then more people see it and perhaps someone who didn't know about it could toss in their info, wider audiences are generally good | 22:32 |
| pleia2 | putting education stuff in its own corner tends to cause things to die off | 22:32 |
| cprofitt | would it be good to have one 'uber' list plus cross posting? or just all cross posting? | 22:32 |
| cprofitt | I see two sides... keeping people involved and the 'logs' of the list... one 'education' list would make it easy to find education posts... | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | uber list plus cross posting | 22:33 |
| cprofitt | cool... I think I like that idea... | 22:33 |
| nhandler | Having an uber list would also make it easy for people to contact the people in charge of the lessons | 22:33 |
| JoshuaRL | pleia2: +1 | 22:33 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax? | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | like currently with classroom a couple of us are on main ubuntu lists, read planet and news, and when we see a lesson we post about it to -classroom, we encourage teams doing classes to publicise them with classroom, but they're cross posted elsewhere too | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: agreed | 22:34 |
| cprofitt | so do we need a new team or just a mailing list to accomplish that? | 22:34 |
| Vantrax | Im just thinking how easy is this going to be for a new user looking for information | 22:34 |
| forestpixie | probably easier than looking all over the place | 22:35 |
| nhandler | cprofitt: If you are making the list through Launchpad, you need a team | 22:35 |
| pleia2 | Vantrax: me too, I fear that having too many subteams would be confusing (and if one is dead and the rest are busy? they get a false impression of the project if they join that dead one...) | 22:35 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax, I think the mix of Uber list and cross posting should solve the issue of finding things... but also pollinate the existing groups | 22:35 |
| Vantrax | I think we should have an LP team related to the organisational side of this, for people contributing materials or helping coordinate | 22:35 |
| cprofitt | k... | 22:35 |
| forestpixie | +1 | 22:35 |
| forestpixie | although we could use the one we already have couldn't we | 22:36 |
| Vantrax | I think we should also have a mailing list for information on training, and sublist for each area that are crossposted | 22:36 |
| Vantrax | forestpixie: the idea is for another group not related to an existing group | 22:36 |
| pleia2 | it's the sublist I have trouble with | 22:36 |
| nhandler | Vantrax: That is what my idea about the subteams was partially about | 22:36 |
| nhandler | However, I don't think the sublists are needed | 22:37 |
| Vantrax | ok, subteams but not sublists? | 22:37 |
| nhandler | Yes | 22:37 |
| pleia2 | I don't think subteamsare needed either | 22:37 |
| nhandler | That would keep things organized | 22:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | o/ | 22:37 |
| nhandler | pleia2: Why? If I am only interested in doing a certain type of session, you don't think that matters | 22:37 |
| Vantrax | pleia2: I agree, but I can see the use on the organisational side | 22:37 |
| Vantrax | go Rocket2DMn | 22:37 |
| JoshuaRL | o/ 2 | 22:37 |
| cprofitt | Rocket2DMn, | 22:37 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: subteams are essentially already handled by the projects themselves, asking them to join these seems excessive | 22:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | I've been following some of this discussion, it's become apparent that sublists definitely dont work, we saw this on the BT | 22:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | re: Subteams, who would actually be ON the subteams? | 22:38 |
| cprofitt | +1 Rocket2DMn | 22:38 |
| Vantrax | Rocket2DMn: I think were past sublists | 22:38 |
| tim_sharitt | I don't think we need subteams/sublists right now unless we see that are actually needed in the future | 22:38 |
| pleia2 | tim_sharitt: +1 | 22:38 |
| cprofitt | Lets vote on this... | 22:38 |
| forestpixie | +1 tim_sharitt | 22:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | a "subteam" is more of a reference to a completely other ubuntu team | 22:38 |
| JoshuaRL | i think that we should use one list, and one team. if the traffic and the work gets exessive, then we can make them | 22:38 |
| Vantrax | Id leave it as an option if we expand too rapidly, but for the moment the scale is a little small | 22:38 |

| MootBot | New Topic: Training/Education focus | 22:42 |
| nhandler | jpds: Those darn edubuntu people ;) | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | oh, edubuntu? | 22:42 |
| cprofitt | we can be ubuntu-community-education | 22:42 |
| jpds | nhandler: I'd have to check policy for non-LoCo mailing lists first. | 22:42 |
| Vantrax | we will work something out:P | 22:42 |
| nhandler | jpds: I'll talk with the brainstorm people. I know they recently moved from launchpad to lists.ubuntu.com | 22:43 |
| Vantrax | To start with its been suggest that we start with three basic streems of courses. | 22:43 |
| Vantrax | One aimed at new users to learn the basics of how Ubuntu works and how to work with your system. | 22:43 |
| Vantrax | a more sysadmin based stream to learn how to administrate Ubuntu system for business and educational environments. | 22:44 |
| Vantrax | lastly a contributor stream that focuses on learning how to contribute to the development of Ubuntu | 22:44 |
| Vantrax | New User Sample Course Ideas: | 22:45 |
| Vantrax | Learn about the terminal, how installing applications and repositories work, filling in a bug reports, modifying your desktop and theming, Root and Sudo, Partitioning and fstab, how to use IRC, how to use the Ubuntu Wiki, how to use Launchpad (Bugs and Answers), Linux file permissions, and the linux file system hiarchy. | 22:45 |
| cprofitt | I would like to suggest another stream - an Trainer stream -- a course to help people who want to be trainers | 22:45 |
| Vantrax | SysAdmin Sample Course Ideas: | 22:45 |
| Vantrax | Basic Security Practices, Apparmor and Iptables, Networked logins using pam modules, locking down the gnome desktop, mantaining large scale SOE deployments (cssh and rc.local), automating remote backups, and Ubuntu SOE development. | 22:45 |
| cprofitt | I think it is critical that we be able to 'grow' people as trainers | 22:45 |
| forestpixie | +1 | 22:45 |
| Vantrax | Contributor Sample Course Ideas: | 22:46 |
| Vantrax | Python Programming, how to use bzr, how to build a package, Introduction to Kernel Compiling, Introduction to Compiling, How to Triage Bugs, introduction to Launchpad Translations, | 22:46 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: that would be covered in the contributor stream right? | 22:46 |
| cprofitt | perhaps, but not by what Vantrax just posted... | 22:46 |
| Vantrax | Now there are also options for a security stream looked at as well focusing more on advanced security practices, encryption, intrustion detection, and penetration testing (nubuntu style). This however is out of scope initially due to its complex nature. | 22:46 |
| nhandler | Vantrax: Have you talked with james_w yet? He is currently the Dean of the MOTU School | 22:46 |
| Vantrax | not yet, hence why I was askin you if anyone else from MOTU should be here:P | 22:47 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax, pleia2 what are your thoughts on developing the instructors? | 22:47 |
| * nhandler doesn't remember being asked that | 22:47 | |
| Vantrax | As said, these are just samples for discussion to get an idea | 22:47 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: no comments, good idea | 22:47 |
| nhandler | cprofitt: I think those types of sessions would be great to give, especially before an Open Week or Dev Week | 22:47 |
| Vantrax | cprofitt: good idea | 22:47 |
| cprofitt | I just can not see us growing the offerings unless we ensure people are ready to be instructors | 22:48 |
| cprofitt | so it seems to be central to the success of the project | 22:48 |
| Vantrax | I would defineately agree | 22:48 |
| Vantrax | gah, horrible spelling | 22:49 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: but maybe it could be in the contributor stream. stickeyed, so to speak, but it makes sense for it to be there. | 22:49 |
| cprofitt | I do not think this needs a vote... we need to flesh that out and work with the stakeholders | 22:49 |
| Vantrax | JoshuaRL: I would think that would be the right spot to put it | 22:49 |
| cprofitt | which I believe brings us to our next topic | 22:49 |
| Vantrax | thats the next bit:P | 22:49 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Identifying Stakeholders | 22:49 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Identifying Stakeholders | 22:49 |
| Vantrax | So now that we have an idea who we are looking at, who are our stakeholders for this project? | 22:50 |
| nhandler | I would definitely try and get james_w involved | 22:50 |
| Vantrax | I would guess were looking at MOTU Team, Bug Squad, Beginners Team, Classroom Team, Canonical, Desktop Training, New Users Network | 22:51 |
| JoshuaRL | Rocket2DMn: documentation team should be included, right? | 22:51 |
| Vantrax | I dont think NUN is active.. | 22:51 |
| pleia2 | NUN is dead | 22:51 |
| nhandler | Vantrax: It isn't last I checked | 22:51 |
| cprofitt | MOTU Team, Bug Squad, Beginners Team, Classroom Team, Canonical, Desktop Training, Documentation -- those are the right groups? | 22:52 |
| JoshuaRL | sounds good cprofitt | 22:53 |
| Vantrax | also if anyone can supply contact leads for the education programs that would be good:P | 22:53 |

| Vantrax | okies, they have alot of material that ive seen | 22:56 |
| pleia2 | yeah, they do regular bug days that include training | 22:57 |
| pleia2 | but it's not that specific | 22:57 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Developing Online Courseware | 22:57 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Developing Online Courseware | 22:57 |
| nhandler | pleia2: The bug days aren't really training sessions | 22:57 |
| Vantrax | we should make it a little more, even if it is just on the moodle and not in IRC | 22:57 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax tells me that this topic is my ball... | 22:57 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: right, but if people ask for help on how to get started they get help | 22:57 |
| pleia2 | which is why I say it's not that specific :) | 22:57 |
| Vantrax | need to make it a little easier, and a little more specific:P | 22:58 |
| cprofitt | When it comes to Moodle there are two types of on-line courses that I am familiar with | 22:58 |
| cprofitt | instructor lead and self-paced | 22:58 |
| pleia2 | Vantrax: I dunno, I think we need to ask them how things are going and offer help if they want it ;) | 22:58 |
| Vantrax | yep, thats all im planning on with anyone | 22:58 |
| cprofitt | Instructor lead is a course that will make use of wiki material, activities in moodle, forum posts and IRC sessions | 22:59 |
| cprofitt | self-paced would involve moodle activites and wiki information that people would walk through themselve | 22:59 |
| Vantrax | Over time I would guess those resources would probably all end up in moodle (aside from forum posts and active IRC sessions) | 23:00 |
| cprofitt | on their own | 23:00 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax, I see no reason to duplicate the material that is naturally going to be in the wiki | 23:00 |
| cprofitt | inside of Moodle | 23:00 |
| cprofitt | create activities, etc for it sure... | 23:00 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: self paced would probably be a re-tooling of the instructor led info, right? | 23:00 |
| pleia2 | Vantrax: perhaps, but I think we should always be mindful of accessibility, it would be ashame to insist upon everything being in moodle and then lose that resource at some point | 23:00 |
| cprofitt | but the base information should likely stay in the wiki | 23:00 |
| pleia2 | that happened to Classroom, Classroom summaries were put on a blog, which disappeared :( | 23:01 |
| Vantrax | I tend to think that training and information are presented very differently | 23:01 |
| cprofitt | Vantrax, yes, but in a great many courses they use text books written by others | 23:01 |
| cprofitt | and the instructor guides people through the material... | 23:01 |
| Vantrax | No argument there:P | 23:01 |
| cprofitt | gives them activities to ensure they learn the knowledge and can apply it | 23:02 |
| Vantrax | More thinking for the self paced courses where it is not instructor led | 23:02 |
| cprofitt | for me the wiki is the text book | 23:02 |
| cprofitt | with self-paced the material can link to the wiki | 23:02 |
| cprofitt | and then give them exercises | 23:02 |
| cprofitt | internal to Moodle | 23:02 |
| cprofitt | I think the idea will have to be massaged as we move forward with it... | 23:02 |
| Vantrax | as with everything:P | 23:03 |
| cprofitt | but as we are not building the entire core of knowledge from the ground up we have to respect the normal location of this knowledge | 23:03 |
| Vantrax | cprofitt: +1 | 23:03 |
| cprofitt | curious on pleia2 and nhandler and Rocket2DMn - thoughts | 23:03 |
| cprofitt | JoshuaRL, ? | 23:04 |
| pleia2 | I'm good | 23:04 |
| nhandler | cprofitt: Who is going to be in charge of keeping the online stuff up-to-date? | 23:04 |
| forestpixie | that sounds right to me cprofitt | 23:04 |
| JoshuaRL | i like the idea of using existing info for the instructor led courses | 23:05 |
| cprofitt | nhandler, I would assume that the wiki would fall to any of the people who would normally do that... | 23:05 |
| tim_sharitt | sounds good cprofitt :) | 23:05 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: the stuff in moodle or wiki or? | 23:05 |
| JoshuaRL | the less duplication, the better. | 23:05 |
| cprofitt | and that instructors teaching that course would bear soem of that burden too | 23:05 |
| cprofitt | the Moodle course would be maintained just by the instructors | 23:05 |
| cprofitt | does that sound good nhandler ? | 23:05 |
| nhandler | It sounds good, we'll see if it works | 23:06 |
| cprofitt | k | 23:06 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Project Milestones | 23:06 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Project Milestones | 23:06 |
| cprofitt | back to you Vantrax | 23:06 |
| Vantrax | This is pretty simple and quick | 23:06 |
| Vantrax | Just a little breakdown of how things should go forward from here (pick it apart) | 23:07 |
| Vantrax | The information discussed here will form a project plan with the scope and aim | 23:07 |
| Vantrax | that will be posted to planet, and mailed to everyone | 23:08 |
| Vantrax | Then we get the initial deployment of moodle started and get the theme done | 23:08 |
| Vantrax | We need to create content guidelines (presentation standards and layout) | 23:08 |
| Vantrax | then moderator groups based on contributing areas | 23:08 |
| Vantrax | we need to get sample courses delivered in moodle using the standards, preferably getting the entire new user stream ready as a priority | 23:09 |
| Vantrax | Announcement to community and a call for more topics that people want covered | 23:09 |
| cprofitt | yes, and that sample can be a course on how to use Moodle as an instructor | 23:10 |
| Vantrax | more course development based on feedback with at least one streem complete | 23:10 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: nice idea | 23:10 |
| Vantrax | the of course an official launch | 23:10 |
| Vantrax | ^then | 23:10 |
| JoshuaRL | Vantrax: yeah, the new user stream should definitely be a high priority | 23:10 |
| cprofitt | Moodle also allows for you to use an existing course as a template... so we should plan on using that feature as well | 23:11 |
| nhandler | cprofitt: Does Moodle support OpenID? | 23:11 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: it does | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | nhandler, I believe we are working on that... | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | not sure if we have the config done on it though | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | bodhi is the man with the plan there | 23:11 |
| Vantrax | nope, bodhi will be working on it | 23:11 |
| nhandler | We could maybe use that along with the Launchpad API to grant certain privileges on Moodle to members of certain teams | 23:12 |
| cprofitt | Yes.. | 23:12 |
| Vantrax | nhandler: that would be a good idea | 23:12 |
| cprofitt | we will have to have admins, instructors and students | 23:12 |
| cprofitt | the instructor lead classes will need periods in which the course can be registered for | 23:12 |
| Vantrax | also probably a moderators for a stream | 23:13 |
| cprofitt | self-paced can be 100% open | 23:13 |
| cprofitt | last topic Vantrax ? | 23:13 |
| cprofitt | [TOPIC]Session feedback mechanism | 23:13 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Session feedback mechanism | 23:13 |
| Vantrax | forestpixie asked about this | 23:14 |
| forestpixie | Bodhi wanted us to look into having some sort of feedback mechanism that users can access after sessions have run - the idea at the moment being a simple poll thread on the forum. He's talking to admin (at some point) about where we should do so - but does anyone have an problem with doing it that way or any other ideas. | 23:14 |
| Vantrax | that would be my idea | 23:14 |
| nhandler | If we are creating an LP team, we could also put the poll on LP | 23:14 |
| cprofitt | I agree we will want some form of feedback... | 23:14 |
| Vantrax | have a are of the forum related to questions and feedback on a specific session | 23:14 |
| Vantrax | have an area | 23:14 |
| forestpixie | nhandler: we were looking at new threads/pols for each session that runs | 23:14 |
| nhandler | Or we could also put feedback on the wiki below the IRC logs | 23:14 |
| cprofitt | I think we need to be cautious what we ask though... and how the information is processed | 23:15 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: theres whole degrees in that sentence | 23:15 |
| forestpixie | +1 - just a simple 1-5 poll and then if people wish to post in thread they can | 23:15 |
| cprofitt | JoshuaRL, yes there are | 23:15 |
| Vantrax | in principle I agree with the idea forestpixie but it will need to be dug into a bit | 23:15 |
| pleia2 | nhandler: I like that, or failing that we use one of these other ideas and then link to the logs page so it's all accessible from one spot at least | 23:16 |
| cprofitt | forestpixie, I think we can work on the content (questions) at a later time... | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | some people have trouble with editing wikis | 23:16 |
| forestpixie | pleia2: +1 | 23:16 |
| nhandler | Because in my opinion, the comments are much more valuable than the actual rating | 23:16 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: i have a friend thats a marketing major, i could ask him for suggestions | 23:16 |
| cprofitt | We could even use forums for it if we wanted a more simple place for editing | 23:16 |
| forestpixie | sounds good JoshuaRL | 23:16 |
| cprofitt | that would expose the courses in another place as well | 23:16 |
| forestpixie | that is bodhi's thought cprofitt | 23:17 |
| cprofitt | JoshuaRL, it is less marketing... | 23:17 |
| cprofitt | and more getting useful constructive information | 23:17 |
| JoshuaRL | cprofitt: but it IS marketing, from the feedback idea. thats a big part of marketing. | 23:17 |
| cprofitt | no axe grinding, etc | 23:17 |
| cprofitt | any other ideas that anyone else has? | 23:17 |
| * cprofitt motions to close the meeting | 23:18 | |
| forestpixie | above all it needs to be simple or people won't bother | 23:18 |
| Vantrax | So the project info we discussed here will be written up then mailed out and I will post it to planet | 23:18 |
| tim_sharitt | +1 cprofitt | 23:18 |
| nhandler | Vantrax: Are the logs/minutes going to be on the wiki as well? | 23:18 |
| forestpixie | I'll put the log on the FG wiki in a minute | 23:18 |

| SiDi | (yes, you did, sorry :p) | 23:35 |

| cprofitt | thanks SiDi | 23:36 |
| SiDi | cprofitt, you're welcome | 23:36 |
| cprofitt | SiDi, I am beginning to think it did not make the logs... | 23:37 |
| cprofitt | the last line was - MootBot> Logs available at http://www.novarata.net/mootbot/ | 23:37 |
| cprofitt | and that does not look like the result they show on the wiki | 23:37 |
| SiDi | Erm.. | 23:38 |
| SiDi | i never used that bot honnestly | 23:38 |
| SiDi | i hope this isnt somethinng you forgot to do before the meeting :/ | 23:39 |
| cprofitt | have you used a different one? | 23:39 |
| cprofitt | I hope not as well... | 23:39 |
| cprofitt | nothing appears to be listed on the wiki | 23:39 |
| SiDi | nope. i just know that knome used it and we have our logs ;) | 23:39 |
