Vantrax^.^00:06
Vantraxwe need to get some momentum going again00:07
Vantraxbodhi is it possible to set up sftp on your test server, its just easier as im doing the theme dev from a windows box00:07
* pleia2 waves to jamesrfla 00:17
jamesrflaHi pleia200:17
jamesrflaso we have a meeting in about 10min?00:50
cprofittVantrax, what did you think of the courses uploaded? Do we need to make another to guide people on how to make courses?00:53
pleia2jamesrfla: yep00:53
Vantraxthey looked pretty good00:53
Vantraxwe just need to sort out our structure00:53
cprofitt'our structure'?00:54
Vantraxand work out how we want to manage the four programs00:54
cprofittmeaning team structure?00:54
cprofittor course structure?00:54
Vantraxcourse00:54
Vantraxwe need to do team too, that is a focus of this meeting unless im just crazy00:54
cprofittk00:55
cprofittI think courses may have a different structure depending on the 'type'00:55
Vantraxvery likely00:55
cprofittthe method of delivery and the content may require a different pedagogic structure to be successful00:55
Vantraxif its a background infromation one, done as self paced it will be very different to something with instructor support00:56
cprofittpleia2, meeting in here or in #ubuntu-meeting?00:56
pleia2well, nothing else is going on in #ubuntu-meeting00:56
cprofittVantrax, it also depends on the depth of the material00:56
Vantraxalso it seems that moodle doesnt really allow courses to be grouped into programs00:56
Vantraxyep00:56
cprofittVantrax, not sure I follow you on program groupings...00:57
Vantraxfair enough00:57
Vantraxif you look at the list of topics in the programs pages on the wiki there are alot of suggestions00:57
Vantraxmany of those group into what i would think of as a course covering similar topics00:58
Vantraxthe total of the courses under each page would be part of a program with that target00:58
Vantraxtarget being the intention of the program to provide training to a particular target group00:58
Vantraxdoes that make any sense?00:59
Vantrax<- baby due in 10 weeks, not sleeping quite right00:59
* jamesrfla is glad that I am 16 and still a student01:00
bodhizazenmeeting where ?01:00
jamesrflabodhizazen: #ubutu-meeting01:00
jamesrflaI mean #ubuntu-meeting01:00
thewrathhey all01:12
thewrathim int eh meeting but i have to run to the store01:13
jamesrflaokay01:13
pleia2I am going to be honest guys, I really don't know enough about this subject to have an informed opinion01:14
jamesrflayeah what is going on in #ubuntu-meeting right now I have no clue what is going on01:15
pleia2licensing is a complicated subject01:15
jamesrflaI am reading it but my guess is cprofitt and bodhizazen are arguing over some server privacy/property thing01:16
jamesrflaalso Vantrax01:16
Vantraxlol01:27
Vantraxits a rather involved discussion we have had for weeks:P01:28
Vantraxbasically we have source materials that have a non commercial lisence, but the ubuntu community uses cc-by-sa and you cant mix the two01:28
mogainHellow pleia2 and gang01:39
mogainThis is doctormo, my computer had died01:39
pleia2mogain: #ubuntu-meeting01:39
mogainThis is my netbook ;-(01:39
pleia2aww01:39
Vantraxahh01:44
Vantraxsorry mo, you missed your licensing discussion, but its going to hit up the mailing list01:45
mogainpleia2: Was there a thing about CC yet?01:45
mogainah ok thanks01:45
Vantraxno decisions made, bodhi will send out an email to set the tone, and lay some ground rules01:45
mogainI would have preferred Vantrax or pleia2 send the email, oh well. ground rules will be about social conduct I have no doubt01:46
pleia2I don't know enough about the issue, honestly01:47
Vantraxyes:P01:49
Vantraxmogain: it will be fine01:50
Vantraxwe talked about the ground rules in the meeting already01:50
mogainsounds ominous01:50
mogainI'll have to check out the logs01:51
=== mogain is now known as doctormo
Vantraxokies02:07

bodhizazenthis is IMO a critical time for the team02:09
Vantraxbodhizazen: can you set up sftp on your test server please02:09
cprofitt+1 bodhizazen02:09
bodhizazenand so I propose frequent meetings02:09

pleia2oh, does someone know where mootbot spits the minutes?02:11
dthackerwhere can we get login info to see courses cprofitt has uploaded?02:11
bodhizazenMeeting same time next week ?02:11
doctormoWhat is this windows people keep on going on about?02:11
Vantraxwe will have to give you some help02:11
jamesrflasorry I was a bit confused in the beginning when you guys were talking about something with a server and who owns what. I was trying to finish up getting a Ubuntu server working with mailman, postfix, and apache202:11
Vantraxdthacker: you can login with openid on learn.ufbt.net02:11
pleia2bodhizazen: I'll try to decide by tomorrow, I need to touch base with greg-g about when he's available and hopefully make it easier for -eu people (dougie richardson for instance)02:11
Vantraxjust use http://launchpad...../~<username> as your string02:12
Vantraxpleia2: we might just do them in different times02:12
Vantraxso one week is easier for EU, and one week its easier for US02:12
pleia2Vantrax: sure, but we want greg-g at this next meeting, and it'd be nice to have a doc person too :)02:12
Vantraxyes02:12
Vantraxill poke dougie and rocket too02:13
pleia2on the list dougie said 2 hours earlier would be ok02:13
bodhizazenOK02:13
Vantraxid also like an MOTU there02:13
pleia2I think greg-g was simply not around today02:13
bodhizazenthe other thing we can do -02:13
bodhizazen"focus groups"02:13
Vantraxsince the MOTU used to have a school..02:13
bodhizazenie specific groups to work on specific issues and report back02:14
Vantraxbodhizazen: i dont think they are needed as such02:14
doctormoI appologise for being so late guys, :-( at least my laptop is now booting afterr some technical fixing.02:14
pleia2their classroom sessions are "motu school"02:14
bodhizazenVantrax: I doubt that02:14
pleia2doctormo: broken computers :(02:14
Vantraxwe already had teams outlined for different areas in the strategy document02:14
Vantraxi think we need to add testers into that tho02:14
bodhizazenwe will likely need an "approval" team02:15
bodhizazenetc ...02:15
doctormotnwop47Q02:15
* dthacker needs to track down his openid02:15
bodhizazenand down the line02:15
doctormodamn keyboard ;-) at least I just spewed my tester password02:15
pleia2lol02:15
bodhizazenbbl :)02:15
* dthacker looks away, as all good sysadmin's should02:16
Vantraxlol02:16
Vantraxwhat password:P02:16
doctormolol02:17
Vantraxbrb02:17
cprofittdthacker, I think you can create an account...02:19
cprofittand we can then get you the access to the courses...02:20
Vantraxmore or less02:27
Vantraxcprofitt: does moodle allow proper groups to be created, so rather than having a list of administrators on the course, have just administrators group02:27
cprofittI believe so...02:28
cprofittI think they already have groups...02:28
cprofittadmin - instructor - student02:28
Vantraxyeah, we need to look into that02:36
cprofittI can try to review the site tonight...02:39
cprofittbut I am fairly confident they have groups...02:39
cprofittI think your concern is if we can make groups02:39
thewrathwat license did we agree on02:40
thewrathsorry iw ent to the store and stopped by the fire hall and didnt think it would take that long02:40
cprofittthewrath, the current license agreed on is CC-BY-SA02:40
cprofittthough the issue of discussing it is not over.02:40
thewrathso it will not change then cprofitt?02:40
thewrathah02:40
thewrathwhat are the other ones that were in heavy discussion02:40
cprofittCC-BY-SA-NC02:45
cprofittand there are several issues with using NC02:45
cprofittand there is also the issue of 'ownership' of courses authored02:45
cprofittthat bodhi brought up02:46
