Right. 17:32:18 <pnutzh4x0r> my current task is to investigate if there are any plans on porting opencv to python3 17:32:39 <pnutzh4x0r> stoney and joanie are working with the students on the gtk parts 17:32:54 <heidie> We had an IRC meeting yesterday and Joanie is also helping push this project along. 17:32:56 <heidie> :-) 17:33:48 <heidie> Anything else on MouseTrap? 17:34:30 <pnutzh4x0r> nope, i think that's it 17:34:39 <heidie> On to ushahidi? 17:35:12 <heidie> KBellam: Are you working on Ushahidi? 17:35:24 <heidie> WHo else? 17:35:34 <heidie> monisha, are you working on Ushahidi? 17:35:39 <kwurst> I am 17:35:54 <monisha> i think right now it's cam, karl, sam and i 17:35:56 <heidie> Want to fill us in? 17:36:20 <kwurst> Cam, Monisha and I joined the Ushahidi Developer call last night. 17:36:23 <monisha> I couldn't be at the Ushahidi chat last week since I was in another meeting at the same time 17:36:45 <ghislop> #link http://www.foss2serve.org/index.php/Ushahidi 17:37:10 <monisha> I've been lurking not the Ushahidi Community Skype chat most days and made contact with a couple of people 17:37:31 <heidie> Good! 17:37:44 <monisha> Last night's Developer voice chat was interesting 17:38:10 <kwurst> I'm finding Skype meetings to be strange. I'm too used to IRC at this point... 17:38:35 <monisha> I use Skype all the time for meetings so it works for me … :-) 17:39:41 <heidie> :-) 17:39:41 <kwurst> I also need to get another headset with mike - my son was using mine, so I couldn't speak on the chat last night. 17:39:58 <monisha> I'm working on my assignments and project for the fall and trying to figure out how to incorporate all the foss stuff 17:40:02 <heidie> Ah, right. Resource contention! 17:40:16 <heidie> Are you developing materials jointly? 17:40:38 * kwurst needs to go AFK for a minute - it's starting to rain and I have clothes out drying... 17:40:39 <monisha> not yet for my classes 17:41:00 <monisha> there's been some discussion by some of the others 17:41:42 <monisha> i'm planning on a different approach from the others and need to think this through 17:41:52 <monisha> Cam has been very helpful 17:42:16 <heidie> OK, that's fine. 17:42:29 <heidie> It looks like you're making good progress. 17:42:47 <heidie> camm, anything to add on ushahidi? 17:42:48 <monisha> I'm not yet ready to start bouncing ideas 17:42:55 <heidie> :-) That's fine. 17:43:54 * kwurst is back 17:45:12 <heidie> Anything else on Ushahidi? 17:45:50 <monisha> not from me 17:45:53 <heidie> OK 17:46:01 <kwurst> I did chat a bit with Heather from Ushahidi after the meeting, told her about my class, and she said she would add me to the dev channel. 17:46:01 <heidie> Lets talk about stipends. 17:46:09 <heidie> ah, good! 17:46:43 <lorip> change of topic? 17:46:50 <heidie> Sure. 17:47:06 <heidie> #topic Extended Team Instructor Support 17:47:55 <heidie> We had talked about stipends for POSSE participants to develop course materials. 17:48:45 <heidie> The OpenFE team has defined what that support should cover as well as some guidelines. 17:48:53 <heidie> #link http://www.foss2serve.org/index.php/Extended_Team_Instructor_Support 17:49:06 <heidie> This document describes what sorts of things we're looking for. 17:49:21 <heidie> (And now that I look at it, we don't tell you how to submit! :-) ) 17:49:51 <heidie> To give you some guidance on what such a proposal looks like, Sam has submitted one. 17:49:53 <heidie> #link http://www.foss2serve.org/index.php/RebelskyProposal 17:50:15 <lorip> should people create a wiki page for their proposals (like Sam did)? 17:50:23 <heidie> We accepted this proposal for funding at the full $3,000 rate and asked Sam to make three minor modifications. 17:50:28 <heidie> Yes, wiki pages would be best. 17:51:01 <heidie> The modifications were: 1) Clarify the role of his students, 2) clarify the exact number of assignments, and 3) clarify what sort of evaluation he would use. 17:51:03 <ghislop_afk> So the "how to submit" is create a wiki page and ping the foss2serve team... :-) 17:51:08 <heidie> :-) 17:51:39 <ghislop> Everyone should feel free to discuss ideas with us informally too 17:51:54 <heidie> And you don't need to take on as much as Sam is proposing. 17:52:10 * kwurst_ was disconnected by the storm... 17:52:16 <heidie> Simply coming up with an assignment or two would be fundable, allbeit at a smaller rate. 17:52:26 <heidie> kwurst: What storm? We've got sun! 17:52:29 <ghislop> Any questions on the stipend option? 17:53:08 <ghislop> kwurst we've been having storms rolling through here for a while too... 17:53:40 <becka> Is there a time you need proposals by? 17:53:43 <heidie> In essence, if you're developing course materials in your groups to incorporate HFOSS, the stipend would support that development. 17:54:11 <ghislop> becka: no deadline. we'll do this on a rolling basis 17:55:06 <becka> ghislop: excellent. I will be redeveloping my winter OSS course based on POSSE experience 17:55:11 <heidie> There are funds to support at least 10 instructors per year with a "new year" starting in the fall. 17:56:12 <heidie> Any other questions on this? 17:57:06 <monisha> i may have a couple but those may be better offline 17:57:31 <ghislop> monisha: sure! ping one of us when you want to talk 17:57:53 <monisha> sounds good thanks! 17:58:37 <heidie> Anything else? 18:00:06 <monisha> nothing more from me 18:00:19 <ghislop> time to end this meeting? 18:00:21 <heidie> OK, as it 2:00, I'm going to end the meeting. 18:00:25 <heidie> #endmeeting
