   3. still catching up on most of the phase 1 activities, going to focus on outlining the course activity (pnutzh4x0r, 15:07:15)
   4. I have begun to formulate a plan to teach FOSS just from the activities we have done so far. I am through the bugs activity (beckam, 15:07:46)
   5. preparing Ushahidi activities for the Ushahidi group (camm, 15:09:25)
   6. (monisha) I'm done with most activities but need to firm up course planning related items. (stoney, 15:09:55)
   7. I'm done with most activities but need to firm up course planning related items. (monisha, 15:10:04)
   8. I'm most of the way through the stage 1 activities. I still have to (a) check out a bug tracking system (part C), do the formal evaluation of my project of choice (part B), and do the anatomy stuff (part A). The formal evaluation seems the most time consuming, and I know a lot about FOSS already, so I'm leaving anatomy until last. I'm almost certainly set on Ushahidi and SwiftRiver. I've sketched two assignments (two different classes) (rebelsky, 15:10:27)
   9. completed FOSS field trip, had fun with blogging, not as much of a fan of wikis but will try to remember to put some updates there. Need to look at possible course planning activities and project evaluation activities. Need to do the Part C activities (nannette, 15:12:08)
