Is it possible to go back to an earlier nickname in the same session? 14:15:45 <stoney> you should be able to 14:15:53 <stoney> however, some nicks are reserved 14:16:06 <PatriciaII> Good to know. 14:16:20 <stoney> which means that someone has created a permanent nick that is password protected 14:16:33 <stoney> so maybe someone has Patricia? 14:16:54 <lorip> I think you had Patricia_ - try that 14:17:17 <stoney> right... your client may have given you Patricia with an underscore because Patricia was taken 14:17:39 <darci> But now it looks like she is away... 14:18:00 <stoney> so before we play with meetbots, what questions do you have about IRC? 14:18:06 <lorip> what does my nick look like when I go away? 14:18:24 <stoney> if you leave the channel, you just don't appear 14:18:37 <Patricia_> I am not able to get Patricia_ back either....told that is registered as well... will work on later... 14:18:37 <darci> I think it depends on the client. 14:18:48 <stoney> if you are talking about the /away command 14:18:49 <lorip> I meant marked as away, not leave the channel 14:18:51 <stoney> what darci said 14:19:09 <evas> same here - I can't get back eva1 and was never able to get eva 14:19:13 <stoney> an underscore after the name is the usual indicator for away 14:19:36 <Patricia_> But now it does look like I got it back... and it does look like I'm away! Again, homework ... 14:19:43 <stoney> evas you were never eva1 on my screen... only eva_ 14:20:03 <evas> it says already in use 14:20:17 <evas> doesn't like me :-( hahaha no worries I'll be evas 14:20:24 <stoney> Patricia_ I suspect your client is hiding the fact that there is an _ at the end of your name 14:20:48 <eva1> now it likes me :-) 14:20:50 <stoney> now you have it :) 14:21:07 * eva1 woohooing 14:21:11 <stoney> lol 14:21:16 <stoney> so meetbots? 14:21:37 <stoney> you'll notice zodbot as a member of this channel 14:21:42 <stoney> zodbot is not a human 14:21:54 <stoney> it is a program sitting on this channel 14:22:12 <stoney> it responds to lines that begin with # 14:22:29 <stoney> so at the beginning of this meeting, I used #startmeeting 14:22:42 <stoney> when zodbot saw this, it started recording this meeting 14:23:01 <stoney> it is keeping detailed minutes as well as a summary of the meeting 14:23:04 <steve1> #topic today’s weather 14:23:23 <stoney> ok... not all commands are available to everyone 14:23:34 <stoney> whoever started the meeting is the chair of the meeting 14:23:47 <stoney> some commands, like #topic, only work for a chair 14:23:55 <stoney> you can add other chairs to the meeting with #chair 14:24:14 <steve1> #chair steve1 14:24:16 <stoney> that's important to do, because only a chair can end the meeting #endmeeting 14:24:36 <stoney> the #chair command is only available to chairs :) 14:24:44 <darci> #chair steve1 14:24:44 <zodbot> Current chairs: Heidiellis darci hislopg kussmaul steve1 stoney 14:24:54 <steve1> :( 14:25:09 <stoney> at the beginning of this meeting I added darci (and several others) as chair 14:25:18 <steve1> :) 14:25:19 <stoney> that way if I get disconnected 14:25:24 <stoney> they can still run the meeting 14:25:29 <stoney> and more importantly, end it 14:25:41 <darci> And I just added steve1, 14:25:44 <stoney> now there are several commands available to everyone 14:26:00 <stoney> commands like #link, #info, and #action 14:26:13 <stoney> these elevate the line to the summary 14:26:20 <stoney> also #agree 14:26:46 <stoney> so if you want to make sure something important goes into the summary, use #info, #link, #action, or #agree 14:26:52 <stoney> for example 14:27:07 <stoney> #agree we will use #agree to mark decisions we make during the meeting 14:27:29 <stoney> feel free to try those out 14:27:46 <steve1> #info you can find more commands on http://meetbot.debian.net/Manual.html 14:27:59 <stoney> you'll see the results at the end of the meeting when the meetbot publishes the minutes and the summary to a website 14:28:09 <stoney> awesome steve1 14:28:29 <stoney> for links like that, you might try #link <url> <description> 14:28:40 <Patricia_> #info this is good information to have!

I see your nick in red on the line you called me out :-) got it! thanks for the demo 14:32:09 <stoney> it also helps to include their nick if you are directing a statement at them 14:32:22 <stoney> it helps folks follow the simultaneous conversations 14:32:32 <stoney> Patricia_ perfect :) 14:33:03 <stoney> the exact notification is client dependent, and often configurable 14:33:27 <stoney> ok... so what questions are lingering about IRC or the meetbot? 14:34:06 <Patricia_> None from me, stoney, just practice needed, which I'm sure is coming :) 14:34:24 <stoney> right :) 14:34:38 <stoney> ok... on to the next topic then 14:34:54 <stoney> #topic HFOSS projects 14:35:18 <stoney> So I think we are pretty early in the stage 1 activities 14:35:30 <stoney> darci can you help me out here 14:35:33 <stoney> ? 14:35:57 <stoney> what should folks be doing, thinking about for HFOSS projects at this point in time? 14:36:14 <darci> Sorry, I was looking for somerthing! 14:36:39 <stoney> np :) 14:36:59 <darci> Part B is where we ask participants to start thinkng abou this 14:37:09 <Patricia_> I found, in the HFOSS Communities page, three projects. (Firefox Dev Tools, Open Food Facts, and Ushahidi). Are we limited to those 3 projects for January? 14:37:39 <darci> But, I'm guessing that most have already begun thinking about how they will incorporate HFOSS into their courses...yes? 14:37:56 * stoney looks to darci hoping she can answer Patricia_ :) 14:38:08 <darci> You are not limited to those... 14:38:12 * stoney likes emotes 14:38:28 <Patricia_> Yes, darci , confirmed on thinking about 'how to' use in class. 14:38:29 <darci> We try to select a few so that we can focus effort while at the workshop 14:38:56 <darci> We sometimes form groups around projects, and sometimes form groups around courses 14:39:30 <Patricia_> Great stoney good to know ... I'll look more closely at the 3 offered, but will also see if anything else is exciting. If I see something, perhaps I'll see if I can get others interested before, so a group is possible. 14:39:45 <Patricia_> Absolutely no promises! 14:39:50 <darci> We always have a special interest in working with humanitarian projects as we believe that this increases engagement 14:40:17 <Patricia_> Yes darci, I agree. Good suggestion. 14:40:44 <lorip> Patricia_ is there a particular language or platform you are interested in? 14:41:32 <Patricia_> lorip Java and Python would be of interest to my students. Otherwise no preferences. 14:42:40 <lorip> open food facts has an android app which is in java - my recollection is that ushahidi is in python (but don't quote me on that!) 14:43:04 <lorip> bye all - need to get to my next meeting... 14:43:12 <Patricia_> Good to know lorip Thanks! 14:43:15 <stoney> bye lorip and thanks! 14:43:40 <stoney> before I forget, please remember to provide short comments on the stage 1 activities by logging your progress. 14:43:41 <lorip> going to leave myself as away so I can catch up when I get back to my office... 14:43:47 <stoney> #link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HvgclSLZE4f1fDrw9S7ywP6MrMsAaWjWXATQ3W7H3Wg/edit#gid=0 page for logging Stage 1 comments 14:43:56 <stoney> lorip cool :) 14:44:54 <stoney> ok... so I think we are at the end of our agenda 14:45:10 <stoney> any last thoughts, questions, etc. before I end the meeting? 14:45:32 <Patricia_> No, this has been very useful stoney 14:45:43 <darci> Thanks stoney!
