Meeting summary
- Current tasks (mchua, 19:04:16)
- http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_program_design#Tasks
(mchua,
19:04:20)
- mchua is behind, but will be catching up
shortly (mchua,
19:04:33)
- Upcoming POSSEs (mchua, 19:05:19)
- POSSE China is coming up - the biggest issue is
getting applications from attendees. iow, people plan on attending,
but we don't know anything about them, so we can't approve them to
attend. (mchua,
19:06:11)
- POSSE South Africa is looking very good, thanks
to madeyeye's hard work - it has instructors (jwildeboer and myself)
but lacks a tech guru. Anyone know a good South African Fedora
hacker? (mchua,
19:06:55)
- POSSE Malaysia still needs instructors and a
tech guru, but there's a general idea of how that might
happen. (mchua,
19:07:39)
- mchua is worried about POSSE Philippines and
EMEA not happening this fall because there hasn't been any news
about it and the fall is coming close. (mchua,
19:08:01)
- Other POSSE ideas: beagleboard, Santa
Cruz/California, Drupal, Olin, design, Arizona State, University of
Kansas, Johns Hopkins, Scotland, Brazil, Plone, liberal arts.
(mchua,
19:08:56)
- POSSE program administration (mchua, 19:09:34)
- In terms of running POSSE, I'd love to have a
professor (possibly with a course release) to work with on this in
the spring - and make it a rotating thing, where a different
professor gets a course release to coordinate coordinators of POSSE
each year. (mchua,
19:11:15)
- I'd also like to have a conversation at some
point this month with anyone who's interested in - or already
involved with - doing research on the effectiveness of POSSE, formal
or informal, because we need to get a better idea of how we're
doing. (mchua,
19:12:01)
- Our trademark for POSSE is *still* in the
works. Legal stuff takes a while, apparently. :) (mchua,
19:12:43)
- POSSE infrastructure (mchua, 19:12:49)
- ctyler, quaid, ianweller, and I are hoping to
get POSSE some more solid infrastructure with a more distributed
sysadmin team. Help welcome! We target completion of the work by the
end of the month, with everything ready to roll by mid-august when
school starts again. (mchua,
19:13:40)
- ianweller and mchua are hacking on a POSSE
registration app this week in Santa Cruz (mchua,
19:13:52)
- ganderson-afk is doing some neat explorations
on setting up infrastructure *within* RIT (mchua,
19:14:10)
- POSSE curriculum (mchua, 19:17:28)
- quaid is revising the TOS textbook to be more
useful as a reference to POSSE; we'll try this in China.
(mchua,
19:17:46)
- mchua needs to clear time to work through a bit
of curriculum overhaul on-list (mchua,
19:18:03)
