18:39:23 <Sparks_too> randomuser: It's zoglesby's fault
18:39:44 * randomuser nods reassuringly
18:39:53 <randomuser> *of course* it's zoglesby's fault
18:40:39 * mpduty says hello to everybody
18:40:47 <Sparks_too> Hiya
18:41:08 <randomuser> hey mpduty
18:41:19 <Sparks_too> I'll be here for as long as zoglesby doesn't suck up all the bw with his UDP packets
18:41:47 <zoglesby> yummmy
18:43:16 <Sparks_too> So what's up?
18:44:38 <randomuser> I'm working on my scripts that update things for publican4, and attempting a little arguing with dgilmore
18:44:55 <Sparks_too> randomuser: Do you need to argue with dgilmore/
18:44:56 <Sparks_too> ?
18:45:26 <randomuser> he has concerns about updating libxml2 in el6-docs
18:45:39 <randomuser> then, i think he got hungry and left
18:45:40 <Sparks_too> Why?
18:46:14 <mpduty> randomuser, last time we spoke you mentioned about a course for school students
18:46:26 <mpduty> how can we start thinking in this direction?
18:46:54 <randomuser> Sparks_too, he thinks we'd have to update it other places too
18:47:03 <randomuser> should be able to clear that up when he gets bacl
18:47:20 <Sparks_too> randomuser: Was this today?
18:47:28 <randomuser> mpduty, well, I'd have to start with something very basic; learn how teachers construct syllabi and lesson plans
18:47:40 <randomuser> Sparks_too, yes, just recently
18:47:58 <Sparks_too> randomuser: Okay
18:48:49 <randomuser> mpduty, lnovich was at one time a teacher, she would probably be the best person to talk into the idea
18:49:03 <mpduty> randomuser, OK
18:50:45 <mpduty> I've been a school teacher for some time too :)
18:51:22 <randomuser> ha! I should have realized
18:52:06 <randomuser> mpduty, I guess I'd start with a wiki page, put down the structure of what you want to do
18:52:34 <mpduty> yes, that will be helpful
18:53:31 <randomuser> you'd need, what: book, accompanying notes for the teacher, workbook, tests & answers ?
18:53:56 <mpduty> a text book perhaps at first
18:54:03 <randomuser> probably lesson plans and a syllabus in some standardized format
18:54:35 <mpduty> and a decision has to be made regarding what age groups should be targetted
18:54:58 <randomuser> 9 week courses are pretty typical around here
18:55:49 <randomuser> I would say... 14 and up?
18:56:20 <mpduty> randomuser, yes that would be better
18:56:57 <mpduty> Linux foundation is giving a course on Linux in EdX
18:58:14 * randomuser has ~15 in battery left and no charger :(
18:58:27 <mpduty> :)
18:59:29 <mpduty> I guess there is less than that time for the meeting to end?
19:00:06 <randomuser> not necessarily, Sparks and zoglesby are around too
19:00:12 <randomuser> #chair Sparks zoglesby mpduty
19:00:12 <zodbot> Current chairs: Sparks mpduty randomuser zoglesby
19:00:29 <randomuser> there, any of you can close the meeting with the bot
19:00:57 <randomuser> this is more of a work session than meeting anyway, no real time limit
19:09:48 <randomuser> ok, that's it for me
19:10:00 <randomuser> and since nobody else is talking, I'll end the meeting
