17:01:59 <becka> Good Morning
17:02:01 <heidie> Ha you beat me! I was looking for that.
17:02:18 <heidie> becka, good afternoon! Wish that it was still morning.
17:02:33 <monisha> Hi everyone
17:02:39 <heidie> Hi Monisha
17:03:23 <becka> heidie: I have three more hours then you do :-)
17:03:24 <heidie> So according to our agenda, first thing is updates on how folks are doing in small groups.
17:03:27 <heidie> Right!
17:03:47 <heidie> becka: which means that you're still finishing breakfast while I'm on lunch. :-)
17:03:53 <ghislop> Set a topic?
17:04:00 <heidie> Oh, good idea ;-)
17:04:09 <heidie> #topic Stage 3 Updates
17:04:19 <heidie> Would someone like to go first?
17:04:39 <ghislop> OpenMRS?
17:04:48 <heidie> Sure, who is in that group?
17:04:53 <lorip> sure, I can start
17:05:05 <lorip> becka and mattln please chime in
17:05:56 <becka> I have just finished walking in graduation, grading finals and final projects, and am working on setting up my teaching for the summer.
17:06:06 <becka> I am looking forward to dev install today
17:06:09 <lorip> we had our first meeting on Thursday night - Ben had completed the most, he installed the dev environment and submitted a patch
17:06:18 <heidie> Oh, good!
17:06:43 <lorip> Darci & I have installed the client side and will work on the dev side next
17:07:06 <ghislop> #link http://foss2serve.org/index.php/TheOpenMRSTeam
17:07:14 <lorip> Matt had made progress on the dev side and JoAnne was in the process of working on it
17:07:19 <heidie> :-) Good!
17:07:55 <lorip> OpenMRS has several calls a week, several of us have been able to attend the OpenMRS University call and/or the OpenMRS Developers call
17:08:05 <lorip> have I left anything out?
17:08:10 <heidie> What is the OpenMRS University call?
17:08:31 <lorip> the goal of it is to get new developers up to speed
17:09:04 <heidie> lorip: ah, thanks.
17:09:05 <lorip> at the moment it is supposed to be for the google summer of code interns, but they don't seem to be on it - the mentors have been though..
17:09:13 <ghislop> lots of good stuff!
17:09:19 <heidie> Yes, lots of good stuff!
17:09:42 * ghislop is interested in this group, but is on a schedule like Becka and just finished the quarter...
17:09:47 <lorip> we've got a number of vacations coming up, so things may slow down a bit
17:10:05 <lorip> becka, mattln - anything to add?
17:10:33 <becka> Nope, just looking forward to getting caught up with you guys :-)
17:10:51 <heidie> Is the group thinking about developing joint assignments/deliverables?
17:11:00 <heidie> Just curious.
17:11:32 <lorip> not sure - Ben has come up with a few that we are going to review for him - I'm guessing that people will try to work together
17:11:57 <heidie> Sure.
17:11:59 <heidie> :-)
17:12:55 <ghislop> bcoleman: hi Ben... lorip just finished talking about OpenMRS :-)
17:13:16 <ghislop> next group?  Gnome Accessibility?
17:13:29 <bcoleman> sorry I'm late.  Vacations make time a little less apparent.  :)
17:13:47 <heidie> :-)
17:13:57 <ghislop> right!
17:14:01 <heidie> bcoleman: Glad that you're enjoying it!
17:14:58 <heidie> Anything else from the OpenMRS group?
17:15:22 <lorip> not from me :)
17:16:00 <heidie> OK.
17:16:28 <heidie> Sonal, would you like to update on the Sahana group? You have made the most progress there I think.
17:17:07 * howardf would like to be in the Sahana group
17:17:11 <heidie> #info OpenMRS group has dev environment installed (some members) and a patch submitted.
17:17:39 <ghislop> howardf: I think you just joined :-)
17:17:41 <heidie> howardf: That's great. The Sahana group is Sonal, esmail, and nannette (who isn't on IRC at the moment.)
17:17:44 <heidie> Right!
17:19:00 <sonal> I am stuck on my first run of eden
17:19:34 <heidie> But you've made some progress since POSSE Stage 2.
17:19:39 <sonal> I got the database error resolved but am seeing a few import errors
17:19:45 <heidie> Ah, good!
17:20:04 <heidie> You had mentioned in your email that you wanted to know if any of us have gotten any further and the answer is no.
17:20:12 <sonal> ok
17:20:25 <heidie> So you're making the best progress.
17:20:35 <howardf> i need added to the email list and to be brought up to speed, please
17:21:09 <sonal> howardf: do you mean add to the Sahana list?
17:21:21 <howardf> yes, that :)
17:21:36 <sonal> sure. I will add you
17:21:55 <howardf> i couldn't make the face-to-face, so i'm a bit behind in what all went on with the group there and since then
17:21:59 <howardf> thanks!
17:22:35 <heidie> I've sent an email to everyone so you'll have each other's email.
17:22:40 <howardf> ok
17:22:45 <heidie> And there is a page for keeping track of progress at: http://www.foss2serve.org/index.php/SahanaGroupNotes
17:23:11 <heidie> Feel free to set up IRC meetings using the foss2serve channel.
17:23:58 <ghislop> And if you use #foss2serve, I'd suggest that people also use the meetbot to record the meetings
17:23:58 <heidie> sonal, it looks like your next step of approaching the community is the best.
17:24:54 <sonal> yes
17:25:09 <heidie> And you might also want to try their IRC channel.
17:25:15 <sonal> yes
17:25:27 <heidie> Might get some real-time feedback. :-) But you know this.
17:25:35 <heidie> so good!
17:25:52 <heidie> Anything else on Sahana?
17:26:02 <Patti> I am gonna have to go because niece and nephew are calling...
17:26:20 <heidie> Ah, go
17:26:34 <heidie> Do you have a quick update on Gnome before you go?
17:26:41 <Patti> Sure..
17:26:56 <Patti> I know they had a meeting yesterday that I was not able to attend...
17:27:14 <Patti> I have contacted the developers and exchanged a few email
17:27:24 <heidie> And what are you working on again?
17:27:33 <pnutzh4x0r> (we mainly discussed the current status of MouseTrap)
17:27:51 <heidie> pnutzh4x0r: I think Patti is working on something different?
17:27:56 <Patti> I am trying to create interface for somoene with physical disabilities
17:28:05 <heidie> Ah, right.
17:28:11 <Patti> I am on the GNOME but not on mousetrap
17:28:17 <heidie> Right, got it.
17:28:22 <heidie> Good.
17:28:31 <ghislop> Thanks Patti!
17:28:45 <heidie> pnutzh4x0r: do you want to update on MouseTrap?
17:28:51 <Patti> I got great resources from the developers but still have not installed anything
17:29:02 <heidie> Ah, OK.
17:29:16 <Patti> just got back to work today after conference and vacation...
17:29:34 <Patti> gotta run
17:29:39 * heidie waves bye
17:29:55 <pnutzh4x0r> basically, we have two students working on fixing up the code base so we have something that runs (and hopefully works)
17:30:47 <pnutzh4x0r> we discussed some of the issues we will have to face going forward
17:31:14 <pnutzh4x0r> mainly 1. moving from gtk2 to gtk3 and 2. moving from python2 to python3
17:32:00 <pnutzh4x0r> part of this will be figuring out how to interface with opencv, which is a library we need
17:32:06 <heidie> Yes. 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
