10:07:02 <hislopg> #topic Progress on Stage 1 activities
10:07:14 <hislopg> Any questions or comments on stage 1 work?
10:08:14 <heidi> How are people coming?
10:08:33 <mselezm> I have to finish FOSS in Courses
10:08:50 <salsabbagh> I have completed stage 1 but got stuck on the last activity where we need to describe how we are doing and where we are going to teach this
10:09:14 <heidi> salsabbagh, That's fine. We don't expect you to have all of the answers when you arrive in Bologna.
10:09:20 * SaraUCM I also have to do FOSS in courses
10:09:22 <heidi> We just want you to think through the options.
10:09:42 <mselezm> I am not sure in the GitHub activity about "add you to the POSSE roll call list on GitHub."
10:10:21 <salsabbagh> As you know I don't have students and so I want to explore possibilities of conducting workshops for youth in Qatar if possible
10:10:34 <heidi> mselezm, what exactly are you stuck on?
10:10:51 <MarkZ> I have read through the material and have had a couple of ideas of what I can do - it's been very informative and I look forward to further discussion in Bologna. :)
10:11:05 <hislopg> salsabbagh: that's fine - your situation is a bit different and we understand that
10:11:49 <mselezm> I finished the GitHub activity but I dont know how to enroll the POSSE roll call list
10:12:12 <heidi> MarkZ, That's great! We find that lots of interesing ideas come out when we get folks together to talk about what could be done.
10:12:16 * SaraUCM I also have the same question as mselez
10:12:35 * heidi goes to look at the activity
10:13:39 <heidi> mselezm, and SaraUCM are you following the directions here:
10:13:41 <heidi> #link https://github.com/foss2serve/git-activity
10:14:01 <mselezm> On the other hand,
10:14:01 <mselezm> I am finding very interesting the activities, and I've been changed my courses webpages taking ideas from POSSE wiki
10:14:32 <heidi> mselezm, Wonderful! :-) We're glad to hear that POSSE is being helpful!
10:14:54 <mselezm> Ah! knoe I see
10:14:55 * SaraUCM Ok I see, we did 1 and in my case I stopped there, thanks Heidi !!
10:15:05 <mselezm> we missed the stage 5!
10:15:14 <heidi> Ah, got it. :-)
10:15:15 <shivu> Even for me its vey much helpfull
10:15:20 * SaraUCM (I missed more I think)
10:15:23 <heidi> Yes, there are a lot of steps in this activity.
10:15:42 <heidi> I especially like the step that says "Enjoy a hot beverage of your choice"
10:15:55 <MarkZ> :)
10:16:09 * SaraUCM mselezm and I are already planning for next course HFOSSE activities in a course we both teach
10:16:23 <mselezm> :-D
10:16:46 <hislopg> SaraUCM: Great!
10:17:07 <heidi> This is great! These are the sorts of collaborations that we're hoping come out of the workshop.
10:17:36 <salsabbagh> I enjoyed the GitHub activity myself and finished all the commands requested
10:18:01 * SaraUCM yes :D I'm looking forward the Bologna meeting
10:18:05 <heidi> salsabbagh, Did you fork the repo and add your name?
10:18:11 <hislopg> And we'll be doing more GitHub in Bologna, so if it's new to you you'll get more practice
10:18:30 <heidi> I ask because when you do that, Stoney or I receive an email to commit the change and I haven't seen any so far.
10:18:32 <salsabbagh> I didn't add my name actually
10:19:27 <heidi> salsabbagh, That is the goal of the activity.
10:19:39 <heidi> To practice actually making a change and getting it committed.
10:19:46 <salsabbagh> what do I do now?
10:19:49 <heidi> to walk through the steps of how this works in a simple example.
10:20:02 <heidi> Follow the steps here:  https://github.com/foss2serve/git-activity
10:20:03 <shivu> In my class given marks to students for having git account and practising git commands
10:20:16 <heidi> shivu, This is great!
10:20:51 <hislopg> OK, let's move on to the next topic
10:20:56 <hislopg> #topic Stage 2 group sign-up
10:21:11 <hislopg> Many of you have signed up already for Stage 2
10:21:53 <hislopg> But if you haven't, please do so - signing up for one HFOSS project and one course
10:22:23 <hislopg> The link is in the POSSE materials, including on the agenda page for this meeting
10:22:41 <heidi> The sign up will help form groups when we meet in Bologna.
10:22:47 <hislopg> #link http://foss2serve.org/index.php/Stage2_Groups
10:23:21 <salsabbagh> Heidi: how do I fork the repo and add my name.. I have completed all the steps in GitHub
10:24:12 <MarkZ> there are two projects i'm interested in... i've signed up to one, but will there be an opportunity to learn about the other one?
10:24:37 <hislopg> MarkZ: we'll talk a bit about each of the projects
10:24:58 <hislopg> The groupings are mostly to help people find common interests
10:25:01 <MarkZ> ok
10:25:24 <MScott> Signed up to Blockly :-)
10:26:03 <hislopg> Another reminder:  Please make sure to arrive at Stage 2 with Git installed on your laptop and having completed C.3.
10:26:07 <MarkZ> me too - i was between that and softeng - but i'll not be teaching softeng after this year, so blockly is probably the most sensible one. I will, however, be very interested to hear what the softeng group have to say!
10:26:39 <heidi> salsabbagh, 1. sign into github; 2. navigate to the git-activity via the link; 3. there is a "Fork" button in the upper corner of the screen.
10:26:46 <heidi> Google is also your friend on this one.
10:27:05 <salsabbagh> Heidi: do we have a github account or do we need to create one?
10:27:07 <heidi> The instructions are here : https://github.com/foss2serve/git-activity
10:27:24 <heidi> salsabbagh, If you do not already have a github account, you will need to create one.
10:28:29 <mselezm> ok
10:29:30 <heidi> What other questions are there?
10:29:37 <mselezm> nop
10:29:43 <heidi> Has everyone made their hotel reservations?
10:29:52 <MScott> yes
10:30:02 <MarkZ> yep
10:30:05 <heidi> Good!
10:30:25 <hislopg> Our meeting will be at the University of Bologna
10:30:28 <heidi> We'll be meeting at the University of Bologna, Belmeloro Complex, Building A.
10:30:44 <mselezm> yes
10:30:49 <heidi> The University of Bologna has sites around the city so it is important to remember the "Belmeloro Complex"
10:31:06 <heidi> We don't know the exact room yet, but we'll send email when we know that.
10:31:17 <MarkZ> perfect.
10:31:20 <heidi> Address: Belmeloro 14, Bologna
10:31:57 <heidi> Does everyone have Visas if needed?
10:31:59 <hislopg> We're meeting along with the ITiCSE conference working groups - they meet on Saturday and Sunday too
10:32:19 <hislopg> We'll share breaks and lunch with those groups, but hold our own workshop
10:32:59 <heidi> Please remember to log your progress in the sheet in Google docs:
10:33:14 <heidi> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Fs5rTu6ltChsIfk3ywk0BfL0YAaKqMDgMAHspiuXM0/edit?usp=sharing
10:33:57 <MarkZ> how important is it to finish all the tasks before bologna?
10:34:13 <heidi> It is fairly important.
10:34:34 <heidi> You'll definitely need to have completed all of the GitHub activity as you'll build on that when we meet.
10:35:00 <salsabbagh> It would be great if you could send us emails with all location information
10:35:03 <heidi> And you'll also want to have thought about the FOSS in Courses 1 and 2.
10:35:12 <MarkZ> that seems sensible to me
10:35:23 <salsabbagh> Heidi: I just did the fork .. could you check it my name is on there now?
10:35:25 <heidi> salsabbagh, Yup, definitely. We'll send an email late this week or early next week with logistics.
10:35:54 <salsabbagh> Heidi: Great thanks
10:36:02 <hislopg> Make that "later this week"  :-)
10:36:09 <heidi> salsabbagh, Did you do step 5 which is issuing a pull request back to the repo?
10:36:13 <heidi> I'm not seeing a pull request yet.
10:36:35 <hislopg> we're waiting on more information from the conference organizers - but we'll send an email as soon as we know details
10:37:42 <salsabbagh> Heidi: I think you can see one now?
10:38:41 <heidi> salsabbagh, Nope, don't see the pull request.
10:39:37 <heidi> Are there any last questions?
10:41:05 <mselezm> nop
10:41:11 <heidi> We're looking forward to meeting everyone face-to-face in a week and a half!
10:41:18 <MarkZ> :)
10:41:43 <heidi> So fun to hear what everyone has learned and how they're planning on using HFOSS in the classroom.
10:42:33 <hislopg> I think we've covered everything.  Thanks everyone!
10:42:41 <hislopg> Safe travels to Bologna!
