Yah 13:37:49 <Patti> still here 13:38:04 <Patti> but a line showed up.. am i still connected? 13:38:17 <darci> I sent this link out before...http://foss2serve.org/index.php/Stage_2_Activities/2.3_OpenMRS 13:38:27 <darci> Yep...I see you! 13:40:56 <darci> Do you want to talk about the assignment or the proposal first? 13:41:44 <Patti> either one... 13:41:52 <Patti> is Jeff here? 13:41:53 <wardj1> Are you planning to do a proposal? 13:42:05 <Patti> I wanted to talk about it... 13:42:57 <Patti> I will not have time to develop these activities. It would be great to hire a student to help me with it... 13:42:59 <darci> Do you have access to the email that Patii sent on Monday, 6/23? 13:44:05 <wardj1> Yes, the student sounded like a great resource. 13:44:30 <darci> Ok...I've dropped the ball on this one. Just been too busy. 13:44:55 <darci> I should have discussed the idea with the foss2serve team during our Skype call yesterday. 13:44:58 <Patti> I have to do a research grant in Biomedical Informatics for tenure.. this won't count for tenure for me... 13:45:16 <Patti> so it just makes sense to use a student for this... 13:45:34 <darci> My first thought is that the grant states that these stipends are for faculty. 13:46:13 <Patti> Well... that does put a damper on the idea 13:46:18 <darci> We have a separate budget for student work. 13:46:56 <Patti> How do I get connected to that? 13:47:44 <darci> That has been used by each institution to hire a student(s) to do some work related to what we are doing. For example, I hired a student last year to work on MouseTrap. 13:47:44 <Patti> I am already getting a lot of slack for doing too much... especially in the classroom and not enough in the field I was hired for... 13:48:21 <Patti> Can we hire them to do course development under our supervision... 13:49:15 <darci> I don't know. We have a call scheduled for Tuesday. I'll throw the idea out then and see what others think. 13:50:31 <Patti> that would be great... thank you.... 13:50:36 <darci> I also don't think that I can be part of a proposal...not sure. 13:51:04 <darci> I am willing to work on it regardless. 13:51:21 <darci> It falls into the work I'm slated to do as part of the grant anyway. 13:52:17 <darci> The idea behind the stipends is to support others faculty who are interested in doing curriculum developemnt. 13:53:23 <Patti> Got it... 13:53:34 <Patti> Yeah, I am not there yet... 13:54:14 <Patti> unless I can hire a student to help me with it... 13:54:30 <darci> Is there any way that the research grant you are supposed to do can tie into OpenMRS. 13:56:14 <Patti> Maybe... I am looking into it... It is for a visualization that I have develped that could possibly be a module for openMRS... but I am trying to implement it real time for the ER, ICUs and such and I don't see OpenMRS working in that capacity... but I need to learn more about Open MRS to be sure... 13:57:04 <Patti> I am here at MIT trying to get access to a streaming database... but no luck... 13:59:29 <darci> Ok...regarding the data structures assignment, will you be teaching CS2/Data Structures in the fall? 13:59:35 <Patti> Yes... 13:59:39 <wardj1> Yes. 14:00:00 <wardj1> And probably in the Spring. 14:00:42 <darci> Have you had a chance to review what we developed while at POSSE? 14:01:22 <Patti> while we were there....but not since... 14:01:45 <wardj1> I haven't looked back at it. 14:02:11 <darci> :) me either... 14:02:12 <wardj1> I've looked around for data structs in the source code a little. But need to spend more time on that. 14:02:41 <darci> Did you use Ag? 14:03:23 <wardj1> What is Ag? 14:03:35 <wardj1> I've been using Google search. 14:04:28 <darci> According to their website it is like grep and ack. There is a link to it on the data structures assignment page 14:04:59 <wardj1> Thanks 14:05:51 <darci> I haven't tried it. 14:06:24 * darci looking at what we've got so far... 14:07:26 <wardj1> For next time, I'll try to write a summary of the data structures that I find and what they are used for. 14:08:15 <darci> That sounds good. 14:08:32 <darci> Maybe I'll take a stab at doing a write-up of what we have from POSSE. 14:08:56 <wardj1> I have found some structures that are compositions of Java Collections Framework collections. E.g. TreeMap<Integer, TreeSet<FormField>>. I'll try to understand what they do. 14:08:58 <darci> I can distribute it to you and we can discuss it next time. 14:09:38 <darci> Ohh...I like that. It doesn't work for our CS2 class, but would work for our Data structures class. 14:10:05 <darci> I would like to get the faculty member who teaches our Data Structures class involved. 14:11:23 <darci> Does this day and time work for both of you in general? 14:11:43 <Patti> yes 14:11:48 <wardj1> yes 14:12:19 <Patti> Would this be for once a month? 14:12:22 <wardj1> Anytime THursdya 14:12:55 <darci> What do you think? Can you meet more often than that? 14:13:04 <wardj1> Well, we also have the other OpenMRS meeting. So I would say this meeting of us three once a month is okay. 14:13:15 <wardj1> But I can do more if you like. 14:13:57 <darci> I don't recall...when is our next OpenMRS meeting? 14:14:25 <wardj1> I think it's _supposed_ to be next Thursday. 14:14:44 <Patti> I have to say that this has to take a back burner for me since I am under pressure to get a paper, presentation and grant written over the summer... 14:14:47 <wardj1> Second Thursday of each month. 14:15:24 <Patti> But I am going to see if I can find a student who will help... and see if the university has funds to pay for them.... 14:15:40 <darci> Hmmm...I 14:15:44 <Patti> If not I will use my seed fund to help with this... 14:16:12 <darci> oops...I'm going to miss next Thursday's call. Any chance we can meet two weeks from today? 14:16:40 <wardj1> okay by me 14:16:43 <Patti> sure... 14:17:09 <Patti> same time? 14:17:20 <wardj1> any time you like 14:17:44 <darci> 9:00 works for me 14:17:47 <Patti> this time works... should we try Skype next time? 14:17:48 <wardj1> ok 14:18:10 <Patti> or stick with IRC? 14:18:25 <darci> We can...I'm not sure we can do video without having to pay. 14:18:49 <Patti> We can if we are all on Skype... for up to 3 users... 14:18:51 <wardj1> I don't think video is necessary. Audio is nice 14:19:03 <darci> Let's try it then! 14:19:29 <darci> If you will send me your Skype ids, I'll initiate the call. 14:19:40 <Patti> Will do... 14:20:04 <Patti> Skype works better for me in PR than Hangouts also... 14:20:17 <wardj1> I'm not an expert user. So if one of you sends me the appropriate invitation, that will be good. 14:20:32 <darci> Ok...I'll try to get the draft of the write-up out in the nexte week or so. 14:21:03 <darci> wardj1: as long as your on Skype when the call comes in, all you have to do is answer. 14:21:48 <wardj1> Do I need to send you a username? 14:21:52 <Patti> But you have to download the software and create your own Skype ID and send that ID to Darci 14:21:58 <darci> Yep...your Skype id 14:22:00 <wardj1> got it 14:22:32 <Patti> At call time you have to be sure the software is running... 14:22:49 <wardj1> Sounds easy 14:23:06 <darci> It is... 14:23:20 <Patti> There is only one problem I have had is that it uses your speakers instead of headset... 14:23:47 <darci> I've been able to use a headset, but don't usually need one. 14:23:54 <Patti> but I will email you a link to show you how to test it and test it... 14:24:11 <Patti> with three you will probably need one because we will start to get feedback 14:24:49 <Patti> like the feedback when you get the microphone too close to the speakers... 14:24:49 <darci> All sounds good...I need to go soon. Anything else for today? 14:24:57 <Patti> that's it... 14:25:00 <Patti> for me 14:25:13 <wardj1> See you in two weeks. 14:25:17 <wardj1> Enjoy MIT. 14:25:23 <darci> Sounds good! Bye all! 14:25:25 <Patti> Will do... 14:25:29 <Patti> bye!!! 14:25:30 <wardj1> Bye 14:25:43 <darci> #endmeeting
