(This just gets an automatic transcript so we don't have to worry about copy-pasting/saving it later.) |
| 19:05 |
MacKenzie |
sounds good |
| 19:05 |
Katelyn |
great |
| 19:05 |
MacKenzie |
katelyn, do you think colin is joining us |
| 19:05 |
|
or will it just be the three of us? |
| 19:05 |
mchua |
There were 4 things I wanted to ask you folks about, but they should be pretty quick, did you have anything you wanted to bring up? (pasting questions in, one sec) |
| 19:06 |
Katelyn |
i dont think colin is joining |
| 19:06 |
|
yes, we have a few things |
| 19:06 |
|
1. server |
| 19:06 |
|
2. teaching time during our spring break |
| 19:07 |
|
3. schedule for pilot |
| 19:07 |
mchua |
oh hey, colinz! |
| 19:07 |
Katelyn |
oh great, hey colin1 |
| 19:07 |
MacKenzie |
Hey! |
| 19:07 |
mchua |
colinz: http://meeting.laptop.org/olpc[…]0090306_1904.html for the backlog |
| 19:07 |
|
we just started |
| 19:07 |
colinz |
ohay mchua |
| 19:07 |
MacKenzie |
to continue with Katelyn's list... |
| 19:07 |
colinz |
hey Makenzie |
| 19:07 |
MacKenzie |
4. Tech Team and in-house CFS training |
| 19:07 |
mchua |
Ok, and when MacKenzie's done adding agenda items I'll put mine up too. :) |
| 19:08 |
MacKenzie |
go ahead Mel! |
| 19:08 |
mchua |
the first is an overlap - Server deployment: when do you want it? we need a weekend for setup, and a weekday workshop to show teachers how to use it. Ready anytime after 2 weeks from now. |
| 19:09 |
MacKenzie |
well, we are launching the pilot the week of the 16th |
| 19:09 |
Katelyn |
i think that as soon as possible would be best |
| 19:09 |
mchua |
the second might be an overlap - XO deployment: when are XOs going out, and how can Sandra's team start scheduling time to be in classrooms helping teachers work it into their curriculum? what do we need to do and work out to get them started? |
| 19:09 |
|
the third: News and communications, how do we find this stuff out in general? Where can people get details on funding, marketing, and evaluation? (We have the beginnings of a portal for more technically-oriented teams.) Do we want to use the olpc_boston mailing list? |
| 19:10 |
|
and the last is scheduling a weekly meeting that hopefully can get more attendance than this one. :) |
| 19:10 |
|
that's all I had to put up, should we go in order starting with Katelyn's list? |
| 19:10 |
Katelyn |
ok great, so first off is the server |
| 19:10 |
|
it would be great if you guys could do it around the 16th |
| 19:11 |
|
but after also works |
| 19:11 |
MacKenzie |
so next weekend |
| 19:11 |
|
we could ask peter about installation times that would work |
| 19:11 |
colinz |
Would that just be configuring, or actually bringing the thing into CFS and all that Jazz? |
| 19:11 |
MacKenzie |
and then we could set up an after school session with teachers to go over how to work with the server |
| 19:11 |
mchua |
colinz, bringing it to CFS. |
| 19:12 |
colinz |
I believe we just need to get wireless working |
| 19:12 |
|
oh, and testing |
| 19:12 |
mchua |
colinz - that's scheduled for the next feature release round, so as long as moodle and jabber work we're set and we'll hook it up with wired to start with. ;) |
| 19:13 |
|
but basically, it sounds like we're good to go whenever CFS is free. |
| 19:13 |
Katelyn |
yes, and you all have the IT contact info, right? |
| 19:13 |
mchua |
MacKenzie, getting an installation time from Peter would be great. Yifan has IT contact info but I'm not sure if we need permission from anyone else to set up a time to come in. |
| 19:14 |
|
MacKenzie: (if we don't need to get it from Peter, that's ok, just making sure we're not going to have to pick locks to get in... ;) |
| 19:14 |
Katelyn |
we'll double check when we meet with him beginning of next week |
| 19:14 |
mchua |
awesome, thanks! |
| 19:14 |
Katelyn |
but it should be fine |
| 19:14 |
mchua |
colinz, spring break was when again? |
| 19:14 |
colinz |
Starts next Fri |
| 19:15 |
Katelyn |
great |
| 19:15 |
mchua |
and MacKenzie, Katelyn - in terms of after school sessions with teachers for server training, do you want to send us some dates that would work for CFS and we'll figure out who can go and send you back when we're coming? |
| 19:15 |
colinz |
14 - 20th |
| 19:15 |
MacKenzie |
Mel, yes we will do that. We are meeting with the teachers next week. |
| 19:15 |
Katelyn |
that would be great |
| 19:15 |
MacKenzie |
Our spring break is the following week |
| 19:16 |
Katelyn |
so what we were hoping is that Olin could manage things the week of the 23rd |
| 19:16 |
|
mack and i will be traveling |
| 19:16 |
|
that wold include being at cfs while the laptop is being used to answer technical questions |
| 19:16 |
colinz |
I will also be traveling |
| 19:16 |
|
NC Habitat for Humanity build |
| 19:16 |
mchua |
I'll be in town both weeks, and can get to campus pretty easily. |
| 19:16 |
Katelyn |
during the week of the 23rd? |
| 19:16 |
mchua |
What days do you usually go in? |
| 19:16 |
MacKenzie |
when do you get back colin? |
| 19:16 |
colinz |
Could do long distance technical questions, however |
| 19:17 |
mchua |
and there'll be others at Olin who'll be in town even during their spring break. |
| 19:17 |
MacKenzie |
Mel--we are hoping to have a few people there daily |
| 19:17 |
Katelyn |
ok, what about xavier, yifan, and sandra? |
| 19:17 |
colinz |
I'm leaving the 14th and getting back the 22nd |
| 19:17 |
mchua |
Don't know their schedule availability, but I'll ask |
| 19:17 |
colinz |
will have to ask them, I suspect that at least of them will be here over break |
| 19:17 |
Katelyn |
ohhh, you all have a two week spring break, right? |
| 19:18 |
mchua |
#ACTION Mack and Katelyn to check with CFS and send options for server installation and training times to olpc_boston lists.laptop.org |
| 19:18 |
|
It's a 1-week spring break, I'm guessing colinz meant he won't be in town from 14-20 |
| 19:18 |
|
? |
| 19:18 |
MacKenzie |
perfect |
| 19:18 |
|
because we're gone the following week |
| 19:18 |
mchua |
colinz, do you think you could find out who from Olin will be in town during 14-20? |
| 19:18 |
|
Yep. |
| 19:19 |
Katelyn |
but also during 23-30th |
| 19:19 |
MacKenzie |
katelyn and i will be around that week |
| 19:19 |
|
from the 14-20 |
| 19:19 |
colinz |
tis what I meant, will be building homes in NC |
| 19:19 |
MacKenzie |
so that's not as pressing |
| 19:19 |
Katelyn |
our big concern is that the pilot will lose momentum while we're gone |
| 19:19 |
colinz |
OH, I'm sorry, 23rd, yeah, i'm back then |
| 19:19 |
Katelyn |
ok, thats great |
| 19:19 |
|
well email the olin team to get a schedule for the week of the 23rd |
| 19:20 |
mchua |
ok, that moves us nicely into the third thing we had to talk about |
| 19:20 |
|
1. server |
| 19:20 |
|
2. teaching time during spring break |
| 19:20 |
|
3. schedule for pilot |
| 19:20 |
colinz |
Sounds good, would be helpful to have good times on any proposed schedule, people here seem to work better that way |
| 19:20 |
Katelyn |
the schedule is going to be finalized beginning of next week |
| 19:21 |
|
right now, the teachers still have not told us their preferences |
| 19:21 |
mchua |
(does anyone have a time they have to leave at, btw? I'm going to have to take off at 7:45 regardless, but was hoping to keep this to 30min) |
| 19:21 |
Katelyn |
so we're pinning them down in a meeting next week |
| 19:21 |
|
i think we can wrap up in 10 min |
| 19:21 |
mchua |
great :) thanks for doing all this schedule-wrangling... it's a tough and thankless job |
| 19:22 |
Katelyn |
4. tech team and in-house training |
| 19:22 |
mchua |
sweet. Sandra's team is basically waiting for timeslots they can come in on |
| 19:22 |
Katelyn |
great |
| 19:22 |
|
and that includes tech training for a volunteer support team (of students)? |
| 19:22 |
mchua |
yes. |
| 19:22 |
Katelyn |
excellent |
| 19:22 |
|
now we can move on to your list |
| 19:23 |
mchua |
ok. you mentioned XOs were going out week of the 16th? |
| 19:23 |
Katelyn |
yes |
| 19:23 |
mchua |
so I'm going to set a few things... |
| 19:24 |
|
(while I type those, is there anything Sandra's team should do at CFS before the XOs go out?) |
| 19:24 |
MacKenzie |
yes |
| 19:24 |
Katelyn |
so we need to get together before that week to check the xos and load the customization key |
| 19:24 |
MacKenzie |
exactly |
| 19:24 |
|
and run a simulation of sorts |
| 19:24 |
mchua |
#ACTION Katelyn and MacKenzie send olpc_bostonlists.laptop.org date/time options for tech team / in-house CFS training / having volunteers in classrooms / Sandra's team |
| 19:24 |
MacKenzie |
to ensure that the laptops are up to speed |
| 19:25 |
mchua |
Ok, sounds like a good thing to do on-site. Do you want to send us a date and colinz and I can pull the necessary tech volunteers in? |
| 19:25 |
Katelyn |
yes |
| 19:25 |
mchua |
#ACTION Katelyn and MacKenzie send olpclists.olin.edu what's needed to hold down the fort during spring break while you're away |
| 19:25 |
Katelyn |
will do |
| 19:26 |
mchua |
#ACTION Katelyn and MacKenzie send olpc_bostonlists.laptop.org date/time options for next week's deployment tech testing party |
| 19:26 |
colinz |
I would be assembling Olin volunteers, right, no tech team kids |
| 19:26 |
mchua |
(we could probably set up the server then, if it's ready) |
| 19:26 |
colinz |
*not |
| 19:26 |
Katelyn |
yes, olin volunteers |
| 19:26 |
mchua |
colinz: yeah, unless there were some CFS tech team kids that really wanted to get involved and their parents let them stay that evening, I suppose |
| 19:26 |
|
they'd be normal volunteers for that event, though, not "student tech team members" |
| 19:26 |
Katelyn |
lets leave the kids out for now |
| 19:27 |
MacKenzie |
agreed |
| 19:27 |
Katelyn |
this will probably happen next friday |
| 19:27 |
mchua |
Well, there are also non-Olin technical volunteers with server experience who might come by (and some of our best tech volunteers are between 14-17 years old, actually) |
| 19:27 |
Katelyn |
thats fine, i meant leaving the cfs students out for now |
| 19:28 |
mchua |
ok |
| 19:28 |
|
we're getting close to time, so last two things really quick |
| 19:28 |
|
6. agree on channels of communication for the pilot |
| 19:28 |
|
6a. agree on weekly chat (or somehow make sure that gets planned) |
| 19:29 |
Katelyn |
i think a weekly check in is great |
| 19:29 |
mchua |
this has been *really* helpful |
| 19:29 |
Katelyn |
next week, we'll see each other on friday |
| 19:29 |
mchua |
yep! thank you so much for taking the time to fill us in. |
| 19:29 |
|
between now and next friday, should we use the olpc_boston mailing list to stay in touch? |
| 19:29 |
MacKenzie |
in the meantime, we'll be in touch with cfs to answer the remaining questions |
| 19:29 |
Katelyn |
yes and personal emails for more logistical issues |
| 19:30 |
MacKenzie |
sounds good! |
| 19:30 |
mchua |
ok - I can't imagine many messages between now and next friday about this that would be unsuitable for the mailing list, but cool |
| 19:30 |
|
ok, looking forward to hearing about the scheduling for next week's setup then |
| 19:30 |
|
that's all I had |
| 19:31 |
MacKenzie |
great--have a nice weekend everyone! |
| 19:31 |
Katelyn |
yup, see you friday and we'll be in touch via email at the beginning of next week |
| 19:31 |
MacKenzie |
we'll be in touch soon |
| 19:31 |
mchua |
(whoa, the soup is done! I think it's dinnertime.) |
| 19:31 |
|
Awesome, thanks! |
| 19:31 |
colinz |
Great, I think I'm covered, though y'all are really the organizing masterminds |
| 19:31 |
mchua |
ending meeting.... |
