agenda is short just as well since I am short on time today |
| 15:07 |
|
we just need to be sure nothing's blocking on UY bike race event with April deadline |
| 15:07 |
|
JT4sugar: I saw your mail, I will try calling Seso later |
| 15:07 |
|
garycmartin: in case you haven't had a chance to follow latest developments, we |
| 15:08 |
|
are acting on Marketlab study recommendations to revamp website |
| 15:08 |
|
to that end we have located 2 resources: a design/event firm based in California, and |
| 15:08 |
|
an RIT design student |
| 15:09 |
garycmartin |
SeanDaly: yes, have been vaguely following, though don't know the specific details/results. |
| 15:09 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, OK let me know. Idea is to set up conference call for next week Christian, RIT(Prof Jacobs-student), Seso?, Sugar Labs folks |
| 15:09 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: hi... |
| 15:09 |
SeanDaly |
walterbender who organised Garmin-Cervelo team sponsorship had idea for event with kids during their Uruguay race |
| 15:09 |
|
oh hi walterbender |
| 15:10 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: well, I organized the discussion... that is all so far |
| 15:10 |
SeanDaly |
garycmartin: i was in NYC a week ago and had a great talk with Christian there |
| 15:11 |
|
We haven't raised Seso on the phone yet, idea is conf call for sometime next week |
| 15:11 |
|
walterbender: did you see team jersey? it's incredible |
| 15:11 |
garycmartin |
SeanDaly: Yes Christian mentioned you two had caught up during the Design Team meeting on Sunday, nice to hear :) |
| 15:11 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: haven't seen it yet in the flesh |
| 15:12 |
SeanDaly |
it's shaping up (JT4sugar correct me if you see differently) that student + Seso will likely best be tasked with Uruguay microsite event |
| 15:12 |
|
while Christian could also work with student on gathering content for site revamp |
| 15:13 |
|
in fact content gathering (images, films, screenshots) time-consuming and student could really help there |
| 15:14 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, I see both being very important. Race will push lots of people to regular site as well and key pieces should be in place |
| 15:14 |
SeanDaly |
walterbender: we have a bump with onlinr virtual sugar (dogi's experiment), apparently can't scale |
| 15:15 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: it cannot scale without throwing resouces at it that we don't have... but |
| 15:15 |
|
SeanDaly: we can have a view-only mode as a backup plan |
| 15:15 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: yes,but between microsite & frontal main site, even if ideally both in place by UY race, only one has hard deadline |
| 15:16 |
|
walterbender: interesting |
| 15:16 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: dogi and had a long discussion about that yesterday... |
| 15:17 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: although Christian is quite occupied next week, he thinks mid-April deadline can be met for frontal site, but |
| 15:17 |
|
that implies we organize teacher beta test group ASAP |
| 15:17 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, It would seem that Seso positioned and have ability to handle race site. With 40hrs per week student has for quarter I think time best spent with Christian on Site and Teacher Beta testing |
| 15:18 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: my understanding was Prof Jacobs wanted student to work with Seso, but if he could work with Christian on frontal site, that would be fabulous |
| 15:20 |
|
by the way we haven't discussed content of microsite; for me, starting point is here: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Vuelta_a_Uruguay |
| 15:20 |
|
I imagine a site kids could go to to share & obtain race info |
| 15:21 |
|
in Spanish of course... ideally in English too |
| 15:21 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, Prof Jacobs and student are flexible. the key at moment is what is Seso willing to do and in what time frame |
| 15:21 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: yes, confirming Seso commitment is key |
| 15:23 |
|
garycmartin has quit IRC |
| 15:23 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: remind me, when is student available? |
| 15:24 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, Starting March 7th |
| 15:24 |
SeanDaly |
ok great |
| 15:25 |

walterbender |
SeanDaly: we need to converge on some concrete plans for .uy before designing the website :P |
| 15:26 |
SeanDaly |
walterbender: Quite |
| 15:27 |
walterbender |
SeanDaly: although, at worst, we can just highlight a bunch of project ideas |
| 15:27 |
SeanDaly |
walterbender: ideas |
| 15:27 |
|
? |
| 15:27 |
walterbender |

dream photo from race: a team rider with Sugar Labs jersey passing kids with XOs ;-) |
| 15:30 |
|
kids could take photos or videos of race? write reports of each stage? |
| 15:30 |
|

| 15:31 |
SeanDaly |
kids study statistics of each stage? e.g. length / time = average speed? |
| 15:32 |
satellit_ |
gimp or photoshop combine pictures? |
| 15:32 |
SeanDaly |
Pablo Flores has mentioned that ceibalJAM brainstorming about how to engage kids with race |
| 15:33 |
|
hi satellit_, what do you mean combine, like a gallery? |
| 15:34 |
JT4sugar |
walterbender, Is Plan Ceibal going to take advantage of race for any PR or planning events around that you know of? Or is it just volunteer crowd taking advantage of? |
| 15:36 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: good question I will run that by OLPC-A too |
| 15:36 |
satellit_ |
dodge in the 2 photos so they appear as one |
| 15:36 |
walterbender |
JT4sugar: I contacted Ceibal... nada. need to contact them again |
| 15:37 |
|
JT4sugar: so far, I have been in direct contact with teachers and volunteers in .uy (and elsewhere) |
| 15:38 |
SeanDaly |
I think students in other countries could be interested in following the race... |
| 15:38 |
JT4sugar |
walterbender, Are teachers planning on bringing kids out to race in cities they are going through? |
| 15:39 |
walterbender |
JT4sugar: I hope so, but we need Ceibal help for that sort of effort |
| 15:42 |
JT4sugar |
walterbender, Officially sanctioned-I see. It would be helpful to understand their curriculum for that week and see if Seso and others could build activities for kids that would satisfy what teachers need to teach allowing Ceibal to say yes |
| 15:43 |
walterbender |
JT4sugar: interesting... I wonder if Guzman or Rosamel could help us there |
| 15:44 |
JT4sugar |
walterbender, Try to build situation they have a hard time saying no to because we did a little homework ourselves |
| 15:44 |
walterbender |
JT4sugar: I'm sending a note to some teachers... will CC you |

tch has quit IRC |
| 15:51 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, My thought would be to get Prof Jacob-student and Christian working together starting early next week and fold in Seso if they come on board. Allow student to begin to look/gather resources and work to set up a teacher usability team-Caryl Bigenho and crowd, Dr. Gerald Ardito, others |
| 15:52 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: I agree good plan |
| 15:53 |

re visuals: we need to ask community for "documentary" photos (Sugar in classrooms), although I believe we will also need to do one or more shoots with photagraphers |
| 15:53 |
|
in all cases we need releases to be signed for recognizable individuals |
| 15:54 |
|
photographers |
| 15:56 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, If Seso comes on board since they are in SoCal might be able to hook them up with Caryl Bigenho for photo shoot? |
| 15:56 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: wow that would be ideal |
| 15:58 |
|
anything else for now? I need to run |
| 15:59 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, If you can work on Seso contact and let us know what they are up for that will allow for planning going forward |
| 15:59 |
SeanDaly |
JT4sugar: will do |
| 16:00 |
JT4sugar |
SeanDaly, Good Luck! |
| 16:01 |
SeanDaly |

| 16:01 |
