[sakai2-tcc] Educause - Re: Summary - TCC - CLECC call, Wed, Jan 16, 10 am Eastern, 3 pm GMT

Fri Jan 18 07:54:37 PST 2013

One of the things I just remembered was Educause. The comment about multiple TCC members submitting a proposal was for Educause, not Apereo Conference.  

I'm not sure if this referred to one of the regional conferences - http://www.educause.edu/conferences-events/regional-conferences

or if it is for the annual conference - http://www.educause.edu/annual-conference

Remember the intention is to have extra eyeballs on the Jiras and create movement. Often first steps might be asking the reporter of the issue if it is still relevant. If it is still relevant, delegate to somebody who is an expert or ask the CLE or Dev lists for advice. Discovery (finding out the status) -> Delegation. Beyond that, are folks finding the documentation -

Based on feedback, I'm thinking I might try a short live demo off of my Mac running 2.9.0 and show a very short demo of Lessons. This could also cover the Portal. Then I'll switch to Powerpoint go cover other functional areas.  As a backup, I'll have screen shots of Portal and Lessons in my Powerpoint, probably stealing some from Chuck S. , who has already given his blessing. I may touch on 2.10, but since we don't know much, there is not a lot to tell.

> This is where it hurts that I don't take notes. The suggestion was that the TCC submit a presentation on Sakai CLE with many names on it, so whoever is going can present. There was also a discussion about making CLE a central gem in the Apereo conference crown (okay, I'm making up that metaphor right now, but you get the point). I'm not sure how we make this happen, but I am on the program committee and happy to advocate where I can.  Oh, I remember now. Maybe someone with a community coordinator role can reach out to various institutions to encourage them to submit proposals for presentations (I want to make a joke with a mafia reference but somehow it seems lame).

The idea is "matchmaking" schools with similiar interests. I will take an action to help push towards some next steps on this. This is where my memory is foggy. I think we were going to brainstorm themes folks might have an interest and try and find an online tool to capture ideas and solicit the community to review those themes, add more, sign up, etc. Am I missing anything here?

Fundraising, like what U of Florida is doing for the mobile effort, might be a model that is a tangible way to engage community for expansions to CLE and tie it to resources to get the work done. This is an early idea, and there may or may not be momentum to have a tangible activity around this at the conference.

Pen team discovery of Security issues, being addressed quickly, need some verification before merging. Schedule for 2.9.1 hard to predict (though I would hazard a guess of late February).

Open to suggestions of key points.

I mentioned in a previous email a couple of ideas: identifying schools who are doing local customizations to engage in community discussion; What about a requirements gathering session for 2.10 (getting users in a room and watching them use 2.9, etc)? Other thoughts?
