[sakai2-tcc] No TCC - CLECC this week - brief summary of last week

[Neal Caidin]

No decisions made but here is a general view of what we discussed. 

Planning for 2.9.3 and beyond
---------------------------------------------------
Started thinking about a 2.9.3 release around June of this year. Discussed criteria for a release (i.e. is it date driven or driven based on a major performance issue fixed or some minor enhancements, etc. ) How to take into account the diversity of academic schedules around the world ? North America and Europe seem to be about on the same schedule. What about others?


Position Descriptions
-------------------------------
General mood of those attending was strongly against Position titles for volunteers, unless there is a clear need for a point of contact (like TCC Chair, i18n Chair, etc). 

Discussed acknowledgements: individual vs institutional. I am working on a strawperson idea for acknowledgements and plan to start that discussion in the next week or two.

Tools Survey
-----------------
Need to step back on this and think about what need(s) we would achieve through a survey. I think I have some notes on this from previous conversations so may start a new thread on this as well. A useful Tools survey could be tricky.

Cheers,

Neal Caidin

Maybe ways to help recruit, publish position descriptions on web sites, etc?
