[sakai2-tcc] Summary - TCC - CLECC, Wednesday, May 1, 10 am Eastern Daylight/ 2 pm GMT

[Neal Caidin]

* Discussed CLE 2.9.2 status - want to get an rc02 out as soon as possible.  Talked about some specifics, etc.

* Acknowledgments - the recommendation from the group that was on the phone was to keep it really simple - just a list of institutions that have contributed to 2.9 in any significant way. I'm inclined to go with this recommendation, at least for the conference, for a number of reasons - one is because the conference is almost here and there isn't much more time to work on granularity. The discussion was around that the more granular we go, the bigger the risk of offending someone due to perceived unfairness or under appreciation, etc.  I still think it may be worth exploring greater granularity, and what metrics could be gathered, but likely to need quite a bit of vetting, discussion, etc. Plus, it is a big effort, potentially.

* Tools survey - see other TCC thread - I'm going to try and whip up a quick survey for TCC to review. It will focus only on tools in the core system that are used for teaching and learning, not administrative tools. TCC is wanting to provide a query that could be run instead of , or in addition to , to the survey to provide information on tool use.

* Jira management - just general discussion. Suggestion was made to get feedback from CLE team, which I will do. 

* Confluence cleanup- did not get to this agenda item. Will put on agenda for next TCC - CLECC meeting in two weeks (May 15).

* I will send out Doodle poll soon to see if we can find a new time to accommodate everyone. It's been a while since the last poll to pick this time and things may have changed.

Btw, meeting every two weeks is feeling about right to me. Better than meeting every week. I think once a month might be too little and would like to stick with this schedule for now, if that's okay?

Thanks,

>> * CLE 2.9.2 status
>> * Acknowledgements (Institutional) for conference. Status and how to move forward (level of detail/granularity; challenges of time [conference almost here]; identifying quantity / quality, etc).  Trying to simplify Acknowledgements so we can be ready for the conference. Still would be good to identify special key contributions.
>> * Tools survey - time permitting. See below.
>> * Jira management - ongoing feedback requested on how CLECC can best contribute to cleaning up/managing Jira.

>> Tools Survey idea
>> ---------------------------------
>> 
>> Tools Survey idea
>> 
>> Potential goals of a tools survey:
>> 
>> * Highlight tools that are available in Sakai CLE but which many in the community might not be as aware of. For example, LTI.
>> * Get a sense of the impact of stealthing or removing the rWiki tool
>> * Identify potential institutions or individuals who have an interest in helping maintain various tools (like rWiki, but could be other tools that need attention as well)
>> * Make clear the status of the Gradebook 2 tool (my understanding is that it is built on technology with incompatible licensing with CLE?)
>> * Make visible the requirements of the Assignments vs Assignments 2 tools.
>> * Get a sense of the use of Contrib tools. Again with the idea that out of this might come some additional resources for development, as well as helping to identify needs
>> * Get a sense of implicit, explicit or emerging requirements and needs overall
>> 
>> Or, as Steve Swinsburg says, maybe a simple survey will work for rWiki:
>> 
>> "A simple survey would do here:
>> 1. Do you use the wiki (y/n)
>> 2. What so you use it for (options)
>> 3. If the wiki went away, how sad would you be (really sad, a bit sad, meh, I'd just use another tool, I hate the wiki)"
>> 
>> CLECC goal is to generate conversation and strategies for information that would be helpful input to the TCC in decision making processes wrt tool needs, and to get input from the community.
