1st IRC meeting

Apr. 22 2010, 1400 UTC

Agenda

As Jeff suggested, we will try to fix a calendar for the next important steps:

  • Plan for a deadline for presenters to provide full software requirements (versions etc)
  • Deadline for submitting materials
  • Plan for the machine setup

Decisions made

  • Make a wiki page to track all of the meetings (this one).
  • Create OSGeo FTP account, where instructors will put materials. One folder each workshop, with three subfolders: software; install and testing instructions; print materials. (Jeff McKenna's task).
  • Deadline for software and materials: 5th July. (August is specially improductive @ Spain).
  • Virtualbox client will be installed in all computers.
  • LOC should be aware that there's a need for 1 volunteer per classroom (access control, materials delivery), and handy technicians from the university during workshops.
  • LOC should decide on budget for tutorial printed materials.
  • Tutorials as hands-on experiences, with participants bringing their own laptop/netbook, don't succeed. It is better that tutorials are conceived as extended presentations, that can be followed without the software running in own's machine.
  • Oscar Fonts proposal: Try to use local geodatasets. Local volunteers are needed. Make a call @OSGeo-es and see.
  • Next meeting will be in a week +2 hours, so Eastern Canada people can participate.
