1st IRC meeting
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.
