   7. The initial TOS accoutn password came in an email from MediaWiki Mail <webadministrator@global.proximity.on.ca> (StevenCrain, 00:18:25)
   8. Working on getting the TOS wiki accounts up and running. (heidie, 00:22:30)
   9. For me part b is taking more time that I thought, and is challended by my schedule... making progress but no posts yet (EdMirielli, 00:23:13)
   10. I'm working on the part b activities - I've done the sourceforge and ohloh parts and also the blog, will do the others tomorrow/wednesday (swapneel, 00:23:15)
   11. I complete Part A last week, and have done the field trip. I still have most of Part B to catch up on, though. Busiest time of the semester here. (StevenCrain, 00:23:38)
   12. I am making very slow progress on part B. I will be able to complete the activities by the end of this week though. (joanna_kl, 00:24:08)
   13. Baochuan finished part B of stage 1, but he is not sure about some of the answers. (BaochuanLu, 00:24:12)
   14. almost done with Part B, except writing the blog and wiki posts (smoussavi, 00:24:46)
   15. I completed part A activities. I just caught onto this IRC stuff Friday. I'm just starting on the SourceForge stuff, but I luuuuv SourceForge, so I imagine this will go ok. (Barrett_Koster, 00:25:03)
   16. I have not started part B as I did not know whether I could do it without my account. (lynnlambert, 00:25:07)
   17. I'm on track with tasks. Only problems I've encountered are not getting on TOS, could not download sample IRC logs, and I monitored two IRC for 5 days and there was no activity. Not clear if that is normal. (robry, 00:26:40)
   18. doing a lot of reading of the resource materials and project info, but I have not started writing yet. Happy that it is consistent with what I thought I knew :) (Rduvall, 00:26:50)
   19. I don't think any one thing is too much, just maintaining continuity using small blocks of time foes not work well for me personally (EdMirielli, 00:27:31)
   20. frankly I think the part b is well designed and involed - I want to get the most of it. (EdMirielli, 00:29:21)
   
   
3. Questions on stage 1 (heidie, 00:33:40)
   1. http://blog.melchua.com/2010/10/08/possesa-fri-5-minutes-of-improvisation/ is a demo of how to quickly scope out a FOSS project in less than 5 minutes, and is roughly equivalent to one of your assignments (I think). (mchua, 00:36:13)
   
   
4. Questions on stage 2 (heidie, 00:37:25)
   1. Ubuntu is fine for a platform, joanna_kl (heidie, 00:37:43)
   2. We'll get you information on exact location and room soon. (heidie, 00:38:57)
   3. we will have 1 more IRC before we meet in Raleigh - the two times will probably be Fri 11/7 or Mon 11/10 (lorip, 00:47:36)
