14:04:58 <ghislop> Hi all...
14:05:02 <darci> Hi!
14:05:05 <suzanne> Hi
14:05:10 <barrettk> hi
14:05:16 <darci> #topic Updates
14:05:29 <stoney> hi
14:05:32 <darci> Perhaps everyone can give an update on how things are going
14:05:54 <darci> barrettk: would you like to go first
14:05:54 <heidie> And please use the #info tag so that it gets into the formatted notes.
14:06:29 <barrettk> #info Sure.  I'm mostly through the B tasks.
14:06:30 <ChrisMurphy> I've started Part C but haven't had much chance to make progress. Will continue this weekend.
14:06:45 <barrettk> Yeah, we can all type in parallel, no?
14:07:17 <meghan_> #info I'm finished part B but haven't started Part C yet
14:07:18 <heidie> barrettk: Yes, you can!
14:07:22 <darci> Yes, sure
14:07:58 <heidie> ChrisMurphy: meghan_ This sounds good.
14:09:17 <suzanne> #info For those that don’t know me, I was in the last POSSE group and I will meet you next week.  I (with two other people I met at the POSSE group) am working on OSS labs to use in software engineering classes.
14:09:43 <barrettk> OK, I'm afraid to ask, but ... I gather that people are logging their progress somewhere, their 'wiki' page ... where is that?
14:09:51 <darci> #info Just a side note...we will be using your responses to B.4 and C.4 during the face 2 face workshop, so add as much as you can to this wiki page!
14:11:04 * darci getting the link
14:11:09 <heidie> #link http://foss2serve.org/index.php/POSSE_201411_Participants
14:11:42 <heidie> barrettk: You should have received an email with your login and password for the foss2serve wiki
14:12:17 <barrettk> OK, yeah, I'm on that, but .... there's almost nothing there.  just a one-liner that I exist, and a pointer to my blog.  Is that what you mean?
14:12:19 <heidie> And I see that you've added yourself to the participant list
14:12:53 <barrettk> ... that my course planning just goes in my blog?
14:12:59 <heidie> You also have a user page:  http://foss2serve.org/index.php/User:Bkoster
14:13:11 <heidie> You should log your progress on POSSE activities on that page.
14:13:21 <heidie> Feel free to look through what others have been doing.
14:13:24 <barrettk> oh right, yeah, I started that page ...
14:13:53 <heidie> Yup, you have content there.
14:14:52 <darci> Are there any more updates?
14:15:00 <swapneel> #info I've started part C and done a couple of parts, will do the rest today/early next week
14:15:38 <darci> Are there any questions about the activities?
14:15:44 <barrettk> Seems like we're not very updatey today, not to be critical, I'm as behind as anyone ....
14:16:16 <darci> :) Everyone is making progress...this is good!
14:16:27 <heidie> swapneel: How are you coming?
14:16:53 <barrettk> question: the Mifos instructions refer to a "volunteers" tab.  Um .... I couldn't find it.
14:17:03 <swapneel> coming? as in travel plans?
14:17:42 <heidie> As in progress on activities, swapneel
14:17:51 <heidie> Sorry :-)
14:18:21 <swapneel> ah ok :)
14:18:37 <swapneel> pretty fine.. i started with part C
14:18:53 <swapneel> did a couple of those.. will do the rest today hopefully
14:19:01 <swapneel> won't have time this weekend though, since i'm traveling
14:19:14 <heidie> Ah, good.
14:19:35 <swapneel> downloading and installing the project (ushahidi, in my case) - not as straightforward as i thought/hoped it to be
14:19:45 <swapneel> so i going to try one of the others :)
14:19:48 <heidie> :-) It usually isn't
14:20:18 <heidie> Downloading and installing the project tends to be a typical early roadblock.
14:20:23 <darci> barrettk: are you referring to the project evaluation activity?
14:20:31 <heidie> But things to tend to get easier once you're beyond that.
14:20:57 <barrettk> darci yes
14:21:22 <stoney> right… looks like the volunteer page moved
14:21:33 <meghan_> some of the links were broken for Mifos for me too. If I can remember which ones they were I will let you know
14:21:38 <stoney> is this the right one http://mifos.org/take-action/volunteer/
14:21:38 <darci> yes, i'm looking
14:21:39 <stoney> ?
14:22:01 <barrettk> OK, well, I managed to see a bunch of people 'contributing' and such, but just wasn't sure if I missed something.
14:22:14 <swapneel> yes i agree, but ushahidi seems harder than others - for version 2, git clone doesn't work  and for version 3, it's still in development so they recommend not using it
14:23:37 <heidie> Ah, OK.
14:23:53 <heidie> swapneel: Have you reached out to the ushahidi community with questions?
14:25:04 <swapneel> no, not yet.. this was yesterday evening - i was going to try it again today and see if it's changed
14:25:11 <darci> I think it is supposed to be the technology overview page...which appears to be more detailed now.
14:25:12 <barrettk> darci: we can let the Mifos ref go ... I learned something when I was poking around in it, and my sense is that all this stuff is a bit fluid (ie., the next project with have some other organization of information)
14:25:21 <darci> #link https://demo.openmf.org/architecture/#toc1
14:25:31 <barrettk> oh ok
14:25:52 <darci> Shall we move on to the next topic?
14:26:26 <darci> #topic Stage 2
14:26:35 <barrettk> darci: yes, but thanks for the link ... tons of stuff there.
14:27:24 <darci> Are there questions about getting to Raleigh?
14:27:37 <heidie> Has everyone made arrangements?
14:27:49 <ChrisMurphy> yes
14:27:51 <ghislop> #info An admin update:  I'll email everyone information about getting from the airport to the hotel and directions from the hotel to the POSSE site at Red Hat
14:28:15 <darci> Great! I was going to ask about that. :)
14:28:17 <swapneel> yes
14:28:43 <meghan_> yes, I've made my travel plans
14:29:01 <suzanne> I have too
14:29:08 <heidie> Good!
14:29:46 <barrettk> I live here.
14:30:11 <darci> Will everyone be able to meet in the hotel lobby at around 1:45 to walk over to Red Hat?
14:30:31 <barrettk> OK, so this is 1:45 Thursday?
14:30:37 <ChrisMurphy> sure that sounds good
14:30:40 <darci> yes
14:30:46 <suzanne> yes
14:31:12 <meghan_> yes
14:31:25 <swapneel> sure, sounds good
14:32:13 <darci> Okay, is there anything else we need to discuss?
14:32:31 <barrettk> Is everyone at the Marriott?
14:32:39 <darci> Yes
14:33:25 <darci> Well...I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone!
14:33:27 <heidie> I'm really looking forward to meeting you all in person!

14:33:47 <ghislop> :-) I'm laughing...
14:34:06 <darci> If there's nothing else, I'll end the meeting.
