01:05:16 <lorip> let's start with quick updates of where people are at - please use the #info tag for our meeting minutes
01:06:12 <robry> #info on track - in middle of install
01:06:30 <lorip> robry: what project are you installing?
01:06:41 <robry> Eden
01:06:50 <lorip> how's it going?
01:07:12 <lynnlambert> #info I am way behind and need to catch up by Thursday.
01:07:19 <robry> All seems fine - haven't had a chance to try to run it yet.
01:07:24 <EdMirielli> #info well I am working on finishing Part C (behind) and posting outcomes.  Selected project and getting ready to install
01:07:46 <rubyK> #info FOSS in Courses 2
01:07:51 <lorip> lynnlambert: let us know if you have questions that we can help with
01:08:13 <darci> EdMirielli: which project did you select
01:08:18 <joanna_kl> #behind, having trouble deciding on the project
01:08:25 <rubyK> I haven't selected a project yet. Working on it.
01:08:29 <joanna_kl> #info behind, having trouble deciding on the project
01:08:35 <joanna_kl> sorry
01:08:41 <StevenCrain> #info I mainly need to work on the second curriculum part. I have already worked a long time installing OpenMRS. It refuses to install because a few test cases are failing.
01:08:41 <lorip> rubyK: can we answer any questions about projects that might help you?
01:08:46 <EdMirielli> GNOME Accessibaility and specifically MouseTrap :)
01:08:56 <lynnlambert> thank you for the offer
01:09:06 <darci> joanna_kl: no worries
01:09:12 <lorip> StevenCrain: what environment are you installing on?
01:09:18 <heidie> Great! A mousetrap person!
01:09:23 <StevenCrain> Windows 7
01:09:48 <lorip> both darci & I have done that install (darci has even done it with a group of students!)
01:10:03 <lorip> do you recall where it is failing?
01:10:10 <rubyK> are any of the projects implemented in Java?
01:10:22 <lorip> OpenMRS is Java
01:10:43 <lorip> Mousetrap and Ushahidi are Python
01:10:45 <StevenCrain> It is getting exceptions trying to find some Spring resources in the test cases for saving encounters.
01:10:55 <heidie> rubyK: OpenMRS is in Java
01:10:58 <lorip> robry: what is Sahana Eden?
01:11:04 <lubaochuan_> #info I am 70% done with part C. Ushahidi will be my project.
01:11:04 <darci> Hmmm...that's a new one!
01:11:06 <rubyK> Great ! I am inclined to go with OpenMRS then.
01:11:17 <EdMirielli> heidie - thanks for the nudge -- looks like a succinct and well focused project in need of assistance, It seems cool too...
01:11:31 <heidie> Yes, very cool.
01:11:48 <heidie> EdMirielli: I can walk you through where we are in development during stage 2
01:11:56 <StevenCrain> I am doing the manual install option for core developers, not the binary-only or kit installs.
01:11:56 <robry> Eden is their response management system
01:12:25 <lorip> I'm sorry robry, I meant what language is it in?
01:12:37 <rubyK> Thanks  lorip :)
01:12:39 <EdMirielli> heidie once i get remaining homework done, i plan to install and examine a bit... hopefully I'll be basically informed on thurs
01:12:42 <darci> StevenCrain: the manual install is the option we have chosen in the past
01:13:06 <heidie> EdMirielli: Sure, pay attention to the README.md file as that is where the installation instructions live
01:13:44 <smoussavi> #info I am way behind, but I know I will be working on OpenMRS
01:13:50 <robry> The Eden system has parts in python, C++, and java (I think)
01:14:18 <EdMirielli> heidie will do - i've read basic material on the web site via your provided link and as a starting point
01:14:27 <heidie> Ah, good.
01:14:30 <rubyK> Thanks Heidie :)
01:14:40 <heidie> Stoney is also very familiar with the install.
01:15:21 <lorip> joanna_kl: are there any questions about project that might help you decide?
01:16:01 <joanna_kl> nope, I think I just would like to do too many things and at the same time I am thinking of what the students would get most excited about
01:16:17 <joanna_kl> the GNOME project seems to be the strongest candidate now
01:16:22 <EdMirielli> heidie I am focusing my new course ideas loosely around that project and some other things more general per FOSS
01:16:30 <heidie> Ah, nice!
01:17:19 <lorip> joanna_kl: in addition to heidie & stoney who have worked on mousetrap, we'll have two previous POSSE attendees in Raleigh who are working in GNOME
01:17:38 <smoussavi> Heidie: did you get my email?
01:18:02 <joanna_kl> that's great. I would love to hear some feedback from people who used those in teaching
01:18:03 <heidie> smoussavi: Of a few days ago? Yes, and I thought that I replied?
01:18:29 <smoussavi> Heidie: no an hour ago or so
01:18:32 <lorip> there was a flurry of activity - did we miss any questions?
01:19:02 <heidie> smoussavi: Ah, not yet.
01:19:05 * heidie looks
01:19:06 * lorip trying to scroll back and see what I missed
01:20:34 <lorip> ok - guess we didn't overlook any questions
01:20:52 <lorip> #topic B.1 and B.2
01:21:09 <heidie> smoussavi: I don't know what your login is, but you could look for an email from Greg Hislop.
01:21:11 <EdMirielli> I have metioned to my student that I am attending this workshop and talked about the stage 1 and 2 - this interested them
01:21:12 <heidie> It would be in there.
01:21:32 <lorip> any comment or questions on the foss field trip (B.1) or project evaluation activity (B.2)?
01:21:49 * StevenCrain Test set: org.openmrs.validator.DrugOrderValidatorTest
01:21:58 <EdMirielli> I have found them to be most curious about all we are learning and doing, so it seems this will translate well
01:22:02 * StevenCrain Tests run: 29, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.764 sec <<< FAILURE!
01:22:15 <lorip> edmirielli: that's great!  what class are your students in?
01:22:21 * StevenCrain validate_shouldFailIfConceptIsNullAndCannotInferItFromDrug
01:22:34 * StevenCrain (org.openmrs.validator.DrugOrderValidatorTest)  Time elapsed: 0.031 sec  <<< ERROR!
01:22:48 * StevenCrain org.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value: org.openmrs.Drug.concept
01:23:09 <EdMirielli> well i just talk about it in any and all classes when the opprotunity arises - we were discussing operating systems in 1 class and projects in another
01:23:11 <lorip> stevencrain - hmm, I don't recall seeing those - darci?
01:23:34 <heidie> StevenCrain: So if you have code snippets or error messages, typically it helps to put those in a pastebin or etherpad and then link to them.
01:23:42 <darci> me either...
01:24:18 <StevenCrain> Heidi: what are those?
01:24:19 <EdMirielli> i have incorporated a couple of readings in 1 class that they have to critique from an adoption/diffusion perspective about the qualitiative research used on a FOSS project
01:24:32 <lorip> StevenCrain: we will have someone from OpenMRS in Raleigh - I'm not sure if they might be helpful
01:24:51 <lorip> if not, there is a previous POSSE member we might be able to tap for help
01:25:07 <heidie> #link http://pastebin.com/
01:25:19 <StevenCrain> One of my students is interviewing with a company that makes Open Source code. I found it interesting that they asked him to demonstrate he could be productively lost in their code, just as I was learning that.
01:25:38 <heidie> StevenCrain: They're temporary places to put code or larger pieces of text so that they can be shared and read more easily than in IRC.
01:26:06 <darci> StevenCrain: funny :)
01:26:14 <lorip> we'll talk about etherpads on Thursday
01:26:31 <darci> StevenCrain: So how did he demonstrate that?
01:26:47 <EdMirielli> stevencrain that's cool - what did they do?
01:29:17 <EdMirielli> I thought B1 was very informative and guided me in looking at various dimensions of a project  - it obviously scaffold well to part B2
01:29:36 <StevenCrain> link: http://pastebin.com/F1DiwWVm
01:30:08 <EdMirielli> StevenCrian ??? what is that URL for ?
01:30:48 <lorip> those look like his install errors for OpenMRS
01:30:54 <heidie> EdMirielli: I believe it contains the error that he is getting with OpenMRS
01:31:08 <StevenCrain> They gave him a few days to look over their published open source, and then to propose something useful that he could add or enhance. They wanted a presentation describing how thier product worked, how it could be fixed, timelines, etc.
01:31:16 <EdMirielli> heidie ah -- OK related to way about thread...
01:31:59 <StevenCrain> EdMirielli: yes, my OpenMRS errors. Or some of them.
01:32:41 <heidie> Yes, it takes some multi-tasking to follow multiple conversation threads in IRC.
01:33:11 <EdMirielli> StevenCrain - check - I like the format of the task given to the student - that's the sort of thing I want to incorporate into the classroom via FOSS - project contributions too
01:34:00 <lorip> #info we will be drawing upon several of the Stage 1 activities in Stage 2
01:34:42 <lorip> #info specifically - B.1, B. 2, B.4, and C.4
01:36:30 <lorip> If you are trying to budget your time in the next few days, those will be important in the group activities we have planned
01:36:53 <lorip> questions?
01:37:29 <EdMirielli> will we further investigating our projects using B2?
01:37:53 <smoussavi> lorip: thank you for the heads-up
01:38:44 <darci> EdMirielli: yes, we are expecting to look at critical criteria for your chosen project
01:38:47 <heidie> EdMirielli: Yes, we're going to do some more hands-on project evaluation.
01:38:49 <heidie> :-)
01:38:52 <darci> and secondary criteria if time permits
01:39:30 <lorip> #topic ready for Thurs?
01:39:49 <lorip> any questions about logistics (or anything else)?
01:40:30 <StevenCrain> Was the shuttle service mentioned in the first meeting definitely what we should plan for getting to the hotel?
01:40:46 <heidie> Yes, I believe that Greg will distribute instructions on that this evening.
01:41:11 <smoussavi> sometimes, sharing a taxi is more effecient both in terms of time and cost
01:42:28 <EdMirielli> I see on the stage 2 agenda 1:30 is the leave hotel -- do you have plans for those of us who may be arriving around that time?  I can't get to Raleigh until about 1:25??
01:43:02 <lorip> #link http://foss2serve.org/index.php/Stage_2_Activities
01:43:10 <darci> EdMirielli: I would say that you want to head straight to the workshop
01:43:24 <lorip> that was going to be my suggestion
01:43:30 <heidie> Hmmm, could you all drop me an email and let me know what time you're arriving?
01:43:43 <heidie> Email please so that I can read it on my phone. :-)
01:44:04 <EdMirielli> I agree - I believe meeting is close to hotel so should be easy to find?
01:44:29 <lorip> heidie - have we provided contact numbers for people if they have questions on thurs?  or would email be best?
01:44:50 <EdMirielli> heidie - OK on travel times forth comming
01:45:28 <heidie> Yes, I'll ask Greg to include contact numbers in the email he is sending out this evening.
01:45:43 <heidie> Ah, ghislop is on.
01:47:00 <heidie> ghislop: Did you get the request to send along contact numbers?
01:47:08 <ghislop> Hi All.  I'll get an email out tonight with instructions on getting from airport to hotel and hotel to Red Hat...  I'll also include some phone numbers in case people have problems.
01:47:51 <EdMirielli> ghislop thanks!
01:47:55 <lorip> there's nothing else on the agenda - any other questions before we sign off?
01:48:34 <smoussavi> I am ok. Thanks
01:48:36 <EdMirielli> see you all soon!
01:48:49 <rubyK> sounds good. thanks ghislop
01:49:31 <lynnlambert> See you all Thursday, thank you!
01:49:42 <darci> bye!
01:49:54 <heidie> bye all
01:49:59 <lorip> ok - I'm ending the meeting - if there are any last minute questions, please contact one of us!
01:50:00 <joanna_kl> goodnight
01:50:06 <smoussavi> bye
