Checklist for each upcoming POSSE(mchua, 19:06:59)
Main planner: A single point of contact who is
ultimately responsible for the logistics of the workshop; having a
team to help is highly encouraged.(mchua,

consecutive full days.(mchua,
19:21:52)
Location : Pretty self-explanatory.
Requirements are listed at
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/HOWTO_plan_a_POSSE#Find_space
(basically, "chairs, tables, wifi with ssh and irc ports open, and
the ability to leave things in the room overnight.")(mchua,
19:21:56)
Focus What will your POSSE focus on, be it
regional, disciplinary, institutional, or some other goal? (code,
QA, documentation, design, liberal arts institutions,
Spanish-speaking contributors, etc?)(mchua,
19:22:00)
Project: Which open source community will you
be working with? This must be a community at least one instructor
has experience in, and the community the tech guru comes
from.(mchua,
19:22:05)
Instructors: At least 2 instructors and 1 tech
guru; at least 1 instructor must have prior POSSE experience
(attending or instructing). See
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_Instructors for more
details.(mchua,
19:22:09)
Sponsorship: How will expenses for this POSSE
be covered? At a minimum, instructor and tech-guru travel/expenses
(and possibly a stipend) will be needed, as well as graduation
dinner for all POSSE attendees and a handful (3-10) of local FOSS
contributors on the 4th night.(mchua,
19:22:13)
Attendees: We need a minimum of 5 attendees to
run a POSSE.(mchua,
19:22:18)
What's the list of tentative POSSEs?(mchua, 19:23:00)
Instructors - Jan Wildeboer, Mel Chua, and a
Fedora tech guru in the process of being identified.(mchua,
19:26:16)
ACTION: micadeyeye
and mchua select a tech guru for POSSE South Africa(mchua,
19:26:31)
Sponsorship - Instructor expenses have been
requested from Red Hat, and CPUT is sponsoring Thursday's dinner, so
if we have attendees the sponsorship will be approved and we'll be
all set.(mchua,
19:27:08)
Attendees - need 5 applications (and hopefully
more than 5 attendees!)(mchua,
19:27:36)
Date - Not yet chosen; we're looking into Fall
2010 as a possibility, and our go/no-go date for that is June 1st.
If it is no-go, we'll bump to Spring or Summer 2011.(mchua,
19:28:53)
Location - Not yet chosen, U of Alabama at
Huntsville proposed due to proximity to potential
instructors.(mchua,
19:29:04)
Project - not yet arranged, dependent on
instructors.(mchua,
19:31:30)
Instructors - tentatively, Harish Pillay and
Mel Chua (which would imply a Fedora-centered POSSE). No tech guru
yet.(mchua,
19:31:55)
Sponsorship and attendees - not yet
arranged.(mchua,
19:32:09)
ACTION: KageSenshi

19:33:09)
Point person: Magie Antonio, Bluepoint (others
interested in helping: Engels Antonio, Heherson Pagcaliwagan, Ray
Baquiran)(mchua,
19:35:38)
Date - Not finalized; proposed date range is
sometime in October 2010, but this is starting to no longer look
realistic - during the Filipino summer break in April/May may be
best.(mchua,
19:35:41)
Location: Not yet arranged, proposed locations
are UPD, ADMU, or APC.(mchua,
19:35:45)

Red Hat(mchua,
19:42:34)

out a target date and instructors as the first thing to focus on -

targets.(mchua,
