[15:00] <peter13j> ericb2: Bon jour

[15:00] <louis_to> hi all

[15:00] <ericb2> peter13j: I'm sorry, my chineese is not enough good :/

[15:00] <Remaille> hi louis_to

[15:01] <ericb2> louis_to: Hi Louis

[15:01] <ericb2> @all, the wiki page for the IRC meetings is there : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Education_IRC_meetings

[15:01] <peter13j> ericb2: No problem

[15:01] <ericb2> all logs will be available at : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Previous_Education_Meetings_logs

[15:02] <ericb2> maintain these pages can be done by everybody. The idea is to allow people who cannot attend, to be informed

[15:02] <ericb2> + keep a trace about everything being discussed

[15:03] * louis_to is glad to see that the main page of the wiki is normal again

[15:03] <ericb2> Can we start ?

[15:03] <louis_to> yes

[15:03] * peter13j grees

[15:04] <ericb2> The agenda says : 1. Welcome people and devs joining Education project

[15:05] <ericb2> well, all people are welcome today :)

[15:05] <louis_to> :-)

[15:05] <peter13j> :)

[15:05] <Remaille> first half of point 1 : done :)

[15:05] <ericb2> I propose we proceed like that for every meeting: start with a welcome to newcomers

[15:06] <louis_to> agreed; nice friendly presentation

[15:07] <ericb2> Next point is Actions Items

[15:07] <ericb2> Action item 1 : define objectives for Education project

[15:08] <louis_to> okay....

[15:08] <ericb2> there is a proposal ( not too much changes with previous version) here : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Education_IRC_meetings

[15:08] <louis_to> do people have objections to the proposal on the agenda?

[15:08] <Remaille> no

[15:09] <louis_to> are all agreed?

[15:09] <louis_to> (please indicate)

[15:09] <ericb2> I agree what is proposed, and this can be improved later -> +1 for me

[15:09] <Remaille> +1 so

[15:10] <louis_to> same for me, plus one

[15:10] <peter13j> +1

[15:11] <ericb2> next

[15:11] <ericb2> Action Item 2: find volunteers

[15:11] <louis_to> I think the website bit is really important

[15:11] <louis_to> i can suggest pinging the dev@website team

[15:12] <louis_to> and art and marketing teams

[15:12] <louis_to> and dev@native lang

[15:12] <louis_to> also, it could be a way for students to start now :-)

[15:12] <louis_to> OOo can include the website as well as the project, say

[15:13] <peter13j> I think a common call for volunteers at dev@openoffice would be feasible too

[15:13] <louis_to> what precisely needs to be done, though?

[15:14] <louis_to> (is interested in being precise for calls to action)

[15:14] <ericb2> something more attractive :)

[15:14] <louis_to> :-)

[15:14] <louis_to> ;who wants to own this action item?

[15:14] <ericb2> louis_to: I asked the page to be statisticed ( not sure of the word )

[15:15] <ericb2> issue 83437

[15:15] <IZBot> www DEFECT NEW P3 Follow education.openoffice.org stats http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=83437

[15:15] <louis_to> :-)

[15:15] <louis_to> uhm.

[15:15] <louis_to> eric, that seems different

[15:15] <louis_to> that's to track hits to the page and is a collabnet issue or a Sun one, not improving the appearance of the page(s)

[15:16] <louis_to> Id' suggest a new issue focused on this

[15:16] <louis_to> or simply just ask someone to do it ...

[15:16] <louis_to> either one

[15:16] <ericb2> louis_to: I agree, this is orthogonal, but complementary

[15:16] <louis_to> agreed.

[15:16] <louis_to> so, new issue and does anyone want to own it?

[15:16] <ericb2> rbircher proposed to work on the website revamp

[15:16] <louis_to> cool!

[15:19] <louis_to> AI: rbircher to lead website dev (or ask him anyway) and others too ---and erci or louis issue call to action today for website dev interest to dev@ooo, nlc, marketing, website, art@,

[15:20] <ericb2> louis_to: you mean file an issue, as a task ?

[15:20] <louis_to> dunno. probably, as it will help rbircher and you and me

[15:20] <louis_to> and others can participate with it

[15:21] <louis_to> so, yes.

[15:21] <louis_to> we can decide now who will issue the call--I can do it, if you like--

[15:21] <ericb2> louis_to: please do if you want :)

[15:21] <louis_to> and we can contact rbircher on the list

[15:21] <louis_to> :-)

[15:21] <louis_to> okay, will do
