XG public procedures: wiki, mailing-list

    steph: we want to have the XG public procedures clear to everyone
    ... we started as a grass-roots group, using basecamp
    ... we are transitioning to the W3C XG procedures

    <Yesha> could someone post the URL to the "site" of the group?

    <Yesha> I logged in and it works well for me (using my w3c) account.

    <Yesha> IT IS MINE

    <sniffles> lol, thanks Yesha

    steph: we have planned an OWEA retreat already, as part of WaSP

    <Yesha> COMPAQ 1995 keyboard

    <sniffles> could you mute if you're not speaking?

    <sniffles> thanks :D

    <Aarron> There's sort of a cult following around that keybord

    <kazu> sorry to be late, now I'm listening discussion via skype.

    <sniffles> hello dave, kazu

    <sniffles> no problems

    <dave> hi

    [mauro introduces himself]

    steph: mauro, can you let us know what sort of expectations that W3C
    has?

    <sniffles> i like how shepazu summarises me so well ;)

    mauro: the most important pieces are to comply with the charter
    ... the minutes should be public and published on w3.org space
    ... and I know you're planning to use the wiki
    ... and the work should be persistent and carried on through the
    public mailing list
    ... as long as you use the those, you can use your additionaly
    basecamp tools
    ... I know this seems like a lot of extra work, but it means a lot
    in terms of public credibility and openness

    <mauro> [9]http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/

       [9] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/

    mauro: please contact me if you have any questions, I'm happy to
    help
    ... doug is pushy, so CC him, too

    <Yesha> I will need to sign out... can I quickly ask something...

    Yesha: I have a question about pointers to the curriculum
    ... we're interested in that for the University of Israel (?)

    <Yesha> can u post it

    <Yesha> :-)

    steph: we are laying the groupwork in this XG

      [12] http://interact.webstandards.org/

    steph: Aarron can point you to the resources we have now
    ... InterAct is focused on Educators' needs
    ... and Opera has 55 articles for students

    Yesha: we would like these links to be added to the page, and we
    will translate them into hebrew

    <Aarron> InterAct currently has 11 courses in first publications,
    and 15 more in the works for this year to be published in March of
    2010

    Yesha: we would created top-level summaries in hebrew, but not the
    course content

    <Yesha> perfect! txs.

    Aarron: how can we organize the wiki?

    shepazu: I use manual breadcrumbs (see example)

review breakout teams

    glenda: should we organize this on the wiki, or basecamp?

    shepazu: since the chattanooga meeting was planned before the XG was
    chartered, and had limited space, it should stay on basecamp, but
    it's up to you

    steph: poeple who are interested in attending, they should let us
    know

    <sniffles> there is room for 4 more people, but it would have to be
    out of their own pocket at this point

    <dave> when is the chattanooga meeting?

    glenda: we are designing the organization at this point, and will
    decide if we will stay in W3C at the end of our charter
    ... or create a new organization

    Dave: I'm new here, and wonder if this came out of WaSP or where?

    shepazu: a variety of places
    ... including individual companies

    glenda: WaSP, InterAct, WebDirection North Education, and others,
    but we are now all working together
    ... we want to bring everyone up to speed
    ... who is new to the group
    ... do we let everyone in who is interested?
    ... do we ask them some questions first?
    ... how have you been using this sort of thing in your day-to-day
    work? what can you offer, or what do you need?

    steph: we want to make sure everyone arrives at the same place
    ... where to we want to be in 3 years?
    ... it's very early on
    ... I'd like some expectations and outcome from this

    glenda: I'm drafting the process for new members

    Aarron: we need clear roles...

    <Aarron> [15]http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/owea/wiki/Curricula

      [15] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/owea/wiki/Curricula

    Aarron: when each person joins, we should find where they can and
    will contribute

    glenda: everyone welcome, but we would like commitment from veryone
    ... our expectations for good standing will be understanding of
    people's situations, but we do want to motivate people and set clear
    expectations

    dave: Hi, I'm Dave McFarland
    ... I've been teaching for 10 years... graduate and undergrad
    ... I've written several books, which are used for training too

    shepazu: we should all have bios

    steph: yes, everyone should put up a bio, and what you are
    interested in helping with
    ... glenda will put her membership criteria and participation
    expectations up on the wiki in the next couple weeks

    <kazu> where can I get my login info for the wiki? I'm not sure what
    "W3C Acccounts" are ... it's still closed for limited authors?

    <sniffles> shepazu, can you answer kazu's question?

    every participant should be able to edit the wiki, using your login
    credentials

SXSW 2010 proposal

    glenda: I've been working on this

    Aarron: I'm also organizing one for InterAct

    glenda: have you read the owea proposal?
    ... and should they be combined?

    Aarron: I think it's important that they be separate
    ... they need to see that a larger organization is coming together
    ... and there's a lot of material to cover

    <Aarron> Last year's panel was called "No Web Professional Left
    Behind: Educating the Next Generation"

    <sniffles> EduTF/InterAct panel proposal for 2010 titled:
    Integrate/Educate: Taking Web Standards to the Classroom

    ben: I will add a few questions

    <ben_friedman> I have the ability to record phone calls with the
    push of a button due to our fancy new IP Office setup. not sure if
    that is something that would be of value for these or other calls
    going forward but thought I'd throw that out.

    <dave> bye and thanks

    <kazu> I'm AC Rep so tried my account for W3C Member Area to login
    the wiki, but failed - maybe I'm missing something
