---------------

* LINK:
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_program_design#Tasks
(mchua, 19:04:20)
* mchua is behind, but will be catching up shortly (mchua, 19:04:33)
* Upcoming POSSEs (mchua, 19:05:19)
* POSSE China is coming up - the biggest issue is getting applications
from attendees. iow, people plan on attending, but we don't know
anything about them, so we can't approve them to attend. (mchua,
19:06:11)
* POSSE South Africa is looking very good, thanks to madeyeye's hard
work - it has instructors (jwildeboer and myself) but lacks a tech
guru. Anyone know a good South African Fedora hacker? (mchua,
19:06:55)
* POSSE Malaysia still needs instructors and a tech guru, but there's
a general idea of how that might happen. (mchua, 19:07:39)
* mchua is worried about POSSE Philippines and EMEA not happening this
fall because there hasn't been any news about it and the fall is
coming close. (mchua, 19:08:01)
* Other POSSE ideas: beagleboard, Santa Cruz/California, Drupal, Olin,
design, Arizona State, University of Kansas, Johns Hopkins,
Scotland, Brazil, Plone, liberal arts. (mchua, 19:08:56)
* POSSE program administration (mchua, 19:09:34)
* In terms of running POSSE, I'd love to have a professor (possibly
with a course release) to work with on this in the spring - and make
it a rotating thing, where a different professor gets a course
release to coordinate coordinators of POSSE each year. (mchua,
19:11:15)
* I'd also like to have a conversation at some point this month with
anyone who's interested in - or already involved with - doing
research on the effectiveness of POSSE, formal or informal, because
we need to get a better idea of how we're doing. (mchua, 19:12:01)
* Our trademark for POSSE is *still* in the works. Legal stuff takes a
while, apparently. :) (mchua, 19:12:43)
* POSSE infrastructure (mchua, 19:12:49)
* ctyler, quaid, ianweller, and I are hoping to get POSSE some more
solid infrastructure with a more distributed sysadmin team. Help
welcome! We target completion of the work by the end of the month,
with everything ready to roll by mid-august when school starts
again. (mchua, 19:13:40)
* ianweller and mchua are hacking on a POSSE registration app this
week in Santa Cruz (mchua, 19:13:52)
* ganderson-afk is doing some neat explorations on setting up
infrastructure *within* RIT (mchua, 19:14:10)
* POSSE curriculum (mchua, 19:17:28)
* quaid is revising the TOS textbook to be more useful as a reference
to POSSE; we'll try this in China. (mchua, 19:17:46)
* mchua needs to clear time to work through a bit of curriculum
overhaul on-list (mchua, 19:18:03)
* Open discussion (mchua, 19:18:08)

(micadeyeye, 19:21:09)
* POSSE SA's Thursday dinner will be sponsored by the IT department of
CPUT, our gracious hosts :) (mchua, 19:22:34)
