General Agenda Items and Proposals

PLEASE COME TO THE MEETINGS PREPARED.

This means:

  1. If there is an issue for the project add it to the agenda.
  2. Agenda items then should be discussed "informally" on #ubuntu-learning or using the mailing list.
  3. Ideally, meetings then are for decision making, project votes.
  4. Agenda items that require more then 5 minutes of discussion may need to be deferred.

Mission Statement: IMHO we need to reword the Mission Statement as it is too narrow and does not meet the goals I had for the project

cprofitt

Goals: I think we also need to evaluate the goals of the project and draw up immediate goals, short term goals and long term goals.

cprofitt

Structure: Since this team is combining the efforts of several different teams I think a board should be setup for the leadership structure. There has been no discussion on this, but I think it is critical for continued teamwork and project cohesion

cprofitt

Meetings: Determine a 'best' time schedule for meetings.

details on agenda topics

  • Mission Statement:
    • "Our mission with this project is to create an interactive learning environment based on Moodle to support new users becoming more engaged in the Ubuntu community. Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into contributing members of the community."


      I would like to reword this so it is not too narrow in focus. A simple mission statement would be:

      The project is focused on building and maintaining an interactive learning environment(s) to support all aspects of the Ubuntu Ecosystem. - combined effort of doctormo / pleia2 / cprofitt

  • Goals:
    • On Current Page:
      • Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into contributing members of the community.
      • Our initial goal is to provide four programs for the new user, the sysadmin, marketing, and a stream for someone who wants to contribute to Ubuntu.
    • Suggested:
      • to produce courses that make it easier for organizations and users to adopt Ubuntu as their OS
      • to provide courses for users who wish to advocate for Ubuntu adoption (examples below)
        • GIMP
        • IRC moderation / channel management
        • Live Streaming Video w/ Ubuntu
      • etc.
  • Structure:
    • The structure of this team has not been discussed. I think one of the steps that need to be addressed is the structure of the team. In oder for cohesion to be maintained I think that some form of board should be formed involving the various teams that will be participating in the project. With or without a board some roles and responsibilities should be determined (assigned) as well.
  • Meetings:
    • We need to determine when the majority of people can meet. Weekends are not a good time for most people. I would like to suggest 23:00 GMT every other Friday while we are building steam, but I am open to other suggestions.
