2010-08-23 Conference Call

Meeting Minutes for August 23, 2010

  1. Community Updates
    • OSP JIRA review status update. Chris couldn't get through anything last week, but should be able to this week.
    • Teaching and Learning (T&L) Group updates. People on T&L have been asked to create "mini-specs" that are representations of work that has already been done. In many cases they are a mix of work already done with a vision of what may come in the future. Specs written so far vary in the level of detail and the level at which they are written. Some are self-labeled "manifestos". Others are like functional specs. Goal is to make sure everyone is on the same page with what we are developing. They are creating a template for the mini-specs. Maybe links to spreadsheet and design lenses should be part of template.
    • Status updates on OSP Help UpdatesJan has four Help things that are ready for incorporation by KB people.
    • Sakai 3 General Status Updates
      • Virtual Meeting for Portfolio Visioning in Sakai 3.0Monday, 8/30 1:30 - 3? Tiffany and Noah have a conflict, but will try to reschedule. We don't know whether NYU could come. There is a potential agenda linked from Meetings page and click on Portfolio Visioning in the agenda. Michigan will write up mini-specs for the work it has done.
      • Sakai 3 ePortfolio
    • Independent OSP release cycle: action items moving forward. First week of September.
