Notes
(from OLPC Line #3)
Apparently there was confusion on which conference line to use. Because a conference host was missing on OLPC line #3, it was not until 01:40 pm EDT that we got the conference line #3 open (thanks to getting the host PIN from Mika, who had no phone access).
Our apologies to all of you who tried to attend.
At 01:40 only Chris Leonard was online with Frederick Grose. We had a good chat as noted below:
- We talked about our limited understanding of the software and network infrastructure for enabling 'content'. I suggested we look at the Library activity as one model. We agreed that being able to tag content with meta data, like regional applicability, would be highly desirable. I believe that the upcoming revisions to the Journal data store will make tagging easier. For the Animal Health project, for example, it would very helpful to allow communities to find information specific to their geographical environment.
- (Subsequent thought: Wondering if there is a zoning taxonomy, like the Hardiness zones used for plants, that might be suitable for the Animal husbandry information.)
- Chris shared the idea that we could benefit from having a template cover letter to help open the doors for recruiting new participants, especially those subject matter experts who are not familiar with the open source technology culture. He plans to post some draft work on our Health project wiki.
- I suggested that having specific projects described (like Animal health) were valuable concrete examples to attract interested recruits from broader communities. Approaching 4H chapters and agricultural extensions may lead to more volunteers who see the potential benefits. It should also be attractive to those deployments in agricultural communities (consider those confronting bird flu, for example).
- Chris shared some links to http://orbis.org/ for potential consultation for the Vision screening project, and http://oercommons.org/ for review of other open education resources and examples.
- We talked about getting critical subject matter and project advisory help for the Health project, and decided we should publish a parallel to the 'Ask OLPC a Question' page for the Health project. Perhaps, a 'Health project advisory page' with a section for the Advisers specifically, but also a place to grow an 'OLPC Health FAQ' for all current and potential participants. I offered to draft such a page. (page since deleted)
