education team meeting, September, 10
This was a rather short meeting due to late invitations send by Rita.
Randy told us that the Northern Virginia Home Education Conference, is reallyan excellent conference with about 4000 attendees. He will get information on how we could participate (propose a paper etc.).
On Saturday, September 19 is Software Freedom Day in Melbourne, where Tansel Ersavas will give an Etoys talk. We will gather material on the wiki that people can print if going somewhere and advertise Etoys. Tim will prepare the advertisement page so that it can be used (mostly remove Squeakfest notice). W will ask the community for material.
Tim told us how the ranking process on the showcase will work. We discussed how projects will be ranked by individuals and if/how to give feedback. We decided that everybody should decide, if he/she wants feedback when uploading a project. That would lower the burden of the reviewer (when opted out). Feedback should be encouraging.
