[edit] Current status

We are definitely go for POSSE CA. We have a hosting commitment from Red Hat in Mountain view.

There will be one. (Not two.) It will be CS-focused.

We'll use Fedora as a foundation, but if Alolita can get a Mozilla person in for a week (or someone from another project, etc) we'll tilt the flavor that way to get some diversity into the projects with POSSE experiences.

Date: 05 to 09 July

Room: everyone will bring their own laptops (laptop cart == bonus points, so we can install stuff ahead of time and attendees don't have to worry about it), room needs movable tables + chairs, whiteboards, projector.

Next check-in: Monday, 8am CA time, 11am BOS time, #teachingopensource.

One thing we didn't bring up, in case it matters: attendance cap I'd like to set at 30, since there are 3 of us we can handle a larger class than normal.

  • teaching load: sit down and divide things up, adjusting syllabus as needed
  • Participant recruitment: Once back, Karsten and Alolita can meet with profs at various campuses for them to participate. We should put together a list of campuses
