Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the Hangout issues. The short of it is that I didn’t have the permissions to let everyone into the Hangout. I will work with the foundation to correct the issue for the next meeting.
Summary:
If you missed the meeting due to technical or timezone issues don’t worry! The main goal for this meeting was to broadly organize the working group into three sub-committees. The goal for these subcommittees is to survey the broader ROS community and build a consensus on how we should address the three core areas outlined in the agenda.
Action Items
To summarize the action items, I would like the working group to organize three sub-committees that address the following issues: educational content, educational platform , and educational sandbox (see the agenda above for details). Someone please correct me if I have these screen caps out of order:
Content Committee
@DLu has volunteered to organize the content committee.
Platform Committee
@GlenFitton has volunteered to organize the platform committee.
Sandbox Committee
@ruffsl @jackp510 volunteered to organize the sandbox committee.
Sandbox Subcommittee organizing thread is here.
@DLu @ruffsl @GlenFitton @jackp510 can you please create a short survey to collect the contact information for the three subcommittees and work with the participants to figure out how best to collaborate (e.g. Discourse, Discord, e-mail, matrix, etc)? Do you think it would be helpful to meet between now and the next EdWG meeting?
Note Taking
Managing letting people into the meeting, taking notes, an keeping us to the agenda was a lot of work.
Would anyone like to volunteer to be the note taker for the next meeting?
Next Meeting
By the next meeting I would like to have the subcommittees organized; we can continue that organizational process in the next meeting. I would like each of the subcommittees to come up with a plan to find consensus in the ROS community about their topic area. As much as possible I would like decisions made by the committees to be data driven. With this many people, I think a survey might be helpful. Would any of the committee members be willing to draft a strawman community survey for their respective committee before the next meeting? These survey’s don’t need to polished and ready to go, just a starting point for further discussion.
