- Talked with many CS professors, lectured at a CS class about OSS and ethics in computing.
- Their professor is going to meet with Will Cohen for next steps about how they can incorporate OSS bits into curriculum.
University Tour (Jack, Max)
- Max needs to get the infrastructure side up.
- Albany is likely to be dropped, we need to find some new avenues into Stanford.
- We need a flyer, and advertising.
- Getting an update from Thinkgeek, hopefully on March 10.
Swag
- Swag continues to be a horrible bottleneck. Jack needs it for University Tour, but production and distribution is a gigantic time sink and pain in the ass.
- ACTION: Paul Frields will continue to work with Jeffrey Tadlock on Fedora Store stuff.
- Greg wants an official way of licensing the Fedora mark.
- ACTION: Paul Frields to chat with legal about easy licensing of the mark.
- ACTION: Harish will look into something for APAC.
Fedora TV
- Plumi is getting a lot of buzz internal to RH University.
- From Fedora TV perspective, the question is still "who is going to do the work?"
- Fedora TV will quickly run into space/resource issues to keep it running.
- one possibility is archive.org -- one of the minuses is that there is no "we have our own video site".
- no archive.org RPM -- you can't host it yourself.
- on the plus side, everything they use is open source.
- advantage #2 is the size of their server farm.
- they do ogg video, which was the biggest point of going through all of this in the first place.
- they have RSS feeds, and they work via Venus (which is the fork of Planet).
This week
Max
- Max will be in Amsterdam Sat March 15 - Sun March 23.
