Meeting Notes
Hack Day
Thoughts on the last one
- Not enough people to justify having a whole lab
- For now we will be holding it in the Linux Club which has the added benefit of allowing food and drink
- If the situation changes in the future (we hope it will), we will move somewhere bigger.
Advertising
- Things to do in the future
- Flyers
- Ask the student council if we can get these printed at zero cost (Phil)
- Ask David if he can print them for us
- Ask Dave Manley if we can use his logo for them
- Put an announcement on My.Seneca (Vanessa)
- Put an announcement on the TVs around the school (Vanessa)
- Send an e-mail to all the CS profs asking them to tell their students
- Talk with non-CS profs about informing their students (GAS, arts, etc)
- Make a point of telling DPS909 students that we are feeding them to do their homework
- Flyers
Future Events
- We'd like to invite non-CS students as well. To do things like Bug Triage, Litmus, etc.
- People without a specific project could do those as well if they want to
- We will be having Super Fun Hack Day every Tuesday for the rest of the semester (not including exam week)
End of Semester Party
- December 15, 2006
- Starts after BSD exams are over (someone update this with the time please)
- Ends around 6
- At the Hive
- See if it's available (Phil)
- Pop/chips/crackers will be provided
- First 2 cans are free, then $.50 each
- We want to play video games on the TVs
- Can we hook up 1 system to each TV? (Phil)
- No alcohol at this event
Wiki Page
- The wiki page has not been updated nearly enough
- Phil is in charge of updating the main page
- Ben will be posting meeting notes
Web Stuff
- Contact Mozilla about obtaining an @mozilla.org address (Liz)
- We still need to decide exactly what we want it to be
- Contact Mozilla about getting webspace from them (Liz)
- Need to decide what the subdomain would be
Event Ideas
- We would like to start helping out with Internationalization
- Brian Perry is involved with these. We would like to speak with him more about it
- We plan to invite him to a meeting to tell us what exactly he does and how we can help (Tom)
- Test Days/Bug Triage Days
- "Get to know us" day at the start of the semester
Future Meetings
- Open to everybody
- Advertise them on the website and wiki, maybe an optional mail reminder
- Ben: See if Wedneday meetings will work
- Update: Yes, Wednesdays at 6:30 are fine - bhearsum
- Meetings for the rest of the semester will be held at 6:30pm on Wednesdays in the Linux Club
- Meeting notes will be posted online from now on (Ben)
- Anyone with a gmail account should send Ben their e-mail address to receive Google Calendar events.
- Should there be a Club Moz calendar?
Post-Mortum of Events
Firefox Party
The Good
- It turned out very well despite lack of proper planning
- Much was learned
The Bad
- No plates, napkins, serving trays
- No water, no non-junk food
- It was tough to get people to come upstairs to the party
- The security guard wasn't nice
- People couldn't bring up their alcohol
- Giveaways were not stored in a secure place. People grabbed them up without permission
The Future
- Inform any non-club people (Hive staff, security, etc) what they should be telling people
- IE. Not "You can't go upstairs"
- Make a party checklist (Phil)
- Food/drink required
- Things that will be given away
- Things we need access too
- Maybe make it a form that we fill out before-hand so we don't forget anything
- Make sure we request everything we want in advance, specifically with SSF
Long Term Ideas
- Maybe change from the "Mozilla" club to the "Open Source" club
- Promotion of club early next semester to increase volume of participation
Misc.
- Get people started on small Mozilla projects to get them involved with the community
- Get people within the community (former DPS909 students probably) to help out and mentor new people
- We still have a lot of food and drink leftover from the Firefox party. We decided to store it in lockers until we use it up
