Thanks Steve, Sue and Dave for sharing your ideas today. I was only able to record
15 - 17 minutes of it before we realized the software we were using may have been
causing our audio problems. Thus the recorded part of our first conversation is short
but here it is anyways.
Note: due to the storage restrictions on the free wikis,
I have uploaded it on my other wiki space.
Our next Skypecast is set for next Sunday, September 30th at the same time.
Winnipeg, Chicago - 4 pm
Toronto - 5 pm
London - 10 pm
The link to the skypecast is here.

We tried for a meeting at the times noted above but it didn't quite work out so we postponed until 8pm Central/9pm EST at which time, John and Sue connected. Here are the topics we covered:
-were sorry to see Dave has had to back out of the committee :-(
K12 Wiki
-Decided to "go live" on Thursday Oct. 4th by posting a blog notice on the K12 Online Conference Blog at http://www.k12onlineconference.org/
advertising the k12onlinehelpdeskATgmailDOTcom email address and making the wiki publicly available as of 8am (Central) on Thursday.
-We have started a draft blog post Blog Announcement Draft.
-Will invite conference convenors (and anyone else) to update the wiki over the next few days as a last push to get ready for the launch. There are many 'holes' that need to filled. Please go to http://k12onlinehelpdesk.pbwiki.com/ and use gok12go for the password
-Created a "real-time" helpdesk on the wiki that involves two PBwiki plug-ins - Gabbly talk and YackPack.
Next Meeting - Thursday October 4th at 10pm EST/9pm Central - John will set up a Skype Cast but in case that doesn't work - call him on skype at joevans12
skypecast will be here. (Meeting changed from Wednesday night, unfortunately, Jen will not be able to attend)
Items for discussion
-Front page...should we move the tools section to it own page? I'm thinking that it may not be the First reason people come to our site.
-must complete review Blog Announcement
-follow up on Presenter emails
-Steve reports back from Convenor's meeting
-make/review list of Quick Tips that each person could write (assign days for each person's postings?)
-Remove specific support for each strand section on the SideBar and attached pages? since they are not being used
-Need to assign one help desk person to record and then 'reformat' Elluminate sessions for distribution after the event. Live Events:
-Question from Darren:
Also, we are adding a twitter feed (badge) to the bottom left corner of the conference blog for people to see the questions asked and answered there even if they don't have a twitter account. Or do you think it would be a better idea to have the gabbly window there for live support ... then again, the gabbly window will make the help desk wiki feel more like a live space. What do you think?
- what should we do about the fact that the PBwiki is not available in some places such as China?
-Lastly... are we ready to go live?
