[15:19] <ericb2> 2. Organize a cycle of IRC presentations, mainly development oriented
[15:19] <ericb2> The idea is organize weekly ( or not far ) IRC meetings
[15:19] <ericb2> about development
[15:20] <ericb2> Currently, I have 7 topics in mind, and I'm waiting for confirmation
[15:20] <ericb2> 3 guest have confirmed already, over 7
[15:20] <ericb2> The topics will be (the one I'm ~sure) :
[15:20] <ericb2> - Tinderboxes Guest : Christian Lohmaier
[15:21] <ericb2> - OpenOffice.org source code scheduling Guest: Martin Hollmichel
[15:21] <ericb2> - GSL project Guest: Phiipp Lohmann

[15:21] <ericb2> - Extensions project Guest : Juergen Schmidt

[15:22] <ericb2> other people I'll ask are Calc ( Eike Rathke ) , Debug OpenOffice.org ( Caolan McNamara ), Bridges ( Daniel Boelztle ) ...
[15:22] <ericb2> The idea is :
[15:22] <ericb2> - code oriented
[15:22] <ericb2> - present the most important topics about OpenOffice.org development,
[15:22] <ericb2> - use IRC ( #education.openoffice.org for instance ) for the presentations
[15:22] <ericb2> - the presentation will be 30 to 40 min followed by 20 min of questions, on friday afternoon (prefered)
[15:22] <ericb2> - provide the logs and propose them as archives for the community
[15:22] <ericb2> Questions ?
[15:25] <rbircher> Good idea
[15:26] <ericb2> no suggestion ?
[15:27] <sankarshan> If we make this into "classrooms", blog about it, I am sure we are going to get more folks interested
[15:27] <sankarshan> classrooms can generate living content which gets updated and the teachers and students bond
[15:27] <sankarshan> this is a simply nice ideas
[15:27] <ericb2> sankarshan: may I ask you to organize with me ?
