Open Wonderland Development ( Java )

This is the AGENDA for the First meeting on February the 3rd, 2011: http://owf1.virtualnorthstar.org:8080

1. Short round of presentations (don't want to put people off so if you want to opt out, that's fine).

2. Questions about the course (structure, materials, assignments, and so on).

3. Discussion on the reading material. Any problems with the documentation, things that are not clear, etc. At this stage you should have been done with the reading for the week, which for this week means to have (at least) your own module that creates a shape and handles the mouse to change that shape.
You can think of this as a stand up meeting: the idea is to discover any problems but not to get down into discussion. Discussion can be done offline, or at another meeting with people interested in the subject (or at the end of this meeting). What I am trying to avoid is people getting stuck!

4. Discussion on projects/assignments and working groups. If you have any ideas for projects and don't want to do them on your own, now it's the time to pitch them and you might get someone else interested.

Working groups can be created at this stage, although it might be a bit early. If people get together for projects, it could be good to organise stand up meetings out of the weekly meeting times (to be decided by the groups).

5. Adjustments to syllabus and reading materials for next week.

6. Free slot for any topics that have not been covered yet.

Tips:
- using a headset will be beneficial for everyone (less echo, noise, etc.).
- we will use voice chat as the main way of communication.
- please make sure that you can log into the community server before hand.
- the meeting will take place at the develoment area. There is a sign in the main area, also a portal to go there, and an placemark in the menu.

Please do not be late!

And as usual, this is not fixed. There's people in the course with much more orgnaisation experience than me, so feel free to step in!

cheers,
José
