makumba-comm-build — Discussion list for the community building group

Re: [Makumba-comm-build] place in the makumba website

[Anida O. <nin...@ya...>]

Hi guys!
 
I hope you all are enjoying a sunny and warm summer!
 
Regarding Adler's suggestion, I was wondering if there is any volunteer to prepare a 'www.makumba.org/community-building' page.
 
Also, are there any other suggestions/comments? I am going to send an introductory text to ITC soon (with reference only to www.makumba org, since we dont have this more specific page right now).
 
 I was also wondering to send the same letter to lbgs@.... Since not only ITC but everyone can be part of makumba community.

hi!

Anida wrote a letter that she will send to ITC to motivate ppl for the
Makumba Community :)
I was thinking that we could also start to think, at least, in one web
page for that.

I would suggest to put it in a new folder
www.makumba.org/community-building

and put an introductory text.
Inside that folder, but maybe not linked to the main page, we could
put a file "TODO.txt" with the ideas we gather in this list.

I created this folder + TODO.txt in my laptop. I can put it online if
you agree. See below the content of the TODO.txt (ideas collected from
an email from our guru :-).

Permanent tasks for the community building group:
- adding people to the makumba project
- know the "human resources"
- follow the technical discussions and try to understand them in
principle, and suggest issues for the next makumba congress
- administer the mailing lists (being in the project does not put one
in any mailing list)

- another possible task is to know the documentation, understand it,
be able to fix problems in it, and most of all, know the user and
developer opinion on the documentation

Re: [Makumba-comm-build] [Fwd: makumba funding]

[Mile R. <mil...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have added myself on this list. Please excuse my forwardness for this.

I came across the google project some minutes ago, just before
receiving this mail. I have skimmed through the FAQ and what I
understood is that Google is paying students to work on open source
projects of some organizations.
But unfortunately new organizations/mentors cannot be accepted anymore.

"Are you accepting any more Organizations into the program?

No. " they say.=20

The only chance is for Makumba developers which are students to apply
for working on other projects.

[Makumba-comm-build] idea: workshop, course, event to develop Makumba

[Adler, P. J. <ped...@gm...>]

hi!

--- IT design course/workshop ---

what about BEST, IPLab, ... organising a workshop, course, event,
whatever (master thesis) where students would
- learn about IT design patterns
- solve IT design problems (from Makumba bugs or new featueres)
- practice by doing the code

we have examples from Bart+Johannes internship, Mak Congress and
post-Mak congress with Jure

there are different levels of difficulty:
- really coding can be done with BEST members that know makumba
internals already, but maybe in other situations this can be a bit
different. E.g. ppl coming to IPLab, to Vienna (while Cristi is there
or maybe Rudi can already guide them...)
- learn about IT design and design can be half dependent of Makumba,
depends on the bug or feature

so, depending on the people available, issues, facilities, etc this
could work in different ways, i.e., according to the situations
different events can be planned.

what do you think about this?
I don't mean to do it right away, but if you like the idea if
something that can be planned

maybe we can even have a IT design competition ;)

[Makumba-comm-build] [How to] create an account in Source Forge

[Adler, P. J. <ped...@gm...>]

hi!

one of the tasks of the community building group is to handle new
memberships. So you need to know what to do... some how-to will stay
within us, others might be good to have in the makumba.org webpage.

for now, it would be good that we create the how-to refering to the
thinks we need to know.
here are some examples:
- add a member to a project
   - that person needs to create an account in Source Forge (see the
how to below)
   - one of us have to add that person to the project (how to to be done)
- fine tune other thins in the Source Forge (scheck the website
http://sourceforge.net/projects/makumba/ and see what we can do...)

in this email you can find the 1st how-to. Anyone wants to do the next one?
maybe we can just put this how-to in mak.org in a page that is not
linked from the public website...
