[15:00]	pierzen	HOT Training Group, 4th meeting is starting
[15:00]	pierzen	Who is present?
[15:02]	wonderchook	present!
[15:02]	pierzen	Hi.
[15:03]	wonderchook	hello, I can't say I've made any progress. Unless setting up the learnosm-coord mailing list counts
[15:03]	wonderchook	the meetings last week took all my time
[15:03]	pierzen	Plus Indonesia.
[15:05]	wonderchook	well, yeah, I'm a bit behind on that at the moment=)
[15:06]	skorasaurus	present, although only for a few, have to run to class.
[15:08]	pierzen	There are many GGIS worksheets and videos, short and often related to a specific task.
[15:08]	pierzen	QGIS!
[15:08]	wonderchook	yeah, QGIS has a lot of stuff available
[15:09]	wonderchook	LearnOSM even wrote our own
[15:09]	wonderchook	I've been practicing making videos
[15:10]	pierzen	wich tool?
[15:11]	wonderchook	just iMovie
[15:11]	wonderchook	I'm open to suggestions though
[15:11]	wonderchook	I don't remember what I used to make the original Haiti screencasts
[15:12]	pierzen	I see tools like a cicrle around cursor to hel follow.
[15:12]	wonderchook	yeah, iMovie could do that
[15:13]	pierzen	Sometimes, it is a zoom to the url.
[15:14]	pierzen	I will have a try also.
[15:15]	pierzen	Is Imovie for Apple only?
[15:15]	wonderchook	yeah, it came free with my Mac is why I'm using it
[15:15]	wonderchook	it would be good to find something to use that works across all platforms
[15:16]	pierzen	I will search for that.
[15:19]	wonderchook	so I'm looking through the training wiki page
[15:19]	wonderchook	are there specific gaps we've identified or are we not into that yet?
[15:20]	pierzen	Not there yet. nothing new added to the wiki.
[15:22]	wonderchook	ah okay, it looked better than last time I looked at it
[15:24]	wonderchook	I was wondering if you thought that live worktime would be help for organizing stuff
[15:24]	pierzen	live worktime?
[15:26]	pierzen	you mean group working thru chat?
[15:27]	wonderchook	yeah, scheduling a time to do the work
[15:28]	pierzen	Probably.
[15:29]	pierzen	Would this help to have more people to participate?
[15:30]	wonderchook	maybe, or at least might help things get done between meetings
[15:30]	wonderchook	sometimes we might get random people in helping just because they are available
[15:31]	wonderchook	I was thinking we would schedule a time you and I can do it
[15:31]	wonderchook	and then announce it
[15:31]	wonderchook	but also do a last minute all out thorugh twitter/fb/mailing lists to see if others want to assist
[15:31]	pierzen	Yes.
[15:31]	pierzen	One way would be to establish priorities from the list of audience / type of training.
[15:32]	pierzen	And start to detail stuff for a particular group.
[15:35]	wonderchook	yeah, I think that would be good
[15:36]	pierzen	For newcomers, I think that we need more detailed HowTo. Short videos would be godd for that.
[15:36]	pierzen	good.
[15:37]	wonderchook	yeah, that would be good better how to videos
[15:37]	wonderchook	maybe we should think through which are specific to HOT
[15:38]	pierzen	Yes, but to bring newcomers, we should give the basics first.
[15:38]	pierzen	And then specific to HOT, the tags, presets, etc.
[15:39]	pierzen	And surely, the task manager.
[15:42]	wonderchook	well, I was thinking with the basics teach them through stuff HOT would do
[15:42]	wonderchook	so simple things like tracing roads
[15:42]	wonderchook	and buildings for example
[15:42]	wonderchook	also, we were thinking of doing a video intro to HOT
[15:42]	wonderchook	but I would probably get a videographer to help with that
[15:43]	wonderchook	so, I was thinking of doing something similar to the Haiti video I did for tracing roads
[15:43]	wonderchook	but do a couple example locations
[15:46]	wonderchook	so pierre, I'm going to have to head out in a bit. When would be a good working time to organize the wiki more and set some goals?
[15:46]	pierzen	In general, I am free except wednesday and friday.
[15:48]	wonderchook	okay do you want to do next Monday?
[15:48]	pierzen	Fine.
[15:49]	wonderchook	okay, great. I'll make sure I have at least a hour or so to work on stuff
[15:49]	wonderchook	and I'll reach out to get some others involved
[15:50]		masti (~masti@deibp9eh1--blueice4n2.emea.ibm.com) has joined #hot
[15:50]	wonderchook	how about 11am EST?
[15:50]	pierzen	Ok for me.
[15:50]	wonderchook	cool, well on that note, I'll talk to you then?
[15:50]	wonderchook	and hopefully others
[15:51]	pierzen	ok.
[15:51]	wonderchook	okay, bye!
