Agenda
- Feedback: North American Regional meeting
- OERu 2015.10 meeting
- WordPress site (Local time, IDevice background, moving to meetings.oeru.org to our multisite install, other?)
- Etherpad Lite for remote breakouts
- WP Configuration for multisite - negotiate with Jim - work out where OERu WP theme lives, and where it should be retrieved from for each instance.
- sites are using the master branch of the oeru_course theme
- BBB Test - job for AWS elastic compute instance?
- Mattermost trial? https://mattermost.nzoss.org.nz as soon as I get the domain configured and an SSL cert
- alternatives include:
- Rocket.Chat
- Zulip
- Gitter.im (including the oeru repository room)
- alternatives include:
- Wiki theme for CCANZ subset of content
- Let's Encrypt nearly ready (beta available now, if we opt-in - link (to a Google form, direct link blocked by MediaWiki spam filter :)) is here: https://letsencrypt.org/2015/09/14/our-first-cert.html )
Notes and decisions
- Don't move meetings.oeru.org to multi-site install
- Will set up Etherpad install for OERu 2015.10 meeting in SA - preferably by Friday am to prep-populate pads for virtual breakout sessions. Will use HTTP authentication (a pop-up login form) with a single set of credentials for all participants.
- Proceed with small test of BBB (initially for internal testing. I suggest we expand the test to a few "trusted" users to give feedback after international testing.)
- Keen to explore mattermost (or alternate) as possible replacement for WEnotes.
- Will advise CCANZ that we are happy to host a MW install if required.
