SKSI/MeetingNotes/2021-12-22 Meeting

Present: Roland, Varunesh, William, Wayne, Dave

Wayne requested debrief on last week's Tutorial for building a BBB instance. He also explained the issue with compiling the recording.

He also requested discussion on future tutorials (e.g. for next year) and running our survey of the Samoan IT community.

Roland suggested that we could run a survey of tutorial participants to see what their reflections are... Wayne asked Dave if he has ideas for future tutorial topics:


 * refinements to BBB implementation like
 * backups for data/recordings and the database
 * update process, and
 * ancillary capabilities (e.g. converting recordings into videos)
 * creating/maintaining
 * a MailCow instance
 * a WordPress multisite
 * a Discourse instance
 * a Moodle instance
 * how to create a WordPress subsite (e.g a course or a school site)
 * we can have ad hoc Linux sysadmin question and answer sessions, too...
 * we could do a "what is Linux, and how does it differ from what most people know (i.e. Windows)?"

William asked about the BBB server for MiLLL - Dave will provide admin access to https://bbb.milll.ws for William and Nehru.

Wayne flagged that we need to plan the server admin handover for the MiLLL server - we should get MESC (and other?) users set up.

William said MESC have a new ACEO role for a person dedicated to leading the MiLLL project. In future everything will go through that person.

Dave asked if anyone had 'back channel' feedback from the tutorial last week. William said that he'd heard that a few people a) would've preferred to work along with the tutorial on their own virtual server, or b) they found the tutorial moved too fast due to their lack of basic familiarity with Linux in general.

William noted that Samoan gov't will be taking a 2 week break. Wayne will adjust the meeting schedule so the next scheduled meeting will fall on 12 Jan (Dave might not be available)...
