Meeting notes

 * 1) Dave explained the re-creation of a 'chunked' set of videos of the BBB Tutorial after the long BBB recording failed to transcode successfully. He has also created video recordings of the SKSI meeting recordings from the older BBB (speak.oeru.org) so that we have those as records for posterity.
 * 2) Wayne asked about the survey - he and Team Samoa will pull together a framing/introductory email. Wayne to prepare covering email. Will send to all participants of the 1st tutorial. Team Samoa will also distribute invitations for the survey locally via email contacts.
 * 3) Wayne talked about the handover of the SKSI/MESC servers (mesc.oerfoundation.org: course.milll.ws, school.milll.ws, forum.milll.ws, moodle.milll.ws; and bbb.milll.ws) - We'll work on initiating the transfer to dedicated staff (we need to work out who those staff will be!), long before the June end-of-contract so we can commence initiation with system admin requirements.
 * 4) There was discussion about the 2 demonstrator pilot projects (teachers creating websites for schools via school.milll.ws) and a train-the-trainers initiative using the Digital Skills for OER Sharing open online course which includes digital badges and certificate of completion. Wayne is keen to progress that, running on MiLLL infrastructure, with the aim of having teacher champions (IT admins) in the schools as points of contact to help 'support the teachers' taking the course in the future. Wayne is keen to identify some cohort-based courses (with predetermined start/end dates) for training teachers and technologists prior to the handover.
 * 5) *William mentioned their team for training teachers (TDAD) - going to Savai'i to teach teachers about Moodle...
 * 6) *William mentioned the need for internal decisions on whether the training will be non-formal or formal including discussions with relevant groups and decision makers to coordinate the activities internally.
 * 7) * Varun will review if the descriptions of the demonstrators contained in the Stage 1 report are sufficient for progressing internal discussions. We may need to develop shot policy brief summaries of the proposed pilots for internal discussions.
 * 8) Wayne is developing a new open course, "Empowered digital teacher for online learning" which provides training for the Wiki --> Wordpress publishing ecosystem which may be a valuable addition to the capacity development materials for the SKSI initiative.
 * 9) Varun mentioned the MiLLL hardware's been delivered just prior to Christmas, so we discussed the next steps and Wayne is hoping the user machines will be created as 'at least' dual-boot (MS Windows and Linux)
