[00:09] zkriesse: I wrote them on the wiki [00:09] # Help new users to learn a new programming language # When there is a group with a better knowledge, the dev focus group can work on developing application (Small or Big Projects) that can benefit Ubuntu [00:10] Others (Still Thinking) [00:10] zkriesse, what nobler goal if not the publicizing and distribution of knowledge? :) [00:10] o/ [00:10] very good response pedro3005 [00:10] nhandler, Go [00:10] :) [00:11] Silver_Fox_: I just got here, nothing to say right now (still reading scrollback) [00:11] So thats the idea for the dev FG [00:11] Ah righto :) Well we decided to crack on nhandler [00:11] o/ [00:11] Go duanedesign [00:12] the council has been discussing lately the 'mission' of each FG and the setting of goals by each group/ [00:12] I like diegos idea [00:12] Ok [00:13] i think the teaching of classes is something we could couple with the eduFG [00:13] if we could have classses in #ubuntu-classroom [00:13] duanedesign: the edu had worked with classroom -- but the focus was on off-line self-paced courses [00:14] we had a Moodle server that leveraged wiki docs and forum posts [00:15] i think in addition to what DiegoTc said the DevFG should start working towards getting its members to be MOTU's [00:15] * DiegoTc there is expectation on the channel :p [00:15] Okay, so do we have an item to vote on or not? :) [00:16] Was it an announcement DiegoTc ?
