| 1 | +Lunch meeting September 6th: Dusty, Joe, Scott, Andrew |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +# Cirriculum |
| 4 | +Mostly finalized. A few edits are required: |
| 5 | +- Pull request #1 should be accepted. |
| 6 | +- Dusty pointed out that because of how the schedule was planned, Friday and Saturday are both required for a beginner. If they show up on Saturday only, they'll be lost. We've decided to shift a lot of the content from Friday evening to Saturday, and have it mostly be centered around workstation setup and socialization. |
| 7 | +- Joe came up with the idea of having "challenges" to partake in on Friday evening, to act as ice-breakers. Sponsors could provide prizes to these challenge winners. |
| 8 | +- Time should be considered (including scheduling of breaks) with next revision. |
| 9 | +- Dusty will be performing the required edits to the schedule. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +# Space |
| 12 | +- Mike has request in for us to use Cerner's space |
| 13 | +- Wes has offered Databasically's offices as a space, though the lack of breakout/common meeting space may be a downfall. |
| 14 | +- Andrew will contact UMKC CS department about potentially providing a space. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +# Activities |
| 17 | +- It would be nice to come up with some activities to have in our pockets (both for Friday evening's challenges and for breaks during the day on Saturday). |
| 18 | +- Node summer camp would potentially be a good resource. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +# Handouts |
| 21 | +- Speakers will be asked to develop handouts to go with their coverage of the curriculum. |
| 22 | +- Handouts should contain examples/tutorials to augment content. |
| 23 | +- Scott will create the handout for Friday evening (Getting Started). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +# Marketing |
| 26 | +- To be determined are: an official name for the workshop, logos/graphics, posters to distribute to schools and around town, and a website (if needed). |
| 27 | +- Andrew will be heading up the marketing of the workshop. |
| 28 | +- The event will be created on EventBrite, and we'll ask somewhere around $10-15 for a ticket. The ticket price will be refunded on entering (making the event free to attend). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +# Sponsors |
| 31 | +- Joe will track down potential sponsors (and follow up with them). |
| 32 | +- Github has sent us a schwagbox. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +# TAs/helpers |
| 35 | +- Dusty will be in charge of coordinating finding TAs to linger about the croud and answer questions. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +# Teachers |
| 38 | +- Andrew and Joe expressed interest in teaching/speaking on the content of the curriculum. |
| 39 | +- Scott mentioned that another group had hired teachers and taught them the content, and had those hired teachers actually do the teaching. |
