Monday

• Weekly CommArch call-in
• Dropped Jono an email to find out how we can help with CLS (Mako doesn't know either.)
• Got swag donated for POSSE! O'Reilly rocks!
• Chatted with Sebastian to make sure we are set with the Edu SIG and POSSE spin.
  • Both those pages have been overhauled pretty substantially. I plan to use them as examples of good - or at least becoming-good - wiki pages later.
  • The spin has also been blogged.
  • And announced on the POSSE list for feedback.
  • Also, can I say again that Sebastian is awesome?
• responded to all the RH intern feedback on POSSE. Yay more leads!
  • Does anyone have access to a paper called A managerial overview of open source software by Sandeep Krishnamurty? It was recommended by the MBA interns.
• took a quick pass/listen through what's happening with Fedora docs/marketing to get context for website work.
• read Karsten's and Greg's book (outlines) over lunch. Next pass will contain commentary.

Tuesday

• edits to Greg's edu strategy slides
• fold this and this into notes on this - proceeding slowly as I learn my way around.
• followed up with Marsee on POSSE swag. Yay O'Reilly! (Yes, I'm doing a lot of rejoicing. I have a lot of happiness. Get used to it. ;)
• inbox zero! inbox zero! ahahaha! (This will last... about 2 minutes.)
• lunch with Mo; talk Fedora website - see notes here and here
• and then introduced myself to the website team, and otherwise joined it (except for group membership, which I will request as soon as I have actually Done Something Real.) (Update: actually, I think I'm moving fast enough to ask for this. Done.)
• started edu sig spin production work with Sebastian. (oi, I want momentum to build faster here...)
• made some wiki shortcuts to get around easier, shared them
• got the edu sig's pages into (what I think is) wiki standard goodness, see Talk:SIGs/Education#Following_wiki_standards - asking ianweller to take a look and see if it's done right, also sent to edu sig and wiki team.

Wednesday

• Greg's slides on edu strategy, again
  • and again
  • and again (but really, I think I'm done now)
• more website conversations
  • attacked tasklist with Ricky. now with actual useful information!
  • met Mark - pinning down a first shot at a concrete goal and a first round of deliverables to move towards them
  • update meeting scheduled for Fri 1800UTC #fedora-websites, future meetings being scheduled
  • websites game plan drafted, in many conversations, slowly being filled in as bits and pieces by other people... ;)
• prep for POSSE call tomorrow
• Greg beat me on following up with Kara on POSSE press, but watching that ready to ping again if needed
• played piano like a maniac - first jam session of the summer!

Thursday

• another overly ambitious "hey Kara, here are lots of academic publications!" email...
• POSSE chat with ctyler, humph - logs sent to posse2009 and commarch list. We're looking good; there are no blockers that aren't en route to being totally fixed by next week.
  • followup with mmcgrath on VMs
  • followup with Kim/Colby on brand/video presence (again, Greg beat me to this, dammit ;)
  • POSSE update to planets TOS, Fedora
• commarch has gotten website updates (I still have to make sure the websites wiki reflects these... will just do that at tomorrow's meeting since there'll be more updates then)
• email
• ...geez, what else did I do today? I guess I didn't do a great job of keeping track today.

Friday

• learn how to do expense reports (hooray)
• do that for July flights, too
• package edu spin bookmarks in order to (1) learn packaging and (2) prod edu sig members to jump in
• Karsten/Greg book-readin': now with commentatin' action.
• websites "meeting"
  • websites wiki page should be shiny and updated
  • Make sure Websites meetings start, Design team sends (or gets) a rep to that meeting
