5 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Interesting things learned |
6 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * People to keep in touch with, etc |
7 | 9 | Chris Cannam | * Actions to take (e.g. documenting outcomes on website) -- shall we post the slides? |
8 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
9 | 2 | Chris Cannam | h2. Survey |
10 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
11 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Missing areas of research - e.g. software synthesis? |
12 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Ask how much software development experience the respondent has? |
13 | 8 | Chris Cannam | * Ask what (if any) version control software they use? |
14 | 8 | Chris Cannam | * Ask whether they use any hosting services, e.g. SourceForge, Google Code, GitHub, Bitbucket etc? |
15 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Ask for general comments? |
16 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Send survey to autumn-school nominees as well? |
17 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
18 | 2 | Chris Cannam | h2. Open questions in strategic planning |
19 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
20 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Is hosting code, data etc our best approach, or are there more cost-effective, simple, effective, sustainable etc alternatives? |
21 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * What route to sustainability if we do provide hosting? |
22 | 4 | Chris Cannam | * Review selection of applications, hosting platform etc (*note:* please review Chris's "initial technical notes":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/2/initial-tech-notes.pdf and "thoughts on a repository service":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/attachments/4/repository-thoughts-may-2010.pdf presentations) |
23 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Project management (e.g. this document) -- use same platform, or something else? |
24 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Identify institutions that might be keen on closer involvement at an early stage (from the preliminary survey results?) -- test out some ideas with them |
25 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
26 | 5 | Luis Figueira | h2. Audio & Music Software Autumn School |
27 | 5 | Luis Figueira | |
28 | 7 | Chris Cannam | * Should we have a hands-on approach (eg. during the course developing and sharing of libraries and small programs within two different groups)? |
29 | 5 | Luis Figueira | * Surveys: |
30 | 5 | Luis Figueira | ** send the participants the survey before the workshop |
31 | 1 | Chris Cannam | ** make a special feedback survey after the workshop and maybe one after 3/6 months, asking if they still use the methodologies learned in the workshop |
32 | 7 | Chris Cannam | * What facilities will we need to provide? For example, will Greg be expecting us to make available a version control system, and if so will he be expecting a particular one? Should we be using this to launch the current code.soundsoftware site or is that too much of an imposition on their institutions? |
33 | 5 | Luis Figueira | |
34 | 5 | Luis Figueira | |
35 | 6 | Luis Figueira | h2. Website and web presence |
36 | 6 | Luis Figueira | |
37 | 6 | Luis Figueira | * The creation of a community is vital for the success of this project. The website has currently a quite "formal" look and feel. Maybe it would be a good idea to make it more dynamic and social network oriented. The big question here: why would people want to visit our site? |
38 | 6 | Luis Figueira | * Social networking: Twitter, Facebook, etc… -- where should we be? With what? |
39 | 5 | Luis Figueira | |
40 | 2 | Chris Cannam | h2. Other |
41 | 2 | Chris Cannam | |
42 | 2 | Chris Cannam | * Server acquisition |
