Results: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/OSCON_2010 in hopefully 
easier-to-contribute-to format. Folks, start putting those proposal 
drafts in...

Thinking-out-loud in #teachingopensource log below.

00:45:29 < mchua_vmtest> Okay, I'm sorting through the panel ideas to 
get a sense of what needs doing.
00:45:42 < mchua_vmtest> I'm starting to get the impression that we've 
got a lot of folks missing
00:45:55 < mchua_vmtest> i.e. a long "we should invite these people to 
submit talks" list of people who presumably have not been invited.
00:54:13 < mchua_vmtest> We have a lot of known blank spots that need 
recruiting-for (esp. having companies that aren't RH talk - need to poke 
Leslie about doing Summer of Code, maybe humph about doing Mozilla, etc)
00:54:21 < mchua_vmtest> and there's a giant blank spot called "K12"
00:55:12 < mchua_vmtest> which is currently filled with "OLPC" and 
"Sugar Labs" - both without concreteness, one without an owner, and 
none with any "here's what has been done in actual classrooms like the 
ones you may be used to, in ways you can directly start helping with 
now" things
00:55:55 < mchua_vmtest> TOS is uni-level focused, but do we also want 
the  track to be this way?
00:56:04 < mchua_vmtest> open question. if we don't, we should reach out 
to k12 groups right now
00:56:08 < mchua_vmtest> maybe the k12 open minds folks
00:56:21 < mchua_vmtest> and get them to do a portion on their realm.
00:56:47 < mchua_vmtest> Ok, sprint time over - basically, I cleaned up 
tonight and got an overview of status/balance
00:56:51 < mchua_vmtest> and we need a lot of work. ;)
00:56:52  * mchua_vmtest out
