=== 1a. distributed responsibility of handling the whole process ===

* no single lead, but pursue as group activity
* declarations of interest for specific aspects:
  ** Maria Keet for structuring and planning of the series
  ** Maria Keet for input on restructuring talks

=== 1b. format(s): with much liberty ===

* agreement on self-standing, cherry-pickable units
   (rather than a course of interdependent "modules")
* default duration: 10-20 minutes, deviations possible
* apart from that much freedom
   (e.g., frequency, live vs. pre-recording, technical setup)

* scope: 2 major lines considered
  ** research-oriented education in Applied Ontology (Post-Grads, PhDs)
  ** training for industry/business ontologists

=== 1c. quality assurance ===

initial discussion on Mar 24 on how to guide presenters and ensure quality
* some, yet limited control via abstract/short descriptions of the topics
* who shall decide what goes online in the series?
* handling of positions possibly in conflict with other communities?
* handling of controversial views?

=== 1d. two-stage approach to gathering videos ===

* initiating phase with invited presenters, leading to first units
* open call/request for volunteering presenters

=== 1e. thoughts on initial webinars ===

* presenter candidates named in n.44:
  ** Kit Fine
  ** Nicola Guarino
  ** Achille Varzi
* mixed approach of presenters desired
   (between community grandees and newcomers)


== 2. webinar series: continue brainstorming ==

=== 2f. terminology and acronym ===

* "webinar" correct for all planned events?
* "webcast" fitting, too?

acronym proposals:
* ESAO - Educational Series on Applied Ontology
  ** does not fix a format
  ** acronym close to ISAO - Interdisciplinary School on AO


== 3. updates on EduTC technical resources ==

[1] Trac issue tracking and wiki
     https://trac.iaoa.org:777/edutc

[2] Public wiki area within IAOA Semantic MediaWiki
     https://wiki.iaoa.org/index.php/Edu:Home


== 4. next meeting(s) and AOB ==

* 4a: proposals for a default meeting time and rhythm?
  ** FL consideration: target a 4-week-rhythm, 2 weeks before Doodle poll

* 4b: next meeting -> week starting on Apr 19?

=== 4c. checking open action items ===
