> === 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 ===
> 
> tasks from n.44:
> 
> [12:25] [action] [LV] establish a branch in IAOA's internal wiki for 
> joint work during the meetings
> 
> [12:25] [action] [FL] setup the Doodle for the next meeting
> 
> [12:27] [action] [LV,FL+??] start a wikipage on first candidate lectures 
> with presenter, scope and target audience
> 
> [12:28] [action] [LV] consider moving forward the clarification of which 
> technical basis to use
> 
> 
> [10:09] anonymous morphed into Sandra

> 
> [10:23] FrankLoebe: LV: on < 1e. > : it may be missing that Maria Keet

> 
> [10:23] FrankLoebe: ES, LJ: possibly in combination with existing material
>

> [10:25] LaureVieu: Elisabetta Jezek
> 
> [10:26] LaureVieu: Others were shared with the conceptual modelling 
> summer school: Giancarlo Guizzardi, Enrico Franconi
> 
> 
> [10:30] FrankLoebe: FL: I suggest to distinguish between (1) the 
> material that is produced ("Teaching units" = likely videos, in most 
> cases) and available in an archived form for self-education and (2) 
> webinars/sessions accompanying the presentation of new material (incl. 
> creation via live sessions)
> 
> 
> [10:31] anonymous1 morphed into Robert Rovetto
> 
> 
> [10:32] FrankLoebe: SL: a description of the plans in some form of 
> document would be useful
> 
> [10:32] FrankLoebe: LV: +1
> 
> [10:32] FrankLoebe: FL: yes, not only in the form of minutes
> 
> [10:33] FrankLoebe: LV: the wikis may be used for that
> 
> [10:36] FrankLoebe: < discussion on test cases of creating accounts, as 
> registration doesn't seem to get completed >
> 
> [10:37] FrankLoebe: issue: accounts are created, but registrants don't 
> get any messages, but error screens (or nothing happens)
> 
> [10:37] FrankLoebe: [action] [LV] get in touch with sysadmins to resolve 
> the issue
> 
> [10:38] FrankLoebe: issue: logging in is not possible, the login request 
> appears anew
> 
> [10:39] FrankLoebe: < this is item 3. by now >
> 
> [10:40] FrankLoebe: LV: registration issue with the public wiki is not

> 
> [10:40] FrankLoebe: LV: should be solved in 1-2 weeks (as a test 
> mediawiki will be required to try things out)

>       f. series terminology and acronym
> 
> [10:45] FrankLoebe: FL: < explained what he meant by the heading of 2a. >
> 
> [10:47] FrankLoebe: LV: two questions on that:
> (1) How does it relate to chairing the EduTC as such?
> (2) Is this decision-making as problematic as e.g. for writing a 
> textbook jointly?
> 
> [10:55] FrankLoebe: FL: on (1), I'd continue with the meetings, trying 
> to have the series matters first, then additional issues of the EduTC
> 
> [11:01] FrankLoebe: < discussion on decision-making in the light of 
> having a fuzzy group >
> 
> [11:02] FrankLoebe: [action] [LV,FL] setup wiki page with a democratic 
> decision procedure that pays attention to sensitively handling contributors
> 
> [11:03] FrankLoebe: LJ: we should use a more formal setting for 
> decisions on what to include, e.g. setting up a kind of program 
> committee for the series
> 
> [11:07] FrankLoebe: LV, FL: +1
> 
> [11:09] FrankLoebe: LJ: EasyChair could be used for the rieview

> === 2b. integration of existing teaching units? ===
> 
> 
> [11:13] anonymous1 morphed into Robert Rovetto
> 
> 
> [11:14] FrankLoebe: FL: what do we want between (1) ignoring eveything 
> out there, (2) collecting pointers to material and (3) trying to tightly 
> integrate it in the series?
> 
> [11:18] FrankLoebe: ES: we may ask in the open call whether people have 
> material that they would want to submit and see published in the series
> 
> [11:20] FrankLoebe: SL: what about "knowledge pills", short videos of 
> 2-3 min, e.g. on a specific term
> 
> [11:22] FrankLoebe: FL: would also be of interest, I think, e.g. for 
> audience from industry
> 
> [11:22] FrankLoebe: RR: we need to pay attention that not everything can 
> be covered in very short videos and other fields may have much more 
> detailed views and distinctions (e.g. "Perdurantism" in philosophy)
> 
> [11:25] FrankLoebe: LV: +1 & [...]

> [11:26] LaureVieu: Here are thoughts regarding infrastructure for 
> webinars that might be of interest for us:

> 
> [11:26] FrankLoebe: LV: I think we need to settle infrastructure issues 
> before we can move on with the program
> 
> [11:27] FrankLoebe: LV: that may be interesting because of its not 
> greedy in bandwidth
> 
> [11:28] FrankLoebe: LV: I have no experience, if somebody else has that

> 
> [11:29] FrankLoebe: ES: can we use a document to gather thoughts on
