Quick alert for those who participate in the developer calls. The PMC made good progress on putting together governance for a technical steering committee. We've put that document at Proposed governance for ODK 1 Technical Steering Committee and we'd love your feedback!
Thank you @dcbriccetti and @tomsmyth!
This issue may also help provide context for repeat instance naming: https://github.com/opendatakit/collect/issues/183
Some other tentative agenda items:
-
Learning sessions - profiling and optimizing by @dcbriccetti, Android testing by @jamesknight; goal is to share knowledge within dev community and attract new contributors
- Who is interested?
- Live or recorded?
- Any other topics anyone would like to facilitate or learn more about?
-
Feedback on Proposed governance for ODK 1 Technical Steering Committee
-
Quick update on Call for volunteers: mentor an Outreachy project (@adammichaelwood or @Ronald_Munjoma)
@dcbriccetti, do you want to set the agenda in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hszoTRzWG5W04JXgcBzE7BcdEZGB75lA8tftTNZ5lzA/edit#?
Somaliland has been great so far and it's really impressive to see how many people here know of and use tools in the ODK ecosystem. It seems @yanokwa and I will likely be able to join the call.
Let's do a quick poll to see who will be there
- I will be on the call Wednesday October 4, 2017 from 14 to 15UTC (see in my timezone)
- I can't make it this time but am interested in future calls

Thanks @dcbriccetti for leading the meeting today! 
Wow I really wasn't aware of ODK Developer calls. Got here by chance. I really love the idea and will surely participate in the next call. Big up to you guys. This is great @yanokwa

The first Wednesday of the month is quickly approaching! I'm looking forward to hearing everyone live for our next call on Wednesday November 1st 14 to 15UTC (see in my timezone).
Does anyone want to lead and/or have topics they want to make sure we discuss?
Here are some things on my mind:
- @ggalmazor has started simplifying the Aggregate build and deploy process. If he joins the call, perhaps he could tell us a bit about what he's planning.
- The latest JavaRosa Collect releases went well. The testing checklist @mmarciniak90 has put together has helped. More communication about risk has helped. How can we apply this to other tools? What else can we improve?
- What automation can we bring to the release processes? (also see Reflection: release process for Collect, Briefcase, JavaRosa)
- Collect geotrace and geoshape improvements - how do we make sure people who need to know about it are alerted?
- @icemc is going to talk about ODK with a local developer group, what ideas and tips do we have for him?
Let's do a quick poll to see who will be there
- I will be on the call Wednesday November 1, 2017 from 14 to 15UTC (see in my timezone)
- I can't make it this time but am interested in future calls

I may be en route to the airport to drink Txakoli with @ggalmazor but I will at least be listening in.
Could you add a little 30 second slot for me to remind everyone about the testing workshop next Wednesday?

So jealous!! 
Yes, absolutely on the testing workshop plug. Is the beginning or the end more convenient? (For the interested -- ODK Testing Workshop 2017-11-08)
I know as soon as I say one way or the other I'll be wrong, but I think towards the end would be better.
Not that it super matters -- jump in when you can!
Today is a holiday in Spain and I have the family over for lunch... I could hop in for 15 minutes and give some feedback about Aggregate if that’s ok.
Is it going to be recorded?
I think you should enjoy the time with your family and not worry about the call! We’ll have one again next month.
For those joining, the call in link is https://www.uberconference.com/opendatakit
We just wrapped up our monthly developer call and it was great to talk to everyone!
We touched on getting more call participation, the progress on Aggregate, the JavaRosa/Collect releases, Collect developer docs, Collect geo widgets, a presentation for local devs in Cameroon, and the TSC process.
You can find the call notes here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hszoTRzWG5W04JXgcBzE7BcdEZGB75lA8tftTNZ5lzA
The next call is: December 6, 2017 from 14-15 UTC

During the last call we talked about having a thread for each call to keep things organized and to plan in advance. I've started such a thread for the next call -- ODK 1 Developer Call - 2017-12-06. See you there!
