User-Support

   - As soon as single sign-on is up, the help-desk can be rolled out


   - Still adding content to help articles


   - Uservoice is still on the site


Webcraft

   - Launched challenges


   - Next 5 being worked on - Jessy is working on them & sharing with
   Webcrafts community


   - John reaching out to people who have signed up for challenges


   - See why people dropped off.


   - There are also some webmaking 101 challenges in Spanish


   - http://p2pu.org/es/groups/1-introduce-yourself/


   - http://p2pu.org/es/groups/2-writing-html-by-hand/


   - http://p2pu.org/es/groups/3-choose-your-weapon/


Tech

   - Next release: October 25th


   - We are working on UI changes for webmaking 101, badges, and p2pu in
   general


   - During that release we will also create the first skill and community
   badges (currently on demo in alpha.p2pu.org)


School of Ed

   - Nothing to report


Surfacing / showcasing great projects, people, work from the community [Ali]

   - This will have to be a manual curation from the community with certain
   people taking ownership (assumed Alison, perhaps Bekka, Philipp and School
   leaders)


   - Where do we showcase?


   - build a collection on the blog, add prominent links on p2pu.org to
   those posts


   - tweeting, facebook for overall and dive down deeper for other kinds of
   content


   - look at other orgs (kickstarter, vimeo, etc)


   - kickstarter curate all incoming projects (they review everything)


   - Ask for guest curation (etsy-style)


   - video Interviews, introductions - somebody who is an active member
   being showcased can be a powerful tool.


   - key to sharing is to point to something interesting... a link to a
   story is more interesting than a link to the course itself


   - Provide a way for people to submit showcase ideas "what do you think is
   cool at p2pu"


   - What's a good way for keeping track of what's happening? Is it just a
   matter of "hanging out" on the site? And someone needs to do that?


   - Ali is wandering in the desert of the site, looking for stuff


   - Might be a good job for an intern?


   - @Ali: What's the kind of stuff you find? Do you have a list of ideas
   for interviews based on what you see?


   - *task*: yes - will add these to standups


   - We all need to participate in more groups/courses. Who here is in a
   course right now?


   - Weekly "competition" - this week's focus is P2PU+ and we choose a
   subject area which deserves focus and has some kind of focus to direct
   development


Board Meeting (Sustainability)

   - there will be 2 report backs form the board meeting -


   - a screen cast report back from Philipp and


   - a report back from the sustainability discussion


   - there was a lot of support to work on a general small donations
   strategy and income opportunities


   - we will continue to look for short-term grants


   - if we can come up with an amazing idea for a kickstarter campaign and
   the community takes ownership, then Kickstarter is an option


   - Board has signed off on testing a community endowment campaign but this
   is an agreement in principle, not agreement to make it happen


   - More details to come in the report backs


Surveying challenge users? what are the plans? (pb)

   - challenges might attract a different kind of audience than courses do.


   - People who come to P2Pu are interested in education


   - It wouldbe good to surface the conversations that these people have


   - BUT - challenges might attract different people, who have a more
   focused desire


   - perhaps they have less interest in activating their own learning


   - People need to know that they can make their own path through
   challenges


   - Identifying the next step as part of the challenges is important - what
   comes after a challenge.


   - What is the ideal journey we want someone to take through P2PU?


   - How do we design challanges to help them do this?


   - Can we identify them, and how do we generate metrics around them?


   - What are their intentions in taking on a challenge? What do they want
   to do with a challeneg once they're done?


   - also depends on the type (content) of challenges. webmaking 101 is for
   entry level. webcraft 404 (the masterclass) will bring totally other crowd
