<div>Hi all:</div><div><br></div><div>We had a meeting today on IRC to discuss the state of the website and in particular the content. We reviewed the current design (static mocks here: <a href="http://www.christianmarcschmidt.com/projects/sugarlabs">http://www.christianmarcschmidt.com/projects/sugarlabs</a>), and the document I put together to help us gather content (<a href="http://bit.ly/zaszwW">http://bit.ly/zaszwW</a>). Several people attended, but for those of you who couldn't make it, I've attached the transcript here.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We then had a productive follow-up Skype meeting with Gerald, Caryl, John and myself, and will reconvene in a few weeks to take stock in where we are.</div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime, <b>please send me any references to content</b> that we might use for the website. In particular, we are looking for<b> video tutorials</b> (any language), and materials we could use to put together <b>case studies</b> from Sugar/OLPC deployments.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Christian</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 11:21 AM, Christian Marc Schmidt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:christianmarc@gmail.com" target="_blank">christianmarc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It is important that we get your feedback as the work on the website progresses. Therefor, I am looking to reschedule our meeting to another time that works for everyone. See John's original email below: We are looking for feedback on the design as well as volunteers to help us generate content for the new website.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does this coming Saturday 14th at 11:00am EST/16:00 UTC work for everyone? Or is a time during the week better? Suggestions welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello All,<br><br>Happy New Year! As the New Year starts we are making another effort to restart the<br>Sugar Labs Website Revamp. <br><br>Designer and community member Christian Marc Schmidt has put together a Design Template along with a <br>
Sugar Labs Website Refresh: Content Document. These two documents along with the work and content <br>gathering done by RIT Co-op students Mike Devine and JT Mengel last year will hopefully give us solid basis <br>to start from.<br>
<br>Our Kick-off IRC meeting will take place this Sunday Jan. 8th on#sugar-meeting at 11:00amEST(16:00UTC),<br>after the Design Meeting surrounding "Write To Journal Anytime" taking place at 10:00amEST.<br><br>
Please join us if you are available-our key shortcoming last year in our attempt was a lack of content to effectively<br>
create the new site. All help is Welcome and needed.<br><br>Because this is in the Building and Design stage please email me at: <a href="mailto:jtis4stx@hotmail.com" target="_blank">jtis4stx@hotmail.com</a> to get links to the preview <br>
documents if you are interested in being part of the process.<br><br>Our First Step is to give Christian the Thumbs Up/Make Enhancements to the Design.<br><br>Our Second Step will look to get individual community members to take responsibility in "Content Gathering Areas" that flow out of<br>
the documents Christian has prepared.<br><br>Our Third Step is to execute Content Gathering<br><br>Upon receiving enough content Christian will then commence the build phase.<br><br>We hope you can join us on Sunday and look forward to working with the community to do this important<br>
work. Please let us know of your interest in taking part in this important endeavor.<br><br>Appreciate the Collaboration!<span><font color="#888888"><br>John Tierney<br></font></span><br>P.S. Please get into the hands of those who will be best able to assist-Thank You!<br>
