========

Edu Team Meeting, 18 July 2016, 8:00 - 9:00

Present: Brian, Mike, Greg, Alexa, Alice, Karen, Benoit, Dan, Mirjam

1. Review IETF 96 tutorials
---------------------------
(preparations, delivery, attendance)

1.1. Newcomers (how did the new format work?)

Over 50 attendees
No blue-sheets, possibly organise informal sign-in sheets
took 40 minutes
some improvements needed
no questions, but also no blank looks

good survey results, useful feedback
survey results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-5FYMYBBT/

ACTION: Promote video “Ten things you should know before attending an
IETF” some more.

1.2. Newcomers in German

Over 50 attendees
quite a number of questions
also basic questions like “Can I go into each WG room without having to
register?”
We might have to make it even more  clear how open this environment is

good survey results
survey results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-MSBQYBBT/

- IEEE Tutorial

120 people
mixed 50% from INT area and 50% Newcomers

survey results: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-JZ33YBBT/

2. Roadmap of tutorial materials
----------------------------------

2.1. Possible tutorial categories:

A. Basic Newcomers
- Better packaging for Scott’s videos (a landing or intro page)
  - Take newcomers to separate page after they register for a meeting
- More modular tutorials/videos

B. Basic processes and meeting tools (meetecho, jabber)
    - one module of the existing tools tutorial
- Datatracker
- GitHub
- Draft-to-RFC
- New RFC format will be coming in a year or so (will also need training)

Possibly do hands-on workshops? But this is potentially a lot of work
for a small gain.

Alice suggested: Quick-start guides (5 steps to do X).

C. Current area overview tutorials
- highlighting emerging items

D. Guidance on good IETF development
- Privacy
- Security considerations
- Extensibility
- IANA considerations

E. Technical tutorials
- Emerging IETF work
- other SDOs
- new technologies

Evolving the approach:
Benoit suggested each AD would do a three-minute video about their area.
Don’t have to be taken at the meeting itself.

ACTION to include in survey sent to newcomers (our new definition of
newcomers) after the meeting: What would you have liked to know before
attending the meeting

2.2. How do we evolve the tutorials

2.3. How do we get the right people involved

3. Future IETF tutorials
-------------------------

Each tutorial should have an Edu Team owner.

Ask at the WG chairs on Wednesday for gaps, especially in the technical
area.

Decided to change the tutorial slots to 13:00 - 14:00 and 14:30 - 15:30
(then we have some run-over space)

Get the tutorial description linked from the meeting agenda.

IETF 97:
- Newcomers (Mike)
- Newcomers in Korean (Greg contacted ISOC Korea chapter)
- IEEE 802.11 and 802.15 Wireless (Charlie Perkins and Dorothy Stanly
(repeat from IETF 95; suggested by Dan)?
- Area overview tutorial: Security (Karen)
- as a back up: OPS Area (Benoit)

Still TBD, more details will come shortly in a separate mail.
