CT meeting this past Tuesday
by Cal Ribbens 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Here are some sparse notes on what we discussed this week: http://people.cs.vt.edu/~ribbens/upc/CT/2013_0409.html Given the busyness of the next 5 weeks, I don't intend to call anymore meetings for now. However ... 1. If there is a call for pre-pre-course-proposals, I will definitely throw something together (with input from some of you, as you are able) to make sure we at least have a placeholder in the hopper. I think it is a very safe bet that we will offer at least one course in this space. 2. Over the summer I will try to keep some momentum going ... via email, sharing of documents, and some small group meetings as appropriate. 3. Please continue to share ideas/questions/examples/articles that you think will be of interest to this CT discussion.

1. There is now a ct-faculty at cs dot vt dot edu email list, of which you are a member. 2. Here is a summary of our meeting last Wednesday http://people.cs.vt.edu/~ribbens/upc/CT/2013_0327.html 3. Jill Sible shared this rough rough draft of the new CLE proposal with us: http://people.cs.vt.edu/~ribbens/upc/CT/IGECProposal_2013_0308.pdf She welcomes our feedback. This has not been officially released to the campus. 4. On the theory that perturbing our meeting time will allow a different set of people to attend [and not implying that the previous set was deficient in some way] ... - would you attend a CT meeting Tuesday, April 9, at 11:00 a.m., KW2? - would you attend a CT meeting Thursday, April 11, at 11:00 a.m., KW2?
