FamilySearch Wiki:Technical Meeting: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:09, 13 January 2010

Come and get help, learn, and forge solutions with other community contributors! We hold community meetings to discuss content, technical issues, workarounds, community, site design, and strategy. Everyone who attends learns something new that makes it easier and more fun to contribute to the wiki.

Our community meetings frequently discuss style guidelines. Please refer to the Manual of Style page and its discussion page for ongoing community discussions to reach agreement on guidelines.

When[edit | edit source]

The wiki community meetings are on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:00 PM (mountain time)

Attend the community meeting from home![edit | edit source]

We will use MeetingPlace for the Community Meeting on 19 January 2010.

To Attend the Meeting:

Go to MeetingPlace or MeetingPlace Home and enter your Meeting ID 9111 and click the "Attend Meeting" button
If requested, Sign in with your LDS Account or as a Guest
Select the desired "Connect Me" options and enter the phone number that you want MeetingPlace to call you at
Click the Connect button

To Attend the Meeting Without Using your Computer:

Dial into 801-240-2663 (Local/International) or 877-453-7266 (US Toll-free)
Follow the prompts to enter the Meeting ID 9111 and join the meeting

First-time users should run the MeetingPlace Test to verify they can participate in a web meeting. Since November we have had problems calling into Adobe Acrobat for the audio portion of the meeting. I hope that by using MeetingPace, the audio portion of the meeting will be easier to join, and the recording of the meeting will also be improved.

Agendas & minutes[edit | edit source]

Agenda information[edit | edit source]

Community members are welcome to suggest topics for the agenda by clicking on the agenda below, then click the "Discussion" tab. As the meeting draws near, items in the Discussion tab will be reviewed for agenda priority.

Minutes information[edit | edit source]

In the meeting held on 08 Sep 2009, it was decided that the individual that adds an agenda item should take the meeting notes since they have vested interest in the subject. If that individual is not able to attend or otherwise not able to take the notes, someone else should take that responsibility. The meeting minutes are very important to those not able to attend the meeting as well as to maintain a written records of discussions and decisions.

+'''To Attend the Meeting:'''
-*'''AUDIO''': To attend the audio portion, you may connect in one of two methods. Both methods will be recorded with the video portion. The first method is recommended and preferable. Using either method, you may mute at any time by pressing *6.
-*#The <u>best</u> method is to first connect to the video portion. The video portion will display a window to allow you to put in your telephone number. If you do such, the system will call you. To enter after being called, you will be prompted to press 1 to enter the meeting. This allows the video portion to see who is speaking.
-*#The alternative method allows you to call in to connect with our telephone bridge: Call 1-866-274-9016. At the prompt, provide the participant code 336769 followed by #. This method is less desirable as it displays you as an "Unknown dial in" attendee in addition to your video attendee. You may participate with the audio bridge without seeing the video, but people may not know who you are. Some systems may not allow you to press telephone keys after the connection has been made.
