Chebucto Suite Workshop 1
The first in a series of weekly workshops, to discuss, coordinate and
develop the features of Chebucto Suite (CSuite for short), was held
Wednesday November 29, 1995 at 4:30 p.m. in the Chase Building at
Dalhousie University.
Presentation
David Trueman, co-chair of Metro-CAN Society, presented an Overview of Chebucto Suite, using slides that can be found as pages
mounted on CCN in the ccn-tech area. Please see those pages for details.
(CSuite is the package of software, documentation, and support services
that is used to setup and run the Chebucto Community Network.)
Principles
A set of principles for the workshop series were agreed upon.
- The workshop is the vehicle for on-going development of CSuite.
- Regular attendance is needed, not a lecture series to attend at will.
- Every member should play an active role in the workshop.
- Each meeting will include a presentation on some aspect of CSuite
development.
- Informal sessions, that may continue into a social activity afterwards.
- Minutes of the discussions will be formatted in html to form the
first version of the Chebucto Suite Documentation.
- Minutes would also be mailed to members through a mailing list,
ccn-tech on CCN.
- Members would volunteer each week, in rotation, to record that session.
- David Murdoch was chosen to act as secretary / coordinator for the
minutes.
