Discussion Points
Group Communication
| Proposer
|
Jan de Muijnck-Hughes (and who ever added the Mailing list suggestion to the todo page in the first place.)
|
| Description
|
To improve the community communication through a mailing list and/or have a list of addresses available to members.
|
| Rationale
|
At the moment there seems to be no official accessible list that we can access that has all the Kerckhoff student details in. I think Bart may have a copy but... we need to have a way to facilitate easier to use and more accessible means of group communication.
|
| Notes
|
There is an unofficial mailing list already. You can sign up for it over here: http://gewis.nl/mailman/listinfo/security-master
To give an impression of the past state of affairs, I (Julius) have already been asked by Jan Schut (mastercoordinator at the UT) to forward something to this list, because he had no other way to communicate with "all" the Kerckhoffs students.

| Description
|
To compose a document that explicitly mentions the communities aims, methodologies and organisation.

|
Such a document should be able to avoid confusion in the future about A) what the community provides and B) what is expected of community members.

Website Enhancements
| Proposer
|
Jan de Muijnck-Hughes
|
| Description
|
To enhance the community websites functionality via properly implemented Calendar and Map applets. This can be achieved using both a Google Calendar and Map and the required Wikimedia extensions to properly integrate them within the site. Another suggesstion is to add an RSS feed for the sites news to allow for people to subscribe to the websites news.
|
| Rationale
|
It has been observed recently that the calendar operates in a WIKI mentality in that no pages are deleted and any changes such as a move in date will only result in a redirect to the new date, with the existing date still in place. With out proper maintenance this could lead to a cluttered calendar full of redirects. Also with the Maps this could lead to better functionality and give people a clearer idea of routes and locations. Inspiration for this came from the OWASP mediawiki based site. And the RSS feed is just a logical extension of a news feed.
|
| Notes
|
Apparently there is a plan by C&CZ to upgrade the underlying mediawiki implementation.

Induction Day
| Proposer
|
Jan de Muijnck-Hughes (added to the discussion points by Bart van Delft)
|
| Description
|
Organize an introduction of some sort for the new Kerckhoffs' students of next year. This does not necessarily have to consist of one single induction day, but could also be extended to informing 3th year Bachelor students on the Computer Security master and so on. More information in this forum thread.
|
| Rationale
|
Many current Kerckhoffs' students have the feeling that they missed such an introduction at their start of the master, and we feel like we should prevent new students from searching in the dark for course information, location, schedules, fellow students etc. etc.
|
| Notes
|
The rumour mill has seen talks by Peter van Rossum and Pieter Hartel about induction days aswell.

Auguste Representatives Internal
| Proposer
|
Bart van Delft
|
| Description
|
Assign a representative job to (at least) one student from each university. These persons can both represent the Kerckhoffs students from the their university to Auguste, as represent Auguste to their fellow students.
|
| Rationale
|
To increase communication and organization, it would be helpful to have at least a board of some kind, which moderates all Augustes activities. Note that this is already discussed on the forum.

| Notes
|
Please read the forum for more information.

Auguste Representatives External
| Proposer
|
Bart van Delft
|
| Description
|
Assign a representative job to (at least) one student from each university. These persons can represent their fellow students to the Kerckhoffs organization / staff. These persons might or might not be the same as in the Auguste Representatives Internal point.
|
| Rationale
|
Once the students have organized under the name of Auguste, it can be used to actually improve the Kerckhoffs Institute. Comments and suggestions can be gathered during Auguste meetings and communicated with the Kerckhoffs staff members. Note that this is already discussed on the forum.
