CNM Tech Board 2023-10-26 is the meeting of CNM Technology Board‎ that occurred on October 26th, 2023. The predecessor meeting is CNM Tech Board 2023-10-19; the successor meeting is CNM Tech Board 2023-11-02.


"Old" businesses

All of "old" businesses are related to launch of iDosvid in Kenya in order to make iDosvid pitch real.

Wiki

LMS

  • Task (not critical): To provide the learners with a lightweight LMS instance, so they can practice with that, while populating it with the courses. For MVP, we plan to use the wiki as the content delivery platform.
  • Situation: Educaship Moodle looks like well-suited for CNMCyber Bootcamps, but less appropriate for the first two courses than Canvas LMS. So, Natalia was trying to install it. OpenEdX is, probably, too complex for us for now and, most importantly, for MVP too.
  • Actions: Get back to the project when critical tasks are resolved.

WordPress

  • Task {not critical): To provide the learners with individual Educaship WordPress instances, so they can practice with those.
  • Situation: Educaship WordPress is essential for CNM Website Projects' MVP. Gary offers to start using it - at least, those websites that will help our educaship marketing.
  • Actions: Natalia will create a new VM or VMs.
