CoryBurke - Volunteer Assistant to java.net Community Manager

Due to a trademark conflict between two java.net members, the project http://ejc.dev.java.net needed to be renamed to http://westecc.dev.java.net/, because EJC is a trademark registered in numerous countries by SNIJDER Micro Systems.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to rename projects on java.net. I asked Cory if he would be able and willing to move the contents of ejc to westecc pretty quickly, and he did a great job! I sent him an email about "TIME SENSITIVE unusual request" on Sunday, he replied on Monday that he could do it Tuesday evening, and it was complete on Wednesday, minus the members because I had neglected to make him an owner of the old project, ejc. As soon as I did that, he moved all the members as well, so the entire task was done on Thursday. The owner of the ejc-now-westecc project (in China) wrote:

                hey,Marla,Ted and Cory

                few days,then I will tell Ted immediately,when meets that time

CoryBurke - Volunteer Assistant to java.net Games Community Leaders

  • go learn about javagaming.org, with an eye out for potential good community leads (Started)
  • go learn about Dark Star project (Started)
  • talk with the Sun games group about helping with the java.net Games Community
    • This is the point at which Cory's work with the Games Community broke down. The Sun Gaming Officer started out enthusiastic but then just stopped responding, too busy. So Cory did not continue with this assignment.
  • talk with EricRenaud about games-inbox work
  • talk to GaryThompson about version control in CS classes
  • add link to this wiki from the index.html page of the volunteers project (Done)

On Friday, April 14 I had a training session with JenniferPalmEnsign? at Mills College.

Here are some of the topics we spoke about:

  • How to edit the community pages.
  • How to delete, insert, and publish RSS feeds, News items, etc.
  • HTML tags and CSS within the edit sections.
  • A Trial and error look at fixing the games community homepage.

Jennifer hasn't been trained on promoting projects, so I hope to speak with EricRenaud? in near future to be trained by him.

I got the chance to straighten out the Gaming Community home page with the help of SarahB? today. Having the page on auto-update was causing the problem. I will try to frequent the RSS/Blog feeder to see what relevant articles should be published. This is good thing, because they had been receiving many spam articles that got auto-published.
