Tom Barrett - sorry folks wiped out from busy weekend - I talked to John earlier in the week and we will be planning and recording ETR #2 next weekend, unless you all decide otherwise. I will catch up on wiki. Kristian has also passed on his apologies for not attending. His new job is apparently taking up all of his free time. He said he will do his best to drop in when he can. Please pass on "congrats" to Doug for TeachMeet preso and "Hello" to Ian. 1200254463 user:mrbelshaw - my apologies: wife firmly put foot down saying I needed to spend some time with her after BETT... David Noble - I have watched the replay; great and varied conversation Dave Stacey
 * Apologies**:

Actions from PREVIOUS Meeting:

 * Update show schedule on wiki to reflect changes in show order. (Sinclair
 * Investigate use of rss enclosure fields in the wordpress blog (Sinclair) or look into blog upgrade (Doug).
 * Continue to look for Skye recording applications for mac (Doug/Sinclair/John).

Actions for BETT
 * Doug has put his name on the [|TeachMeet wiki] to talk about ETR in a 2 or 7 min slot and will ask Ewan MacIntosh to mention it also.
 * Doug will "door step" people during BETT to let them know about ETR and record vox pops for use in future shows or possibly invite them to join us. David will also send out some invitations to TeachMeeters. (difficult to do this @TeachMeet08 due to bangin' music during intervals and people engrossed in conversations at other times - sorry... user:mrbelshaw)

Agenda:
Blog audio user:sinclairmackenzie Different audio file provided by David appears to be working without the "chipmonk effect". Some discussion about cuses of this problem - version of flash, bitrate of audio file.
 * RSS issues
 * chipmonks

RSS, should we organise feedburner, who, submit to iTunes etc. I think using feedburner would allow use to put an image in the feed so that it shows in itunes, the wordpress feed as it stands works ok in itunesuser:johnjohnston

Feedback received by Doug and others following BETT/TeachMeet08

Actions for NEXT Meeting:
John setting up Feedburner feed that can be used with iTunes - Feedburner allows us to include an image for branding.

Following suggestion from Ian and some group discussion, action to look at Jing to see if a short screencast can be added to model use of www.classtools.net for ETR no.1. (Sinclair) Please watch and provide feedback on whether we want this added to blog/del.icio.us/both/neither. 1200351719
 * Update** screencast created using Jing [|fishbone_jing.swf]

Soft launch at TeachMeet08 to be followed up with blog to entries publicise Edtechroundup. (all)

Further Contributors or Thoughts
I've run the wordpress feed through feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Edtechroundup I've added the feedburner link to the blog looks like Edtechroundup at gmail is taken, Doug? (nope, not me! user:mrbelshaw) If it it one of us I'll use that for the feed owner. I've submitted to iTunes and will add a subscribe in itunes link to the blog when the submission goes through and I can get the phobos. Done. Feed on iTunes and I've added the link to blog sidebar.
