Meeting 11 - September 18th (11am EDT)

Lot of talk today about merging all of our uMobile lists into one brand new, beautiful, all-knowing list umobile@apereo.org (tentative).  If you are subscribed to any of the uMobile mailing lists currently, don't worry, you don't have to do anything.  You will automagically be added to the new uMobile list. 

A decision has been made to use Google Hangouts on future calls. This will still allow everyone to participate and converse (hangout or chat) without the pain of Calliflower. We're going to try this out for the October uMobile call.

Be on the lookout!

• An email will be sent out within the next few days letting you know that the mailing list merge is happening and when it's complete.
• Calendar event(s) that keep you up to date about uMobile calls. The about / where / when / how to join.

Meeting 10 - Thursday 21 August 2014 via Calliflower

This was the first call after the 2014 Apereo conference.  It was sparsely attended and talked through cleaning up the issue tracker and wiki usage to reduce the noise somewhat and focus in on the most promising directions.

Meeting 9 - Wednesday 4 June at Apereo Conference

New uMobile definition: mobile uPortal client and specific extensions for the mobile platform.

Liberating portal services via web services - start with search - helps define a pattern of access for future services to unlock. Oakland to work on the native app, UW-Madison to look at the portal service unlocking.

Other services: notifications, app customisation (market place), favorites, map portlets, courses

App platforms - are we looking for a single development platform? This would be ideal in terms of focusing resources, but not certain how realistic this is. We need to build services to empower people to build clients. 

Switch to Google Hangouts from Calliflower, have monthly calls, move conversations to the list where possible. Keep the same times

Revisit the organisation of the wiki. What about the website? Oakland to write up native, Misagh PhoneGap pages. uMobile needs to be included in the uPortal documentation.

Dave to assume the role of Chair.
