LVTF Scribe Tips

Before the Meeting

Scribes, please do this several minutes before the start of the meeting. I think you can do this up to 1 hour before the scheduled meeting time.

Enter the following commands in the #lvtf IRC channel:

Enter the following commands in the #lvtf IRC channel.

At start of a new topic (from the Agenda, or sub-topics):
Topic: What the new topic is
To record what someone says, put their name or initials and a colon:
Jane: strongly support the revised heading
To record a resolution:
RESOLUTION: What the resolution is
What to record:
- You don't need to record everything that it said, just the "jist" of the relevant comments
- Make sure to record final decisions carefully
- Feel free to ask for clarifications of who is speaking, for important things to be repeated, for someone to scribe their own thoughts (if they are in IRC), or for the meeting to pause momentarily so you can catch up with scribing

1. Before signing off, enter the following commands in the #lvtf IRC channel:

rrsagent, make logs world
rrsagent, create minutes v1

Make sure it works and you get the reply in IRC: "<RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/20XX/XX/XX-eo-minutes.html"

zakim, end meeting
rrsagent, bye

2. Agenda — Either do this yourself, or make sure one of the Chairs will do it.
Copy the agenda from:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/LVTF_Meetings#Agenda

and paste it under the meeting date in the LVTF Meeting wiki page:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Meeting_Minutes

You can make most edits via IRC with the "s"=substitute command:

s/wrong wording/corrected wording

This works for deleting text, with null between slashes:

s/my dog ate my survey replies//

Then you can re-create the minutes to check the changes (might take several seconds for the updated version to show up)

 rrsagent, create minutes v1
