ICE-RS cycle 2007-11-01
Summary
Due to staff been unavailable there wasn't a meeting for what would have been the cycle ending 2007-10-18. Tasks for this period have also been combined with the next cycle (4 week cycle period).
In the cycle ending 2007-10-04 an update for ICE with ATOM publishing was released and work on the version 2.0 requirements for demonstrating and testing purposes was completed. Testing for version 2.0 has started by using it to manage the ICE website and publishing to the new blog which is now using Wordpress.
Daniel and Peter ran an ICE workshop at IDEA 2007, where they also hosted a booth to present the poster about ICE and a demo for the IMS Learning Impact Awards. Despite being a finalist (top 10) ICE unfortunately didn't win however, there was a lot of interest from those who attended.
