| 2 | A "Work Out" is an intense period of work either focused around specific tasks or a specific event where a number of Sahanians are together (eg. a FOSS Conference). |

| 7 | They could either be held in a physical location with a group of Sahanian, or virtually (perhaps over the period of a week), or a combination of both. |

| 10 | Any of these could potentially be merged... |
| 11 | == Spring Clean == |
| 12 | There seem to be a number of things which we could do to make the code more "beautiful", easier to read and easier to work with. This could be a good opportunity for people new to the code to get a deeper understanding of how it all works, while the more experienced can offer advise + checking). |

| 14 | These ideas are just proposals... |
| 15 | * Getting rid of the database reserved keyword warnings |
| 16 | * Replaced repeated code with functions (eg a pop-up wrapper function) |
| 17 | * Standardized coding conventions (Naming, Indents, " vs ') |
| 18 | * Moving imported data out of code and into csv/xml files |
| 19 | * Adding header information to all code |
| 20 | * Wrapping code lines so that they are readable on a single page |
| 21 | * Documenting functions |
| 22 | * "Organisation" vs "Organization" - OK, I speak the Queen's English too, but after working for an American "Organization", I now get confused - can we just change it to "Org" in the code? |
| 23 | == Learning the Framework == |
| 24 | Especially for GSOC Students and Mentors |
| 25 | * Using BZR |
| 26 | * REST Controller |
| 27 | * GIS |
| 28 | == GSOC Student Selection == |
| 29 | * Some sort of workout to gauge the skills and interests of students |
| 30 | * Could be combined with either of the top 2 workouts |
| 31 | * Student applications must be completed by 9 April, the organization must select students by 21st April. A good time for the workout could be the week of the 12th - 18th of April |
| 32 | * Developing a volunteer management module |
