MEETING OUTCOME:

This summary is a result of work also done after the meeting and discussed offline and in email. Making the LHC@home "artistic propaganda" is a task on which Claire and Jacques are already working (see attached material - text and examples). The IT e-learning project will concentrate on the recording for the lhcathome installation instructions tutorials for Windows and Mac, with special emphasis on installation details and configuration parametres. This is more relevant to the e-learning project Mandate.

Claire and Jacques, please keep e-learning-interest-group at cern dot ch informed. We have a lot to learn and re-use in other IT mini-tutorials aiming at a large public.
