Got some extra rooms booked for the Cookbook hackathon and am requesting a 20 room block of a hotel for preferred reservations.
We don't forsee having international attendance at this event do we?
Taysia just asked
I would say no.
I'm not very optimistic that we're going to get any NSF money for this, since we haven't had any response yet. But if we do, it will be for domestic travel only.
I hacked together a basic website for the Cook-off, source is here: https://github.com/ProjectPythia/pythia-cookoff-2023
and site is here: https://projectpythia.org/pythia-cookoff-2023/README.html
The website uses our Cookbook template, yay for recursion!
@Julia Kent @Drew Camron @Max Grover @Kevin Tyle when you have a chance, take a look and flesh it out a bit.
From NCAR's director of workplace safety:
From a safety standpoint, if a grill is to be used by staff outside of event services, the staff operating the grill will need to complete safety training on the specific grill being used and know how to operate a fire extinguisher. In addition, a grill will not be allowed if it is a red flag day (high fire danger) on the day of the event. I recommend having a potluck on the tree plaza or reserving an area at a local city park with built-in grills if a cookout is desired.
Also Taysia about getting the information for the meeting coordinates ahead of time. She is setting up a meeting with Multimedia to ask about it and stressed that we only share the information with people registered.
Sorry I was not able to attend yesterday - this has been an insanely busy week with other projects... thanks for sharing the spreadsheet!
I've created a spreadsheet with a list of the names of potential invitees. Missing a couple email addresses. I can't remember who Jessica from New Hampshire is. Also, I assume "Johnny" is Johnny Lin?
I think Jessica Scheick jbscheick@gmail.com
She's co mentoring Yuta with Deepak and myself this SIParCS internship. But I haven't worked with her before
Thanks @Kevin Tyle . I'll put together our invite email today
Hi all. I am putting together a Google Slides presentation for project pitches, hopefully to be filled out either before the hackathon or quickly at the beginning. Could Pythia members who signed up to maybe lead a pitch (@Max Grover @Kevin Tyle @Robert Ford ) maybe fill theirs out first? That way there is a template for other people to follow.

Also I met with Taysia and the UCAR media team yesterday, we discussed having Google Meets in the main seminar room, so people can join in companion mode, but the same Zoom link for the rest of the days with break out groups named by projects. Taysia is working on this now. We decided we didn't need a Slido, and Taysia is making name tags for all in person attendees. So if you didn't register because you're on the team but are coming, let me know so you can have a name tag too!

None of the Cookbooks will launch on binder for me. I'm getting an error "failed to create a temporary user" Anyone else?
Ditto for me. I think both Brian and Kevin are out this week. Any other infrastructure people that can look at this?
Hey all, still on vacay until Thursday. I suggest we now migrate all of our cookbooks to our new Binderhub service on JS2 ... https://binder.projectpythia.org .
Looks like we need to figure out how to get the book build action to work with GitHub authentication.
I will take a look at this today.
The new binderhub service is working great for interactive use. Just go to https://binder.projectpythia.org/, authenticate via GitHub, and then drop in a link to any of our Cookbook repos.
I suggest we go through and update the binderhub_url
field in each cookbook's config file, so that the "launch" buttons will point to this new service.
Unfortunately it is currently not possible to route Cookbook builds through the new binderhub via binderbot. I've been looking at how to handle the authentication step in the call to binderbot and I'm totally stumped.
I imagine this will require use of "Apps", be it GitHub App or OAuth App via GitHub, but I'm not totally sure what that could look like right now
https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/about-authentication-with-a-github-app _I think_ will be where we have to start
I think @Kevin Tyle may have already set this up to handle authentication on the BinderHub, but I don't understand it very well.
