Drew Camron (Jun 12 2023 at 19:56): Drew Camron (Jun 12 2023 at 19:56):@Julia Kent are you available for tomorrow morning's OWG? I understand @Kevin Tyle and @Max Grover are likely out? Let us know when you're around, Max!
Let's plan to meet (and more broadly invite Pythia folks) to lay out last-week action items and reconvene later in the week to wrap up before the hackathon.
Julia Kent (Jun 12 2023 at 21:56):Yes I can be there! Let's still talk. I have questions about the tutorials
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 14:42):Hi y'all, I'm having a total internet outage at home (multiple times in weeks, thanks Xfinity.) I should be able to make it work, but I might be a bit late or reduced connection
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 14:45):Hi Drew I'm so sorry but I thought I had a meeting 10-4 for the CISL event, but it starts at 9.
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 14:45):Can we talk here about it instead of meeting?
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 14:55):If my connection allows, I'll plan to meet with @Brian Rose to lay out action items and facilitation ideas, then I can recap it here and we can see when we can meet later in the week. No problem!
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 15:04):Thank you! What tutorials are we giving and who is leading them on Day 1 is my main question. I will respond in this channel if you have any questions I might be able to answer.
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 15:17):And what are your thoughts on the Google Slides for project proposals: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1aLlcHnpLHiuRv4L4d3vEyAw9Ij53YS_is9rkfNyB0r8/edit#slide=id.g22706e90d2d_0_0
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 17:25):You're way ahead of us here! We agreed we should put something like this together; I didn't see your message. Thanks for starting on this
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 17:28):Our current plan is a few breakout tutorials, maybe ~90 minutes (with break/flex time) per number:
1.) a group-wide tutorial on the process of creating a cookbook (starting from the template, etc.) - unassigned presenter
2a.) facilitator support, the logistics of running the breakouts and assigning some virtual moderators, etc. - unassigned presenter(s)
2b.) general intro content, from zero to jupyterbook - max and brian both have some content here, but we may split up the load
Brian Rose (Jun 13 2023 at 17:32):We also talked about the first hour morning plenary, and roughly decided (1) High-level overview of Project Pythia and state of Cookbooks (Brian leads), followed by (2) Hackathon goals and logistics (Drew leads).
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 17:37):The slides are a little messy right now because I want to update them to use the UCAR template
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 19:04):Cleaned up the slides now. Should I send them out to people who said they might be interested in leading sessions by the end of the day today?
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 19:07):Also let me know what else we want power point slides for - the introduction? I might be able to put together something with the same template.
We can duplicate these slides and make edits for the report-outs.
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 19:54):I think Brian was going to spin that up and then start to poke us with potentially edits, etc.
Drew Camron (Jun 13 2023 at 19:56):Separately, we decided to open up a Slack workspace for hybrid and virtual communication and connection across participants and facilitators. We considered using the Zulip, but we assumed that would be burdensome for the Zulip maintainers and for accessibility to new users. @Julia Kent @John Clyne etc., is this the right read? Or is there a push to use the Zulip for more broad engagement?
Julia Kent (Jun 13 2023 at 20:00):My read is that more people are familiar with Slack than Zulip in general. I think either could be a good idea though
Drew Camron (Jun 14 2023 at 04:42):Hi all! Here is the join link for our Hackathon Slack workspace. Let's take some time tomorrow to populate it with a basic channel structure and some welcome messages, topics, etc. Then we can make sure to get the link out to registrants by the end of the day tomorrow!
Drew Camron (Jun 14 2023 at 04:42):(you all also should've received invites to your workplace e-mail addresses)
Julia Kent (Jun 14 2023 at 14:44):Okay great thanks Drew.
In our next email we should:
Julia Kent (Jun 14 2023 at 14:44):Where I'm at lost power so I can only work from my phone atm and am going to be busy away from my computer to COB today
Brian Rose (Jun 14 2023 at 15:47):Hi all, can I suggest that we migrate our hackathon-related conversations over to Slack instead of here. One less tab to keep open this week! We can create a private channel on the Slack for hackathon organizers.
