Pangeo Showcase Organizers Discussion (was "Showcase Host Duty Checklist")

Yes! I’ll do that next. Sorry, I have been waiting to update the schedule the next time time I put up a talk link from the archive, but I’m still waiting on those and you are right that we need to do this ASAP! Taking care of this now.

Pull request sent for the website table update. Sam submitted his speaker form. Waiting for Julia’s. Any updates from Alejandro for 6/23?

Awesome! Great work @lsmith. We so appreciate your help with this. :raised_hands:

FYI, I just deleted and rewrote the recent tweet about next week’s talk to include tags for the speaker and institution. This helps a lot with engagement.

I will notify the July speakers that we are pausing for the summer and will reschedule later

No word yet from Alejandro for 6/23. I’ve already sent him one reminder. Let’s give it a few more days.

Who is hosting this week’s showcase? It’s at noon. I sent Sam a reminder email Friday and he has already filled out the speaker form…the system is starting to work!!! @clyne @rabernat @rsignell

Eduardo’s talk is posted and we are still waiting for Matt to respond to Rich re: his talk info.

Thanks, Leslie. I can host this week. I added my name to the signup sheet.

Awesome! Thanks! Thoughts on adding something at the bottom of the showcase schedule table to announce the hiatus for the summer?

Also, can someone push through my pull request re: adding Eduardo’s talk? Or whatever the appropriate Git terms are there.

Lastly, I now have everything I need to upload Matthew’s talk and will do that in the morning.

Hi @lsmith, I think it would definitely be a good idea to put a notice on the calendar that we’'re taking a pause, but will be back in September, and that the signup sheet is still open for new talks.

Alrighty, the Rocklin talk is posted and a pull request has been made. I also fixed the YouTube link and added a note at the bottom re: summer break.

I then realized I had a typo in the title of the discourse post which when I fixed changed the URL…not sure how to fix that amidst the pull request, but here’s the correct URL - June 2, 2021: Coiled: Dask as a Service - just in case that is something someone can do real quick as they accept my pull request. Otherwise I’ll go back and fix it once I see everything go through.

Hi @lsmith, I fixed the URL typo and merged your PR. Thanks!

Ive still not heard anything back from Eduardo for next week. I’ve got a backup speaker lined up and say that we go with that so we can start advertising. The speaker is Brian Rose, brose@albany.edu, can you reach out to Brian with the speaker info form, etc? FYI I’ll be off the grid from Friday a.m. through all of next week. Thanks!

Thanks for the assist on the site. I’ll get in touch with Brian.

Brian submitted speaker information so looks like he is good to go for next week. I updated the showcase table with his info (as well as the Partee recording). Not sure who will be on their computer today, but if someone (@clyne @rabernat @rsignell) could accept that pull request that would be awesome.

Done. Thanks @lsmith !

I will really try to make the meeting this week. (Brian is a dear old friend of mine.) I’ll be in Italy but likely jet-lagged so why not stay up late. However, given then situation, I would kind of prefer not to host. Maybe @rsignell could MC this week?

:crossed_fingers: that we have sorted out @lsmith’s Columbia Zoom account, so she can press record. Leslie are you available at 4pm this week?

@rabernat, I’m available for Wednesday and would be happy to host.

I’ll plan on pushing record!

Just a heads-up/reminder that I will be out of town on Wednesday so I won’t be able to push record. I’ll be relatively off the grid (no wifi, some cell) from 6/30-7/7. I’ll post that week’s recording when I get back.

Rose recording has been posted and a pull request generated. I touched base with Julia and they are still good to go for Wednesday!
