CfP Workshops - 0 The lack of early response is not an unusual pattern. RG to email a reminder to the lists on 8/3. ALL - need to develop a draft evaluation process next call and to create a way to get balance between dev topics, managerial etc and of diversity - big/small institutions etc. We should develop outline methods now but not put too much time in until we know we're going to be dealing with a surfeit of submissions. OR criteria:
Here's the wiki page Developer Congress - November 16-18 2020 Dev congress might look more like a 'vortex'. Quite some energy going to make sure new contributors have wayfinding to settle them in, and into more organization than a 'traditional' congress to help folks organize time. Anna Headley is chairing the planning. Note that the event might use quite a lot of Circle CI credits (warn Lyrasis?). The process is good for developing a pattern from remote dev congresses.
Conference Hours
Proposed starting time (approx 3hrs each day) - 8am PT, 9am MT, 10am CT, 11am ET, 4 pm UK? Richard Green Confirm that we'll start at 8:00am PT, 11:00 ET each day - because of clock changes this will by 4:00pm in the UK for the workshops and plenary,, 3:00pm for the presentation days.
Draft CfP RG's summary of our approach (see document link) was discussed. JF will check this over and make sure it all makes sense - ALL to discuss a final version next call. Good idea to use Sched to sign up for poster discussions and to pass information to individual poster groups. Put out a CfP with full description of the process early September.
Create CfP for social events Need to have sign-up process available beginning of October (also use Sched?) Need to be seriously planning by mid-August.
Mentoring Program
Create CfP for mentoring program See #8 above. Sign up forms for mentors and mentees done.
Resourcing/Teams review description document RG to draft an email to go to the lists asking for help to form and run groups for tech support, social events, mentor program. Social events need to be arranged to accommodate the time zone span. DS and EJ (with Jon Cameron?) will form the presentation group. Each group should have a liason with the program committee.
