- Very pleasant first congress
- Nice to meet people from other universities
- Great project ideas
- So many first time attendees!
- Pairing +++
- People clearing their schedules +
- CircleCI speeds much better than last year +
- Topics in place ahead of time made group forming go smoothly. +++
- Got a lot accomplished.
- Remote structure makes it available to more people
- 3 days good for 1 topic +
- Would like to do it again in February (I think he said March or April)
- All the planning was awesome +
- Many MCs was great
- Scheduling report-outs ahead of time was helpful (in the past this has been looser and hard to connect in-person and remote participants)
- We made it happen despite circumstances!
- Technology worked smoothly
- Very helpful to have some expertise.
- Good having a code person + not-code person collaborating to get both perspectives. Would not have been as productive without this.
- Beautiful board set up in advance for Hyrax-Valkyrization. It was awesome for someone who was new. Project boards in general for each topic. ++
- Communication in slack worked well for getting PRs reviewed +
- Nice to see people trying new development tools, new approaches, working outside their usual comfort area +
- Liked separate zooms.
- Improved developer experience in hyrax
- Liked check-in meetings and having them in calendar
| - Would have been able to work with more than one group +
- Wish it were longer ++
- Should have mentioned how to do co-author commits as part of intro / welcome
- How to have POs available / "on call" with agreement that the work can move forward
- Could have had a poll for topics (form groups asynchronously)
- Sad we couldn't do everything (specifically M3 work)
- Longer event? If we want to be able to move between topics.
- Is circle ci the burstiest it can get? If not we may want to look into bumping up a bit. (answer: it's as bursty as it can get)
- circleci had issues today generally, may not have been our plan
- Ruby gems and granting new privileges was a challenge
- Would be nice to have social time as we would have in-person
- Longer could have been better. More frequent might help with this.
- Do it more frequently
- Miss being in person, quick check-ins that are possible when you're next to someone +
- Competing project deadlines for local work.
- More time to actively work on two topics would be nice. Maybe make it quarterly and identify key functionality that many institutions want to get momentum. +
- Wish there was more devops stuff to work on.
- Try adding another congress to virtual connect
- Topic generation and distribution was a little rough, but worked basically ok
- Next time give calendar events a shorter reminder; maybe 15 min
