Hi instructors. I have duplicated everything from 2019 to this 2020 repo and made basic updates (years, people, installing). I need to ask you to review your section in light of a restricted schedule. Please

  1. Go to the 2019 slides folder and duplicate your files to the 2020 slides folder. Then, given we only have ~60 minutes include breakouts see the README.md], see what you need to eliminate.
  2. Look at the scripts in the folder here that pertains to you. Make any changes, and at least make sure the scripts still run as you expect.
  3. Key new things in 6.1 relative to one year ago that you may want to consider in revising scripts: Auto-legend option -l, more remote data sets (reliefs, plus newcomers seafloor age, earth day/night imagery).
  4. We initially had set up 5.5 hr days with lots of breaks, including 1 hour half-way through. But the reality of timezones make this perhaps too generous. If we start 7 am Hawaii (probably means Brook may join us a bit late since 5 am his time), we would finish 12:30 pm, which is 12:30 am in London and alter further east. However, if we shaved the 60 miinute break to 30 minutes it ends midnight in London. Let me know what you think. I do not think it is too much to ask for participants to stay up late for a free workshop, and I hope midnight is not too bad for @leouieda [I know it is not an issue for @joa-quim]. 7 am is manageable here but 5 am for @btozer which is harsh. Maybe shift it 1 more hour so it is 6 am in New Zealand and Europeans stay up until 1pm on a summer's night? I assume none of this affects @seisman or @Xiaohua-Eric-Xu?
