Content for AGU24 GMT/PyGMT pre-conference workshop

[weiji14]

This issue is for discussing the full-day workshop schedule and logistics. We'll have 8.5 hours (including breaks) to fill with a mix of GMT and PyGMT course materials.

👉 Draft outline: https://hackmd.io/@pygmt/agu24workshop_outline

Important dates:

• 31 Jul 2024 - Final day to make changes to workshop abstract
• Early Nov 2024 - Early bird registration deadline
• Mid Nov 2024 - Last chance to reserve housing in AGU hotel block
• 8 Dec 2024 - Pre-conference workshop day

Some initial points to discuss:

• Given that there are 6 presenters (5 on-site), what topics should we cover? E.g. basic plotting to more advanced processing methods
• Length of tutorials, is 30-45 minutes per person ok?

Note: We don't need to finalize the schedule/outline before 31 Jul 2024. Feel free to put down your ideas anytime before September/October.

I think I could give a lesson about animations with bash.

Questions:

1. Should we give the lesson live or can we use a recorded lesson (flipped classroom)?
2. Will be a limit for the ammount of parcipants? Which is it?

Thanks @weiji14 for starting this repro 🙂!

Looking at the list on HackMd I think I would like to work on the pandas related lesson.

@Esteban82 Great idea (maybe this is my change to give to movie module a try).

I tried to also assign @andrebelem to this issue, but this seems not to be possible.

I think I found my mistake - I believe I included the "@" 🙁. Now it worked!

Oh - I apologize @maxrjones - I overlooked that you also tried to do this at the same time.

Thanks everyone for getting started on this! I'd encourage everyone to put down ideas directly at https://hackmd.io/@pygmt/agu24workshop_outline if possible (to keep this issue thread from getting too long). @Esteban82 and @jhtong33, could you please create an account on HackMD (can use your GitHub login) so I can invite you to edit that outline too?

Questions:

1. Should we give the lesson live or can we use a recorded lesson (flipped classroom)?

I think the expectation is that this lesson would be given live. I'll ask the AGU staff though if we can use recordings.

2. Will be a limit for the ammount of parcipants? Which is it?

There is a cap of 80 seats for the workshop.

I already have an account (with the same name than here).

Another point: People have to bring their own laptops for the workshop, correct? So, they should have installed the necessary packages before the workshop. Maybe it makes sense to consider some time at the beginning for helping here, if things were not successful for some participants?

[Esteban82]

Yes. they have to bring their laptops. And yes, we migth consider some time to help them. I think here that the best is to ask them to try to install the sofwtares before the workshop (I assume that they will have some days).
