CNS*2022 satellite tutorial: NEST (and associated tools)

[sanjayankur31]

Sessions on NEST and associated tools would be very very useful, and the dev team has indicated that they are happy to do them.

However, we note that NEST has also submitted a proposal for tutorials in Melbourne.

Update: e-mailed for initial information

Also pasting here for completeness. Tagging @clinssen @heplesser @jessica-mitchell @terhorstd In general, we think we will have three categories of sessions:

• short: 1.5--2 hours
• "half day": ~3 hours
• "full day": 6--7 hours

We leave the exact duration up to the different organisers. With the sessions being online, we are extremely flexible :)

We are reaching out to all the organisers now for initial bits of information to help us get started on the schedule. Could you please tell us by the 20th (end of next week):

• what is the expected duration of the session?
• what is the preferred start time of the session (in UTC)?
• are there days that you cannot hold the session in the June 27--July 1 interval?
• would you like us to set up zoom meeting rooms for you (for organisers that may not have access to institutional zoom etc. subscriptions)?

If you can please set up a web-page for the session and give us the link, we will put that on the schedule too. This last one is not necessary just yet. We can also put a post on the Software WG website if you prefer.

We are requesting organisers to record these sessions if possible, and we will work with the INCF folks to get the recordings put up on the INCF training space.

Hi @clinssen : just double-checking that you've all received my e-mails about this (from ankur DOT sinha AT ucl DOT ac DOT uk)?

Could you please set up a zoom meeting and a web page (optional) and e-mail me the link so that I can add it to the schedule that is sent out to registrants? I hope to open the registration form today and send out all the announcements.

I'll post regular updates on number of registrations and who intends to attend what so all tutors can prepare accordingly on this ticket here---please keep an eye on it: #106

I believe the NEST sessions weren't recorded. Closing. (I'll reach out to tutors for feedback etc. over e-mail)
