2 years ago Dropping this here for us too, for completeness:
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.
Quite a few people in the survey indicated that they'd like to learn how to use containers, so we'll do a beginner level session on them. This will fit into the 1.5 hour category.
start by showing traditional pyenv method
pulling images
creating images (including files from local file system)
accessing local file system from container
list of comp-neuro containers (NeuralEnsemble/NEST/NeuroFedora/etc.): ask everyone presenting a tutorial if they have container images
[ ] set up web page for this on our website with initial information: people need to have docker/podman installed
@OCNS/software-wg : anyone up for taking this on? (I can do it, but if someone else would like to, that'll help spread the work :) )
