@mplsgrant this sounds really cool, do you have any youtube/video, public demo of this yet?

iglesiasbrandon commented 1 month ago

hey @mplsgrant this issue has been accepted for TABConf 6!

We are collecting an additional attribute for the workshops. Please update your issue and include a line item on the difficulty level of the workshop with either "Beginner", "Intermediate", or "Advanced".

Beginner: would be no prior knowledge needed, very few technical skills required for workshop Intermediate: At least some knowledge needed to not be lost, technical skills, Comp Sci, IT related experience is greatly beneficial Advanced: Potentially a strong working knowledge of certain technologies, libraries, fundamentals, Comp Sci, and related protocols. Error on the side of more advanced than less advanced as we want to set strong expectations. Depending on what you pick please gauge your workshop accordingly.

hey @mplsgrant just wanted to bump this issue. can you take a look at the message above ^

mplsgrant commented 1 month ago

@iglesiasbrandon This workshop has both Advanced and Intermediate elements. Would it be okay to apply both labels?

iglesiasbrandon commented 1 month ago

Hey @mplsgrant thank you for the info! We can only apply 1; I'm going to market as an intermediate.

mplsgrant commented 1 month ago

@iglesiasbrandon In that case, could we set this workshop to Advanced? We do want to err on the side of more advanced.

@iglesiasbrandon I noticed that this workshop is scheduled for Wednesday. Would it be possible to have it moved to Thursday or Friday? Sorry for having to ask for a schedule change. I didn't realize that there would be workshops that early in the week. We were hoping that participants could check out the Builder Day and then have a chance to check out the Workshop afterwards.

iglesiasbrandon commented 3 weeks ago

Noted. I will slot this into a spot on day 3 later this week when we work on the schedule. If you notice it has moved back, please ping me again! (I'm running out of RAM in my brain :)
