Session proposals - master #15

Closed mbonsma closed 8 years ago

mbonsma commented 9 years ago

Comment with proposed sessions, and if possible volunteer yourself or someone you know to lead a session. Even better, choose a date that you could lead it!

As of now, Thursday 6pm - 7pm is still the most popular time. Fill out the Doodle poll if you haven't yet.

If your topic is short, we can group several topics together into a coding lightning demo.

Sample comment:

Topic: Regular expressions in Python Presenter: Madeleine (@mbonsma) Dates: Any except July 9 Proposed length: Lightning demo

Shoot, I just realized I double booked for Thursday. I already committed to subbing for a team on Thursday. sorry :(

Maybe we could all do three minute thesis presentations. Or, we could all quickly do a three to five minute blurb on something (a program, library/package, resource, tool, etc.) that we've currently discovered or have been using lately that we'd like other people to know about.

That looks sweet! I don't know what @MattStata https://github.com/MattStata had in mind - maybe you could do a joint thing? Although that might be more work than one person leading something.

Anyone else want to add suggestions or preferences?

I really like that idea though! If nobody has a burning desire to do something else, I'll set that up.

QuLogic commented 8 years ago

There are already some lightning talks on the suggestion page...

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

Yeah. It looks like it's just @QuLogic and me outside of a larger suggested framework. Elliott, do you want to do the IPython demo? I can do a bit about regular expressions in Python.

Is anyone else interested in giving a 5-10 minute blurb about something? If not, we can just do those two and open the floor for contributions on Thursday.

I could do a Unittest intro next week, but at the moment I'm still busy with Thesis corrections. Generally speaking, I like the idea of short thesis presentations, so we know what others are doing; obviously we would focus more on the computational aspect. Something else we could have is presentations about some code we've written that's maybe a bit more self-contained and might be useful or at least understandable outside our own field. For example @dchandan has written a GUI program to edit gridded fields (arrays) with the mouse.

mbonsma commented 8 years ago

Okay so this Thursday we'll do short presentations from me, possibly @QuLogic, and we can add anyone else either between now and Thursday or impromptu on the day.

@aerler, your unit testing session next week would be great.
