I have a draft - does anyone have time to proofread it for me? https://github.com/yochannah/manifesto/blob/poster/poster/poster.pdf
I'm just going out to do the groceries but I'll take a look when I get back! (30 mins or so)
@yochannah some comments that correspond to the text of manifesto.md
(because I'm reading the poster carefully, so apologies about this and please ignore if unhelpful). These could well just require me to update my english language version :)
Through working with scientific code,...
This sounded weird to me. Perhaps it's how "manifestos" are generally written. I would suggest:
"We agree that scientific code needs to be treated as a primary research output"
Historically, science has been reviewed by its peers
Does science (as a subject) have peers? I would suggest:
"Historically, the work of scientists has been reviewed by their peers"
It is important recognise that people
"It is important to recognise that people"
I haven't found any typos etc in the poster itself: it's a true replication of manifesto.md
and looks great! :+1: :+1:
@drvinceknight thanks for the review! Especially that last one - I guess when reading I automatically added the "to" in as brains are wont to do. Does #36 look right to you?
Poster is printed!
Hey cool people! We've had the manifesto accepted for a talk / poster for GCCBOSC. This is fabulous! So now it's time to actually make the poster.
Specs
Size: A0 - 118.9 x 84.1cm
Poster contents:
Here's some good academic poster guidance: https://colinpurrington.com/tips/poster-design
Output formats
graphics editor I'd recommend using a vector editor such as Inkscape or Gravit Designer - they're both free, but Inkscape is open source. Gravit isn't open, but is somewhat easier to use.
It's due soon!
I'll be leaving for GCCBOSC on the 23rd of June, so ideally we need to wrap up the poster no later than the 12th of June to give us time to order the poster and for it to arrive. I'll pick this up on the 12th if no one else has had a chance to look at it.
