other random points to make - sourmash is "open source mature"
Philosophy of sourmash
Discuss GitHub and basics of oss
combine "move fast with new features" with "don't break old things", and "polish the new features as they mature"
maybe "pay attention to what advanced users (phil, tessa, harriet, taylor, etc.) are doing, help them do it, and then design that back in" - clustering, revindex, lca, etc.
databases - combining databases in search, gather, summarize is straightforward and additive.
side note to self - this talk is also supposed to cover spacegraphcats... :)
outline of possible topics updated here - working copy for now. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zMj1KjqxDPhvAmajcNjEU0DgGw88c-XGEuXUU9Om2Rg/edit?usp=sharing
Random gemisch / brainstorming about an opportunity I have to give a more in depth tech talk on sourmash at JGI in early May 2020. What should I cover?
An incomplete list of potential tech-y topics --
Might be good to discuss or point at some of the use cases (#208).
In previous not-as-tech-y talks I've done this kind of thing as a series of vignettes focused on a biological question (e.g. see "Building methods to explore the unknown in metagenomes"). I think that centers the biology in a way that I'm not sure I want to do here?
