A collection of resources for the Open Science Demo Calls
I have a lot of ideas in my head about how to host the demo calls but it's always nice to have some notes!
Please comment here if you have anything you think should be included in the intro or closing comments for the host.
For example, do we need to thank anyone (except the guests of course?!)
Notes so far:
Thanks for having me today. Fun times!
I thought it might be useful to discuss troubleshooting solutions with Google Hangouts and what the best protocol. This seems to be a persistent problem as I've had issues come up in the past (when giving remote presentation w/ @ccraddock)
One suggestion is for participants to check their set up prior to joining. I actually did that by getting on a Hangout call with myself and I was able to realize my microphone was muted at the system level! Phew. It did require having two Google accounts to verify this however.
Having a phone with Hangouts as a backup might be a good thing to suggest as well, as it tends to be more reliable and sometimes the video quality is better. I would ensure to be on Wifi to avoid connectivity problems, though.
These calls just keep coming around don't they!
The April call is on Thursday 26th April at 7pm BST.
I think @arokem was on deck for April.
@chrisfilo also suggested Tammy to talk about https://breakspear.github.io/moviesinthemagnet/
What about advertising the OHBM hackathon? @gkiar could talk? But maybe that's not great because the travel award deadline is before this call so it might be kinda annoying to advertise but then say "oh, you missed the boat"??
@guiomar also had some good suggestions for EEG/MEG folks?
I know that we had decided on a theme for our May call (getting excited for Singapore !), but did we also decide on all of our guests ?
Need to send some invites
I can see OHBM has their own channel, but I’m concerned that they won’t like us live streaming from it without previous editing??
Brainhack has a channel with just 1 upload, maybe we could steam from that (@ccraddock?)
Or we can make an OHBM OpenScience channel?
What do you think?
Send link to google form to participants along with guide.
I don't know if there is time in the interview, but I would get a lot out of knowing what the speaker's development environment looks like. It can be as simple as asking what is their current go-to text editor, or what packages they think are cool that not a lot people may know about. The talk python to me podcast asks these questions at the end of every interview, and it helps me gauge what is being used out there by professionals. This channel may get more varied responses since it's not restricted to python, so it may be a little harder to frame the "packages" comment to be language agnostic.
Suggestion for questions at the end (if there's time)
Thank you for setting up this great resource!
We need a brief explanation of what the demo call is and how people can join.
Leaving this here in case anyone wants to help out (otherwise I'll do it - KW)
so ppl could easily add to their calendars and join live? (if it is happening live, otherwise ignore/close)
This was originally proposed by Nikola Stikov (who I can't find on GitHub ?), but it might be worth considering changing the number of guests per call from 3 to 2.
The benefits would be that each guest would have a bit more time to discuss their work and field questions from the audience, and it would also be easier for the host to check-in with / test connections for each guest before the call. Also, thinking about #17, having two guests would make it easier for each call to align with a theme.
The downsides include that if a guest can't attend at the last minute, then we'd only have one speaker to fill a full 30 minutes !
I'm leaning towards dropping down to 2 guests per call, though I know @KirstieJane is not convinced. But I'd love to hear other thoughts for or against !
I'm thinking BIDS would be a good project to start with - @chrisfilo: would you like to talk? Or is there someone you can deputise?
IF Brainhack Global 2018 is happening (we might be running out of time to get it planned??) then @ccraddock maybe you could talk about that?
I also just reviewed Porcupine and thought that would be a good project to feature?
(That's three if those all work out)
But another option would be to pick an EEG/MEG project - someone from MNE python perhaps?
Other suggestions very welcome!
As mentioned by @KirstieJane, it would be great to have a small, standardized set of questions that interviewees can fill out before the demo calls. How should we go about drafting these?
Much like a reddit AMA, we can use Neurostars during the call to have people ask questions about a product tagged with the demo's keyword.
We can set up tags ahead of time so people can reuse them. This will also expand/diversify neurostars to be more than a QA site for software.
Speakers/Demo-ers can then respond to these questions post the demo session.
If you'd like to speak, or if there's someone you'd like to hear from, please add their information here.
Ideal posts will include a link to the project and a couple of sentences about why they'd be of interest to the OHBM Open Science community.
For example:
I'd like to recommend you invite Tim van Mourik to speak about the Porcupine project (https://timvanmourik.github.io/Porcupine). It's a really interesting graphical interface tool that makes it easy for people to use nipype pipelines to build their analyses or to reproduce other people's studies. The project was also born at Brainhack Global in 2017 so it's a really fun example of a project that can grow out of a short term collaborative event!
Because we've pushed January's call to 1st Feb, the second call on 22nd Feb will come rather quickly after it!
Let's have a think about some people we can invite for that second call in advance so we're not behind the times
While watching the (awesome!) demo call today I was interested in the live chat functionality, but noticed that when I hovered over the chat window I was told I had to "Create a channel to join the chat."
It seems that in order to comment people need to (1) have a Google account, and (2) make a Youtube "channel." The latter is pretty straightforward: click on your account in the top left corner of Youtube, go to "My channel," and follow the prompts to create a channel. They'll have to enter a display name that will identify them in the chat, but should be good-to-go afterwards.
As someone who only superficially uses Youtube, the "Create a channel" message was not particularly illuminating. It seems a few people figured it out, but for new viewers it might be nice to post a helpful hint on how to get started!
We need to add a few sentences to the README file for this repository about WHAR the demo calls are and WHY we want to hold them
I know @KirstieJane is the best person to write them but she (I) am silly busy at the moment so any additional help is welcome
It would be interesting to see how to attach some sort of tags to the talks, corresponding to "themes". We could come up with a set of tags such as "workflows" or "data management" etc, and eventually have these evolve as a reflection on where our community is going, and may be used in the OHBM conference keywords.
So sorry - this is my fault becuase I have concert tickets on that day
Does anyone have any objections - or suggestions to a different date?
As suggested by @chrisfilo, it might be nice to feature other neuro-related youtube channels on the OHBM youtube account. Are there any suggestions for which channels should be featured?
