Pangeo Showcase#

We host showcase talks each spring and fall. Here are the steps to organizing the showcase talks:

• 1-3 months before the fall/spring series
  • Solicit showcase topics from the community
  • Check on the results from the speaker interest form
  • Reach out to potential speakers with an invitation to present
    • Send an introductory invitation
    • If they are interested, provide a few dates for the person to chose from
• When a talk is confirmed
  • Update the color and add the date on the speaker interest spreadsheet
  • Add the talk to the Pangeo showcase page
    • Submit a pull request that changes https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo.io/blob/main/src/data/showcase-talks.js. The showcase talks are automatically ordered by date on the website.
  • Ask the speaker to fill out the speaker information form
• 1 week before the talk
  • Announce the talk on the Pangeo Discourse (e.g., Arkouda announcement)
  • Update the Pangeo showcase page with the link to the Discourse post
    • Submit a pull request that changes https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo.io/blob/main/src/data/showcase-talks.js.
• 1 day before the talk
  • Announce the talk on the Pangeo X account
  • Add the talk to the weekly Pangeo check-in notes using the template at the end of the doc
• Day of the talk
  • Join the meeting using a NumFOCUS zoom account at least 5 minutes early
  • Explain that we usually start a few minutes after the hour
  • Ask people to sign in to the weekly Pangeo check-in notes
  • Ask the presenter to share their screen before the recording starts
  • Start the recording
  • Watch the talk
  • End the recording and moderate questions
  • Switch to the 60 second updates
• After the talk
  • Trim the video (handbrake is an open source tool for this)
  • Create a framegrab for YouTube (ffmpeg is an open source tool for this)
  • Upload the video to the Pangeo YouTube channel
    • Expand options in order to choose creative commons rather than the default YouTube license
  • Ask the speaker for their slides
  • Upload the video and slides to the Pangeo Zenodo community
  • Add a link to the YouTube video and slides on the original discourse post
• After the fall quarter
  • Make an archival copy of the weekly check-in notes

Potential gotcha's

• Only people with NumFOCUS Zoom accounts can record the talks. The list of people with accounts is available at https://github.com/pangeo-data/bus-factors
• Only the zoom meeting owner can access the cloud recordings, regardless of who presses record
