@emreerhan I've coalesced the questions down to 8 on the second page of this document
emreerhan commentedon Jul 10, 2018
Draft email for contacting team leaders:
ababaian commentedon Jul 10, 2018
Which document should we send with sample questions?
jenjaelin commentedon Jul 11, 2018
@ababaian pull the last page of the interview questions doc into a separate document to send.
jenjaelin commentedon Jul 11, 2018
Also for everyone: I updated the interview sign-up sheet with 2 new columns to keep track of who's been contacted and scheduled times when they are put up (just the date is fine). Please update so I can keep track of when the interviews are expected to be done :)
emreerhan commentedon Jul 12, 2018
Bruno says he'd be happy to host a git workshop for us :)
jenjaelin commentedon Jul 16, 2018
Reminder to vote for a meeting date! Currently looks as if the top 2 contenders are July 26th and 30th. If we don't have any new votes by the end of the day, I'll set it for July 30th to give everyone the max amount of time to get those interviews in.
Cheers,
J

Hi all, set the date for July 30th (6pm) at BCCRC as per usual. I won't be there, but if you guys find that most of the interviews won't be completed by then, feel free to schedule another date.
Cheers,
J

Heya! Reminder to remind interviewees if you haven't heard back from them yet. Also, don't forget to submit items for the meeting agenda :)
@emreerhan, have you heard back from the couple of people who said they'd submit a project yet?
emreerhan commentedon Jul 25, 2018
@jenjaelin we've received a project abstract from the ECOSCOPE team. They may ask to lead a team with only ECOSCOPE members. We're still discussing this with them.
I've emailed Allissa Dillman from the NIH about her project. I didn't receive an email from her yet, but I also didn't receive an "out of office" email either. I'll remind her again soon.
klgray25 commentedon Jul 25, 2018
Hey everyone! Could you please give a 2-3 sentence project summary for the projects you interviewed for? Either get this from the team lead or if you think you can summarize it yourself in a few sentences after having your meeting that works too. If they went into the same document as the interviews are organized in that would work well. I would like these for the participant applications. Currently, there is not a lot of consistency to the abstract lengths.
I am looking for 1 line of background/justification/problem statement. Then 1-2 lines to explain the premise of the project. I know that's not a lot, but I think it's best to keep it short - people aren't going to want to read ~10 full abstracts.
Hope this isn't too much to ask! I'd do this myself, but the interviewers probably understand each project better and are less likely to mis-convey the project premise. I think people would do a better job handling this for a project they've discussed in detail.
Thanks!
Kristen

@klgray25 Me and Baraa didn't get these. Can we (@emreerhan) just send one email to all the team leaders and gather all the information at once? I have a few things I'd like for the website. We can get everything at once. #19
klgray25 commentedon Jul 25, 2018
Sure! Sounds good to me. I understand that for some projects with later abstracts, we won't be able to get these right away. However, I would like them as soon as possible so that we can open the participant applications. Can we compile a list of things to ask the team leaders for in the next few days so that we can send that all out together?
emreerhan commentedon Jul 25, 2018
@ababaian that sounds like a good idea. I'll work on it.
ababaian commentedon Jul 30, 2018
@hackseq/hs18_org See you all tonight!

@hackseq/hs18_org See you all tonight!
bfjia commentedon Jul 30, 2018
yikes, forgot about this. I got a deadline tonight so i'll be unlikely to attend.
@SweetiePi and I interviewed rob Gilmore. the project seems pretty interesting and fitting for a hackathon. I think Alex could update you guys with that.
Abcellera have 2 mentors coming to network instead of running a team. but they do have ppl who are interested in joining as a team member though.

Hi everyone :) a hackseq facebook page is set-up under hackseq hackathon, please feel free to invite friendships! I will be making an event page soon...feel free to login yourselves and craft things...or give suggestions here.
ababaian commentedon Aug 3, 2018
@NoushinN There's a good chance the account will be taken down. You can't have an organizational account in facebook (it's their user policy), what we need is a facebook page for hackseq. You'd have to start it from your own facebook account (I think, I don't have facebook so I'm fuzzy on the details).
jenjaelin commentedon Aug 9, 2018
hey all, did you talk about when to have the next meeting? So I can go about getting things prepped with doodle and to do lists :)
ababaian commentedon Aug 9, 2018
We 100% did not.
baraaorabi commentedon Aug 14, 2018
When are we going to have our next meeting? Did I miss that? Or we still don't have a time set up?
ababaian commentedon Aug 14, 2018
Maybe let's do a meeting next week @jenjaelin and we can discuss meeting schedules after that.
jenjaelin commentedon Aug 14, 2018
sounds good. I will get the doodle up and running in the next hour :)
