Notes

Introductions

Membership renewal

  • Julie from the library as well as Flora figured out we do not have enough money for membership dues
  • It has been pledged we think but it has not been given to us yet
  • We are short $600 for the membership dues
  • Ke will follow up with Julie and new directors of informatics institute, who we can then email after this
  • After we get this we can renew membership

Online workshop

  • Online ecology workshop - Cory had email exchange with the person who wants to do this
  • Calvin is interested in getting involved in this workshop
  • This would work the same way as what we used to do and invite the ecology org/department to sign up first since they requested it
  • No specific day yet - we would want to check with them about this
  • Vaasuki may also want to teach in this
  • Calvin will start to organize this and take communications forward - work with Vaasuki on this
  • Use institutional instructions for how to organize a workshop
  • R for ecologists workshop from carpentries club
  • State employee workshop would be completely online
  • Have specific date of workshop by next week

Tabline events update

  • Because we get funding from UF departments, we are not able to do tabling, it is a different type of organization

Semester workshop and recruiting events

  • The online workshop for federal employees can be opened up to UF affiliated peoples - make a website using resources for this
  • URLs for workshop planning: https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/hosts_instructors/hosts_instructors_checklist.html and https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-O1rKkVga5Ok1HXbH9ShI-buRoD53SzpErtzUJTXEFw/edit#heading=h.k7r8s9xh4tnu
