Agenda

Notes

Plan/Logistics for Discovery Hack-a-thon (Hook)

  • How to run the timing?
    • Allot time to specific technology, or give broad overview and let everyone "go at it"?
    • What to do for those who will be bored with the coding part? Point is to show low-barriers of entry...
    • Casting, publishing, aggregation should be in non-coders
    • Have mentors for individual groups, and quickly go through coding part
    • Since there are two sessions, have coding and non-coding sessions
    • What if someone is interested in more than one? People are stuck in one language for the whole ninety minutes...
    • Non-coders will need more help getting going, demos will be more appropriate
    • Final Decision: non-coders first (may continue into second session), then coder second session, split into quadrants...
  • Do we need a VM? (Probably not)
    • Not for any of the non-coder stuff... probably not for Perl, Python, or Java
    • Only the XSL transform has a dependency, and that's only on a JAR...
  • Chris, Hook, Ruth coordinate presentation order and introduction...
  • We will need to give intros for OpenSearch and *casting
  • If the tutorials seem brutally obvious, that's okay, people just need a push to start using
  • How to market?
    • Facebook, our own mailing lists, Google+ group, Twitter #esipfed
